The Difference

What a real redesign
actually looks like.

We don't have client work to show yet, so here's exactly what "custom" means in practice — a typical template-built trade site next to what we'd build instead.

Before

★★★★★EST. 1998FREE QUOTES!!

Generic template. Clashing colours, no hierarchy, hard to read on mobile, nothing guiding you to actually get in touch.

After

Get a Quote

Custom layout, clear visual hierarchy, and one obvious next step for every visitor — built around how people actually book a job.

Why Barnsley Webdesigns

The honest case for
choosing a new studio.

No back-catalogue to hide behind — so you get direct access to the person doing the work, and a free mockup before you pay a penny.

You're not client #247

Big agencies rotate you between juniors. Here, you work directly with the people designing your site — from brief to launch, same team the whole way through.

No template recycling

We haven't sold the same layout 50 times already. Every project starts from a blank canvas and your brief — not from a file we've used since 2019.

Lower overhead = fairer prices

No Shoreditch office, no account managers, no layers of markup. You pay for design talent, not our rent. That's why our rates are genuinely competitive.

Senior skills, startup energy

Founder Dane Woodhead comes from an agency and in-house background. You get that expertise and attention to craft — without the agency's six-week onboarding process.

We need to earn our reputation

Unlike an established studio coasting on its name, we have everything to gain by making your project the best thing we've ever made. Your success is literally our portfolio.

Modern stack, current thinking

No legacy code, no deprecated tools, no habits from 2015. Every site we ship is built with current best practices for speed, accessibility, and long-term maintainability.

Who you'll actually work with

Dane Woodhead — Founder & Lead Designer

I design and build every project personally — no handoffs, no account managers, no juniors learning on your budget. Background in agency and in-house design roles before starting Barnsley Webdesigns. From your first brief to launch day, you're working with me.
