Web Design in Durham, Built From What You Actually Say
Mitchell Digital is based in Barnard Castle, in County Durham. I build every site the same way: an interview first, not a template, so the page ends up sounding like you, not like generic web copy.
Part of County Durham, Not Just Nearby
Barnard Castle is in County Durham, so this isn’t a neighbouring-town claim, it’s the same county. Most of my clients are spread across County Durham rather than Durham city itself, and I’m a member of the North East England Chamber of Commerce, which covers the whole region.
Old Stone Cottage, a holiday rental in Sherburn Village about three miles from Durham city centre, is a good example of what that looks like in practice. I built their site from scratch with a custom booking system that syncs with Airbnb and VRBO, so guests can book directly at a lower cost and the owners keep more of what they earn instead of paying Airbnb’s cut on every booking.
How it tends to work
Every project starts with a conversation, not a content form, usually 60 to 90 minutes where I ask the questions a customer would ask on the phone. If you’re in Durham or nearby, we can do that face to face; otherwise a call works just as well. From there it’s the same process everywhere: content built from what you actually said, real photography if you’ve got it or a plan to get it, and a site built to bring in enquiries, not just look good.
It’s not the right setup for e-commerce or product catalogue sites, I’ve moved away from those to focus on service businesses, and it’s not a fit if you’re after a fast brochure site with minimal input from you: the interview is where the useful content comes from, so it needs your time. If that’s not what you’re after, no hard feelings, I’d rather say so now than waste your time later.
What you get
A local business, not a call centre
An interview, not a content form
Built to rank locally, not just look good
Proof and FAQs built in, not bolted on

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you actually work with businesses in Durham in person?
Yes, though most of my clients are spread across County Durham rather than Durham city itself. Barnard Castle is in the same county, so if it helps, we can still meet face to face rather than doing everything over email.
Do you only build websites for businesses in Durham?
No, I work with businesses across the UK, but being based in County Durham means I know the wider area well, and what actually matters to customers searching locally.
How much does a website cost?
Builds start from £2,500. There’s no page-count package, because the number of pages your business needs depends on what you actually offer, not a tier I’ve picked in advance.
How long does it take?
Typically 5 to 6 weeks minimum from interview to launch, assuming content gets reviewed and approved promptly. Timelines can run longer depending on how quickly content gets approved.
Can you help me show up in Google Maps for local searches?
Yes. Local SEO and a properly set up Google Business Profile are part of getting found for searches like “plumber Durham” or “web designer Barnard Castle”, not a separate add-on.
What platform do you build on?
WordPress, using the same standardised stack (Beaver Builder, Gravity Forms, ACF) across the large majority of builds. That’s not a limitation, it’s what lets me troubleshoot fast and keep things reliable.
