One person building websites for trades and dog breeders
Castleberg Digital is one person: me, Sam, based in Settle, building websites for trades and dog breeders anywhere in the UK, and looking after them long after launch.
Who you'll be dealing with
I'm Sam, and I run Castleberg Digital from right here in Settle.
I started it for a simple reason. Too many good trades and breeders are let down by a website that hides them, or no website at all, while the work quietly goes to whoever shows up first online. I build proper websites that get those businesses found, that they own outright, and that they see finished before they pay anything. I call it Happy-to-Launch.
The business is named after Castleberg, the crag above the town, and I work with businesses anywhere in the UK, by phone, video call and email. If you're local, we can meet in person (you'll often find me up at Kirkby Lonsdale Golf Club). Round here you get one reputation, and I'd rather do a job right than fast and cheap. If that's the kind of person you want building your website, get in touch.
Why trades and breeders
A plumber needs to turn up when someone nearby searches. A breeder needs buyers two counties away to find them. A general web designer builds the same site for both.
I build for the way your customers actually look for you, and that's the difference between a website that looks nice and one that brings in work.
You talk to the person doing the work. Sam Brown, Castleberg Digital
Why me, specifically
At an agency, your request passes through an account manager, a project manager, a designer and a developer. Every layer adds delay and cost. With me there are no layers.
Direct access
Every message comes to me and I answer it myself. Tell me a good time and I'll ring you back, usually the same day.
No waiting about
No handoffs means no waiting. Sites are built in weeks, not months, and post-launch tweaks come straight to me, not into a ticket queue.
Honest pricing
Every package price is published on the pricing page. If the cheaper package will do the job, that's the one I'll recommend.
Still here next year
The monthly plan means I look after your site long after launch, not just until the invoice is paid.
