03 / A straightforward way of working

A proper conversation.
Then a proper plan.

You don’t need a finished brief or a head full of technical terms. Bring your business, your ideas and the things you’d like to do better.

01.

Get to know your business

Who are your customers? What do they need to know? What should happen when they visit? We start there, then agree the scope and quote.

02.

Make it feel like you

We shape a visual direction, work through the content and share the design for your feedback before the full build comes together.

03.

Check it. Launch it. Look after it.

We check the mobile experience, links and enquiry route, then launch with your approval. You’ll know how the site works and what happens next.

A NORTHERN NAME. A SHARED APPROACH.

Your business is personal.
We think the work should be, too.

I’m Thomas Barrett, founder of Wor Digital in Darlington. I run transport businesses as well as building websites, so I understand why clear enquiries, useful information and straightforward booking journeys matter. You work directly with me, with a written scope and a clear point of contact.

BASED IN DARLINGTON. WORKING WITH BUSINESSES ACROSS THE UK.

A few things you might be wondering

Before we
put the kettle on.

Do I need to know exactly what I want?

No. An idea of your business, your customers and what you want the website to help with is enough for a first conversation. We can work through the rest together.

How much will my website cost?

One-off website builds start at £395, with optional hosting and care from £29 a month. The pricing page shows the packages and common extras; your written quote confirms the exact scope before work starts.

Can you help with a website I already have?

Yes. We’ll first look at how it was built and what access is available. That helps us give you a practical recommendation: improve it, refresh it or start again.

Do you only work with businesses in the North East?

We’re based in Darlington and love working with local businesses, but we can work together remotely wherever you’re based in the UK.

The next good thing starts with a chat.

Got something
good going on?

Let’s give it a website that does it justice. Tell us a little about your business and what you have in mind.

Studio exploration / Not a client project

Brass & Brush

A fictional decorating business, given a calm, considered identity. An example of how a hands-on local service can have a distinctive online presence.

The idea

Quiet sage, warm cream and type with a little personality. The layout puts the quality of the work and an easy enquiry route first.

What a full site would include

Services, genuine project photography, the decorating process, areas covered and a clear way to request a quote. No invented reviews or results.
