York Web Design for small businesses that mean business

Building affordable, reliable and professional websites for businesses across York and beyond.

Who are we?

If you run a small business in York, you already know the competition is fierce. Whether you're a sole trader in Micklegate, a growing firm near the Shambles, or a service business operating across the whole of North Yorkshire - your website is your hardest-working salesperson. It's open at midnight. It never calls in sick. And it either wins you customers while you sleep, or it quietly loses them to someone else. That's where ThriftySites comes in.

We are York's web design specialists for small businesses. Not a faceless agency with a revolving door of account managers who've never met you. Not a template mill that slaps your logo on a generic layout and calls it a day. We're a tight, dedicated team who take the time to understand your business, your customers and what you actually need your website to do. We've built websites for over 200 clients. We have an excellent rating based on more than 70 Google reviews. And we'd like to build one for you.

What can ThriftySites do for you?

Let's be specific. Because 'professional website' is a phrase that means nothing on its own. Here's what you actually get when you work with us.

Easy Integration

Your website works seamlessly with the tools you already use, including CRMs, booking systems, mailing lists and e-commerce platforms. Everything connects smoothly, with no awkward workarounds.

Every website is SSL secure, monitored with regular security scans and built for fast loading. Your visitors stay protected while your business benefits from better performance and trust.

Easy to update

Lewis is extremely talented, speedy, patient and helpful. He created our website as we envisaged it and was quick to make any tweeks we needed. Really kind of thriftysites to support charities in this way. Thank you again.

Project Director

Lewis was so helpful in setting up our website and was very patient with my lack of IT skill. Many thanks.

Caroline

Absolute first class service from Lewis at Thrifty Sites - nothing was an issue and all my requests were met. Lewis made fantastic suggestions to make my website look professional and tailored it to my business. Price quoted was competitive. I would not hesitate to recommend Lewis to anyone seeking a new website or a revamp of their current website. 5* service

Edward Miller

Lewis has built us two good websites now and done a great job. Has always responded when issues have arose, even on bank holiday weekends. Has never charged us too much and always been great to deal with. 5 stars.

CHRISTOPHER MUSGRAVE

Ricky Thames

From the initial phone call and discussions about what we needed, Lewis fully understood the requirement and quickly produced an excellent website for us to review. In a short space of time, Thrifty Sites has delivered an excellent product for our organisation's needs and with an extremely fair price. He is on hand and able to discuss issues quickly and accurately. I would highly recommend Thrifty Sites

Anthony Mollet

The continued service that I receive from Lewis and Steve is exceptional. Not only did they produce a website I am extremely happy with, the after care and support I have received since then has been just as impressive. If you want a team who you can rely on and trust to do a great job as well as driving more business to you through increased website enquiries then this is the team you need.

Nicola Amidulla

I enlisted Steve and his team to build the website for my company, we are capable to do this in house being a tech company but we just don't have the time! Steve and Lewis have done a great job, and not only that, I tasked Lewis to build websites for some of our industry leading customers. Again, a top job and customers are very happy with the results! Wholeheartedly I recommend Thrifty sites, and continue to do so for my current customer base when they need website and online Prescence solutions. Not only is the work good, but so are the people and the communications! Thanks from the Jackson Systems Team.

Jackson Company Limited

Why choose a local York Web Design team?

There's no shortage of web designers on the internet. You could go to a company in London, or Mumbai, or anywhere in the world. But there's something to be said for working with people who know York - who understand the local market, who you can actually meet, who pick up the phone when you call.

We work with York businesses every day and we know what local customers expect and we know what local competitors are doing, with pricing tailored to suit different types of businesses and project needs. That local knowledge, combined with genuine technical skill and a track record of happy clients, is what makes us the web design choice for York small businesses who want results rather than excuses.

Let's get your website working for you

A website that sits there looking pretty but doesn't bring in enquiries is an expensive ornament. Your website should be earning its keep: pulling in visitors, building trust and turning browsers into buyers.

That's what we build at ThriftySites.
