Web design across Yorkshire
LDC offers web design across Yorkshire from one team in Leeds. We build websites for trades, professional firms and specialist businesses that serve customers in more than one town, and we plan every site around the services and places you genuinely cover.
The site you’re reading is our own work. Further down you can open it alongside three others we’ve built for very different businesses. To talk it through, call 07540725926 or send an enquiry.
or email hello@ldcradio.co.uk
Distance makes very little difference to how a website gets made. Most of our projects run by phone, email and video call, with a preview link you click through on your own phone before anything goes live.
We have one base: our registered office in Mabgate, Leeds. There are no branches elsewhere and we won’t pretend otherwise. If you’re in Leeds we can meet here. Further afield we’ll usually talk by phone or video call, and we can talk about meeting in person if the project needs it.
We work with businesses across West Yorkshire in Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield and Halifax, up to York and Harrogate in the north, down to Sheffield and Doncaster in the south, and over to Hull in the east.
Each of these sites handles place differently, because each business serves a different patch. Open them and see how they deal with the towns and regions they cover. The longer write-ups are under our work.
Chimney sweeping and servicing, Yorkshire
A Yorkshire chimney sweep that covers many towns without a single town page. Most of its inner page titles, and its headings, are written for Yorkshire, and the places it serves are named in its meta descriptions and page copy instead, while every fireplace and stove type has a page of its own. A lighter structure that suits a trade people call for one clear job.
Civil and structural engineering, Yorkshire
An engineering practice with five town pages, from Leeds to Harrogate. Each one lists the services available there, answers local questions and links to nearby areas and recent work in that town, and the practice’s structured data names the same areas it serves.
UK planning application data (subscription service)
A national subscription business with no town pages at all, because its customers could be anywhere in the UK. The site is organised around searches instead, with a long landing page for people wanting to view planning applications near them, complete with a how-to section and FAQs.
Community radio station, Leeds (97.8 FM, DAB, online)
Our own site serves a city and a region at once. Local dance events cover Leeds and Bradford, the community section carries Yorkshire guides to nightlife, eating out and things to do, and the station’s structured data lists the places it serves.
Start with services, then add places only where you have something real to say. Customers search for the job and their own town, so a business that works across several towns needs one clear page for every service it genuinely offers.
A town page earns its place when it carries things true of that town: work you’ve done there, local questions, the areas nearby. The sites below show two ways of handling it, and SEO across Yorkshire explains where Google draws the line.
Nobody needs to type ‘near me’ into their pages, because search engines work out where the searcher is. What you control is a clear service page, an accurate Google Business Profile and a site that says plainly which areas you serve.
Whichever town you’re in, the build is the same. Every site we design for a Yorkshire business comes with these.
Pages are designed for a phone first, since that’s where most local customers will find you, then widened for desktop.
Change text, photos and opening details without calling us, or leave the updates to us if you’d rather.
A page for each service, and area pages only where they’re useful, all planned before any design starts.
Every page gives visitors a way to act: a number they can tap and a short form that tells you what the enquiry is about.
Unique titles and descriptions, canonical tags, structured data about your business and an XML sitemap, all set in the code.
Images sized for the screen, readable text and contrast, and headings in a sensible order, checked before launch.
We agree up front who holds the domain and logins, along with the hosting, so there are no surprises later.
Every stage works at a distance. You watch the site take shape on your own screen, and you always know what we need from you next.
A phone or video call about what you do, which towns and services matter most, and what a useful enquiry would be for your business.
We share a document listing every page, what it’s for and who writes it. You comment in your own time and sign it off before design begins.
You get a link to the draft. Open it on your phone and your laptop, send your notes, and we revise it until it’s right.
The approved design becomes a working site on a preview address. Forms, call buttons, speed and the search basics are checked on real devices.
The site goes live on your domain. If it replaces an older one, each old address is redirected to its new page so existing links keep working.
After launch we check that everything is behaving. If you’d like us to keep looking after the site, we can agree what that covers.
Talk it through with LDC on the phone, or send a few lines and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Your postcode doesn’t come into it: you pay for the work. These are the things that move a quote.
More services and more area pages mean more to plan, design and write. Sending finished copy yourself keeps that part smaller.
Booking, customer portals, subscriptions or live data each need their own planning, building and testing.
Connecting the site to a CRM, accounts package, mailing list or booking tool depends on what those systems allow. Our web development page covers that side.
Selling online adds products, checkout, payments and delivery rules, and every one of them has to be tested.
Real photos and a settled logo make design quicker. If either needs creating first, that becomes part of the plan.
If you want us to host the site or keep it updated after launch, we’ll talk that through and agree it separately.
Tell us what the site has to do and which towns you cover, and we’ll price it. Call 07540725926 or send an enquiry.
Some Yorkshire businesses sell to customers they’ll never meet, anywhere in the UK. For them, the website is organised around what people search for rather than where they live.
Planning Insights is our example. It sells planning application data nationally, so its pages are written around searches like ‘view planning applications’ and ‘UK planning data’, with a long landing page that explains the service and answers common questions. Town pages would add nothing there. SEO across Yorkshire goes deeper into national and regional search.
Radio has a narrower footprint. The station is on 97.8 FM, licensed for the City of Leeds, with DAB in Leeds & Bradford, and it’s online, on the app and on Alexa for everyone else. So for a launch aimed at Leeds or Bradford, an on-air campaign can point listeners at your new site. Across the rest of the county, search and social media do that job.
Questions
Yes. We’re based in Leeds and build websites for businesses all over the county, East Riding included. Planning, design reviews and sign-off all happen by phone, email, video call and preview links, so a client in Harrogate or Sheffield gets exactly the same process as one down the road from Mabgate.
Only where you can make each page genuinely useful. A town page should carry something true about that place, such as jobs you’ve done there, local questions or the areas nearby. If all you can change is the town name, you’re better off naming your areas on a strong service page and putting the effort into your Google Business Profile.
Not because of where we are. A quote reflects the work: how many pages, who writes them, and features such as booking, subscriptions or a shop. Working at a distance adds nothing to that, since most projects run on calls and shared links anyway. Tell us what you need and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Often it can be restructured. If your site is sound but one page is trying to cover every service and town, we can split it into proper service pages and add area pages where you have real work to show, keeping the addresses that already bring visitors. If it is slow or hard to edit, rebuilding can cost less than patching it, and we’ll show you why before you decide.
Yes, if you want to. We can set the site up so you change text, photos and opening details without touching any code, and we show you how before handover. If you’d rather not, we can make the changes for you. Tell us at the start which suits you, because it affects how the site is built.
It helps, but nobody can promise where Google will place you. A clear page for each service, honest area pages, accurate business details and a well-kept Google Business Profile give search engines what they need to connect you with local searches. We build those foundations in, and our Yorkshire SEO page covers the ongoing work.
