Websites for Durham businesses
Durham is small, but its name carries a long way. Its cathedral and castle are a World Heritage Site, and the university is by far the biggest employer. University research produces spin-outs, and many end up at NETPark in Sedgefield alongside companies working in photonics, semiconductors, printable electronics and space. Deep-tech companies need websites that explain genuinely hard ideas in plain English, introduce a credible team and give investors, partners and recruits a clear next step.
The student market is large, and lettings agents and landlords compete hard before each letting season. A lettings website with property listings fed from your CRM, good photos and floor plans, clear information on bills and deposits, and an easy viewing request form can save a lot of phone calls.
- University spin-outs and NETPark firms: start-up websites for investors and recruits
- Student lettings agents and landlords: listings, viewings and landlord pages
- Hotels, cafés and attractions: booking, menus and visitor information
- Event organisers: event listings and ticket links
- Public sector suppliers: accessible sites to WCAG 2.2 AA
- Manufacturers across County Durham: capability pages and RFQ forms
Visitors are the other big market. The cathedral, castle, river walks and the Lumiere light festival bring people in, and hotels, cafés and shops on the peninsula need sites that load quickly on a phone and show opening hours that match Google.
Durham is also County Durham's administrative centre, so public sector suppliers need accessible sites with clear policies. Local search is moderate, but Durham is often searched alongside Newcastle, so being specific about your location helps.
