Web design, booking sites and SEO for York's tourism, hospitality and professional businesses.
FREE CONSULTATION
Websitelift is a Bradford-based web design, development and SEO agency working with businesses across York and North Yorkshire (33 miles from our office). We build fast, search-ready websites and online stores at a fixed price, and run local SEO campaigns that win the York searches that bring in customers. The first consultation is free.
York is one of the most visited cities in the country, and its business base reflects that: hotels, guest houses, restaurants, attractions, tour operators and the shops of the Shambles and Stonegate. Alongside them sit professional firms, a large university and the Science Park. The common thread is that most customers find these businesses through search, often while already in the city.
We build York websites that convert a search into a booking, a table or a visit, with the speed and mobile design that a visitor standing on Parliament Street expects. For professional and B2B businesses we focus on credibility and the search terms that bring in work from across the North.

BOOK A FREE CONSULTATIONThe same team handles the design, the build and the search work - nothing falls between a designer, a developer and an SEO.
A visitor decides whether you look credible before they have read a word. We design around that moment: clear hierarchy, honest photography, type that is easy to read on a phone, and a layout that leads the eye to the next step. Every page is designed with its real content, at real breakpoints, so what you approve is what goes live.
A website has one job: turn a stranger into an enquiry. We start with that number and work backwards - through the messaging, the structure, the page speed and the follow-up. Design is how it gets done, not the point of it.
It is easy to add visitors who will never buy. We go after the narrow set of searches made by people with a budget and a deadline - then make sure the page they land on is built to close them.
Most social media management is an expensive way to keep a grid tidy. We treat the channel as a route to a conversation - content designed to reach the people who could buy, and to give them somewhere to go next.
Real projects for real businesses across retail, health & wellness and food & drink.
Fireworks retail is unusual: most of the year's trade lands in a few weeks, the catalogue is deep, and customers arrive knowing either exactly what they want or nothing at all. The store had to serve both without getting in the way.
A local treatment business lives or dies on two things: showing up when someone searches for your service in your town, and making it effortless to book once they land.
Food and drink sites fail when they make you work for the menu. The brief here was simple: show the product, say where it is, and get people to the order page.
This is a category where the customer is usually deciding between several near-identical listings on several near-identical sites. The site has to answer price, delivery and legitimacy before anything else.
Six stages. Each one has a duration and something you receive at the end of it. Nothing runs open-ended, and nothing is invoiced that was not quoted first.
We ask what you sell, who buys it, and what the site is failing to do. You leave with at least one useful observation whether or not you hire us.

CALL FREE 0800 270 7275Yes. A fast site with a direct booking engine, a rate-match message and good search visibility shifts a meaningful share of bookings to direct, where you keep the commission.
Yes. Several of our clients trade heavily in a few weeks of the year. The site and the marketing are planned around the calendar rather than treating every month the same.
Our office is in Bradford and most clients are within an hour of it, but the process runs on calls, a shared board and a live staging link - so distance rarely matters.
