Web design from Worlaby, in the Ancholme valley

Websites for the farm shops, holiday lets and workshops of the Ancholme valley.

A tidy, quick website that gets you found on Google Maps, takes enquiries while you’re out in the yard, and that you can change yourself. Built in about a week, from £299.

Who it’s for

Small businesses that live down a lane, not on a high street

Most of the valley’s businesses don’t need a big website. They need the right few pages, saying the right few things, kept up to date. Here’s what that tends to mean.

  • Farm shops & farm-gate sales

    Eggs at the gate, meat boxes, potatoes by the bag, Christmas turkeys.

    The site needs: what’s in this week, opening times, and how to order ahead.

  • Holiday lets & B&Bs

    A cottage, a shepherd’s hut, a couple of rooms over the yard.

    The site needs: good photos, the rooms, what’s nearby, and an enquiry or booking link.

  • Stables & equestrian

    Livery yards, riding lessons, farriers, saddlery and schooling.

    The site needs: what you offer, prices or “ask us”, and directions down the lane.

  • Pubs, village halls & venues

    The local, the hall committee, the church room for hire.

    The site needs: food times, events, hire rates and a calendar people can check.

  • Tradespeople

    Builders, joiners, electricians, plumbers, tree surgeons, mechanics.

    The site needs: the work you take on, where you’ll travel, and a way to ask for a quote.

  • Makers & small producers

    Honey, jam, gin, pottery, furniture, flowers by the bucket.

    The site needs: the story, the products, and a few things people can buy.

An older farmer hands a wooden crate of fresh vegetables to a young family inside a rustic farm shop.
A young female garden centre employee kneels and points out purple and yellow flowers to an older couple in a plant nursery.
A delivery driver hands a package to a mother holding her toddler at the front door of a brick cottage with a delivery van parked nearby.

Clubs and societies too — the cricket club, the bowls green, the WI, the parish newsletter. See what’s included.

What matters out here

Four things a valley business website has to do

Everything else is decoration. If a site does these four well, it’s earning its keep.

  1. Get you found on Google Maps

    Plenty of people look for “farm shop near me” on a phone, from the car. Your Google Business Profile and your website should agree with each other — same name, same hours, same directions — and I set both up so they do.

  2. Let you change it yourself

    New season’s prices, closed for harvest, lambing open day. You shouldn’t have to email somebody and wait. Your site is built on a simple editor you can use from a phone.

  3. Bring the enquiries and bookings to you

    A clear form on every page, so someone wanting to book the cottage or order a hamper can do it at 10pm without ringing. Already using a booking system? The site links straight to it.

  4. Sell a few things, if you want to

    Not every business needs a full online shop. Meat boxes, gift vouchers, a dozen jars of honey — a small range people can order without you running a warehouse.

Prices on the gate

What it costs

Starting prices, written down where you can see them. You get a written price for your own job before anything starts.

Up and down the valley

From the Humber bank to Snitterby

Ancholme Web is named after the river that runs, mostly dead straight, down the middle of this patch. I work from Worlaby, under the edge of the Wolds, and the businesses I’m building for are the ones along it.

Close enough to call in and talk it through over the kitchen table, if that suits you better than a video call.

How it goes

Three steps, and about a week

  1. You tell me about it

    Fill in the form below. What you do, who your customers are, what you want people to do when they find you. Send photos if you have them.

  2. I build it

    A written price first, then the site, usually in about a week. You see it on a private link and tell me what to change.

  3. It goes live, and it’s yours

    Your address, your Google profile linked up, and a quick walk-through of the editor so you can keep it current yourself.

Tell me what you need

A few lines is plenty. Say what the business is, what you would like the website to do, and roughly when. I will reply with a straight answer and a price.

  • No need to ring round — everything starts here.
  • You will get a written price before any work begins.
  • Not sure what you need? Pick “Something else” and describe the problem.
