Skipton Clients I’ve Worked With
Rebecca Rennolds Permanent Beauty & Laser
Rebecca runs a premium beauty clinic in Skipton offering semi-permanent makeup, laser treatments, and advanced aesthetics. Before working with me, she had no website — just social media that was becoming impossible to manage.
The Challenge: Create a professional online presence that showcased her premium services and made booking easy.
What We Built:
- Booking and price list accessible in one click
- Gallery-focused design to show off her work
- Mobile-first approach for clients browsing on phones
- Local SEO targeting Yorkshire beauty searches
The Result: Now generating 3,000-4,000 page views per month with clients regularly saying “I found you through your website.”
The Yorkshire Unicorn
A unique Skipton hospitality venue launching in a competitive market. They needed a website that could compete with established hotels and drive direct bookings from day one.
The Challenge: Stand out in a crowded market with no existing reputation or reviews.
What We Built:
- Clear call-to-action buttons for direct room bookings
- Easy-to-update CMS for adding new rooms and local attractions
- TripAdvisor integration for social proof as reviews build
- Stunning imagery from a local photographer
The Result: A polished website that positions them as a premium destination, with direct bookings increasing weekly.
The Coach House Skipton
An established Skipton institution that had never had a website. All bookings came through third-party sites like Booking.com — eating into their profits.
The Challenge: Create a website that drives direct bookings and integrates with their property management system.
What We Built:
- Direct booking integration with their PMS
- Mobile-optimised design for guests researching on phones
- Easy content management for staff updates
- Professional presentation matching their existing branding
The Result: The site now takes direct bookings weekly, increasing profit margins by cutting out third-party fees.
