Ben has built us a brand new website taking our values, message and branding and has created a clean professional yet engaging website which looks fantastic. Ben had ideas from his expertise on how we can improve the format and design. He is now building us a portal for our customers within the website to keep it all together through Wordpress and elemental software which is really easy to use for when we upload new documents and blog posts. The service has been excellent with Ben giving us regular updates and it was seamless in the transition with the old website and domain change, which is a worry off our plate! Thank you - really appreciate the time spent on the project!

Ben was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process of updating our outdated website at Kirkby Lonsdale Golf Club. From the beginning, he guided us with clear explanations and offered multiple tailored solutions to meet our specific needs. His professional attitude and expertise made what could have been a complicated task feel easy and stress-free. We're beyond thrilled with the final results and highly recommend his services!

Ben has been exceptionally helpful, patient and understanding in our quest to obtain a new, fit for purpose web site. Once it was launched he gave us a practical session to explain how to edit and manage the site. This was in addition to a video we can keep for future reference and for others who may want to edit in future. We found his help invaluable. We’re very happy with our new website and the service.

Exceptional Website Transformation by By Design: Working as a consultant for Brooklands Guest House in Penrith, I was tasked with elevating this successful business through a comprehensive digital refresh. The centrepiece of this transformation was a complete website redevelopment and professional photography update. We engaged Dave Wilson Weddings from Cumbria for photography and By Design from Heysham, Lancashire, for website development. From initial concept through to final delivery, By Design demonstrated outstanding professionalism throughout the entire process. The project timeline was impressively managed, running from late 2025 through to early January 2026. By Design worked collaboratively with us through every phase: design consultation, development, review, and final snagging. Their attention to detail and responsiveness to feedback was exemplary. What particularly stood out was their patience and conscientious approach—they took the time to understand our vision and translated it into a website that perfectly represents Brooklands Guest House's brand and values. We're so impressed that we're considering transferring our ongoing hosting and maintenance to By Design as existing contracts expire. Both Dave Wilson Weddings and By Design delivered exceptional results, but By Design's combination of technical expertise, creative insight, and genuine commitment to client satisfaction deserves the highest recommendation.

Our experience of working with Ben has been very positive throughout and, most recently, he did an amazing job in redesigning our holiday let website, taking into account our own ideas and needs and at the same time developing those ideas into an attractive and usable product. He is knowledgeable and creative and was able to guide us through the whole process in a patient, calm and professional manner. The website was produced in good time and we are extremely satisfied with what he has produced for us. We will certainly recommend him to others.

He created a fabulous website in a very good timeframe, nothing too much trouble and great advice and input when needed. I Cant thank Ben enough, he delivered over and above. & Already I have had amazing feedback from my customers. So its a absolute 5 star plus review from me.

Ben Yates website design service goes beyond translating your business to customers. Guided by Ben to refine and define presentation and key messages. As if a bonus business consultancy scaffolds conversations to elevate the final product. Completely un-AI-able.

We had a full website redesign and we could not be happier! The whole project was seemless, lots of moving parts and adaptations along the way, yet nothing was too much trouble. Our website is also hosted By Design. Professional, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and highly recommended. Could not be happier with the service. Thank you Ben & team.

Ben was recommended to me for my website design, I can’t fault any part of the process. Love the website, Ben also promptly changed some of the minor details for me to make it exactly the way I wanted. I am confident that I am in good hands moving forward.

I would not hesitate to recommend BY Design. We moved our hosting and maintenance across to BY Design, and instantly saw improvements in site speed. Ben keeps things simple and over communicates meaning you know exactly where you are at in every stage of the process.

James Atkinson

Excellent! Ben was fantastic from start to finish. Listened to the brief, and delivered. Very quick and cost effective. Great guy to work with. Thank you, Ben!

FANTASTIC!!! Ben was great to work with, after being let down by another website developer and having waited nearly 12 months to be told he was no longer doing websites, we found Ben through a recommendation. Ben was great, very easy to work with, prompt on setting meetings and understanding what we needed and the website was ready for our review within two weeks! Bens attention to detail and wording was brilliant and after another meeting to discuss slight changes we are ready to launch!! Highly recommended and we will be using Ben again for any additional alterations in the future.

Joel Shooter

Set up a lovely looking website efficiently at a more than fair price, also easy to reach and helpful in assisting with management of the site going forward.

I was recommended to use BY Design and I'm certainly glad we did. Ben has a very professional business attitude and in all my dealings with him so far, has been very helpful in suggesting solutions to problems. I look forward to continuing our business relationship. I'd also have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

I felt invisible online before I met Ben! I am so grateful to have been recommended to contact him. Ben is not only incredibly professional and efficient but he makes you feel so valued as a client. He very quickly updated, secured and worked all the other behind-the-scenes magic involved in making a website work well. Now that my website is in safe hands I feel excited for the future as my business moves forward.

We gave Ben a very simple brief for our website, we didnt want to reinvent the wheel. Rather than upsell us he delivered exactly what we wanted, we now get online enquiries how cool is that!!!?? Hoping now to evolve the website over time with Ben's help. Thank you so much. Bigland hall caravan park.
