Web design in Ripon
Ripon's independent businesses rely on being easy to find, both online and around the cathedral city itself. We build sites that make that as simple as possible. From the shops and cafés around the market square to the trades and professional firms working across the wider Ripon area, a website that loads fast, shows your hours and location clearly, and actually ranks for local searches does more for a small business here than a flashy one that doesn't.

“We recently worked with Freddie at FAC Systems on a full redesign of our website, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Freddie really took the time to understand what we were looking for and translated that into a site that looks great and works even better.”
Why local
Working with businesses in and around Ripon
Built for Ripon's independent businesses
A website built around how Ripon's independent shops, trades and professional firms actually work — not a generic template.
Showing up in Ripon searches
Optimised so nearby customers searching for your trade or service find you first.
Easy to reach for support
Close enough to Thirsk for in-person visits whenever they're useful.
One of Britain's oldest cathedral cities
Home to Ripon Cathedral and the centuries-old Hornblower tradition — a market town with real history, and real local search demand to match.
Market day still matters
Ripon's Thursday market has run in the square for centuries — a reminder that footfall and reputation still count here as much as search rankings do.

Questions
Common questions
Is £250 or £500 really the whole cost?
Yes — that's a one-off payment for the design and build. There's no ongoing fee to us afterwards unless you choose the optional hosting and updates plan.
Which option is right for my Ripon business?
It depends on how many pages you need and whether you need extras like online sales or bookings. Get in touch and we'll give you an honest answer, not an upsell.
What does "set up on your own account" mean?
We set your website up using your own hosting and domain accounts, in your name, so the site is genuinely yours rather than something you rent from us.
Can you help my business show up for local Ripon searches?
Yes — basic local SEO foundations are included with every site, and we can go further with ongoing SEO work if you want to rank higher for Ripon-specific searches.
Do you only work with shops near the market square?
Not at all — we work with independent shops, trades and professional firms across the whole Ripon area, not just the city centre.
