Five star rated on GoogleNorth Yorkshire

Websites for businesses that need the phone to ring.

Web design, local SEO and care plans for businesses across the UK, led by Sean at Copper Lane.

Who we are

More than a web design agency. We build websites that earn their keep.

About us

Copper Lane is a small web design and local SEO agency in Ampleforth, working with the trades, shops and service businesses of North Yorkshire. Sean leads every project and stays your point of contact from the first call onwards.

We work across web design, local SEO, website care and reviews, and the parts are joined up on purpose. A site that looks right is no use if nobody can find it, and being found is no use if the site does not turn a visit into a phone call.

What that means in practice: a fixed build price agreed before anything starts, a clear next step back within a working day, and Sean still picking up in three years when something needs changing. No account managers in the way, and no work disappearing to someone you never speak to.

About

A web design agency in Ampleforth, looking after small businesses right across North Yorkshire.

I am Sean, and Copper Lane is my agency. We are in Ampleforth, in the Howardian Hills, building websites and running local SEO for small businesses across Yorkshire. I lead every project myself and I stay your point of contact, so you are never handed to an account manager or left talking to someone who was not in the first conversation.

Twelve years of building sites for plumbers, electricians, cleaners, joiners and shops has taught me the job is the same every time: explain the business clearly, work properly on a phone, and make it easy for a customer to get in touch.

I keep a small number of projects on at once, so yours gets proper attention rather than being squeezed between twenty others. If that sounds like the way you would rather work, have a look at what I do.

About Copper Lane

Services

Four things I do for small businesses across North Yorkshire. Every one of them exists for the same reason: to make the phone ring.

How I work

Four stages, the same every time. You always know what is happening, what it costs, and who is doing it.

  1. 1

    Listen

    I sit down with you, in person where I can, and work out what your business actually needs. You talk to me, not an account manager.

  2. 2

    Map

    Page structure, a content plan and a basic SEO map, grounded in what local customers are actually searching for.

  3. 3

    Make

    Design and build in short feedback loops, then final checks, forms, analytics and indexing before it goes live. No messy handover.

  4. 4

    Tend

    Hosting, monthly checks, small edits and the growth work if you want it. Sean stays responsible for the work after launch.

The person you deal with

Websites that someone stays responsible for.

Owner

Sean Inglis.

Your direct contact for design, build and local SEO.

  • The attention to detail they put into the design of the website has been amazing. They brought ideas and features to the table that I would never have thought of myself, such as the scratch to reveal effect for cleaning transformations, which really helps showcase the work we do in a unique and professional way.

  • I highly recommend Sean as a web designer. He is reliable, professional, and very easy to communicate with. He listened carefully to my ideas and delivered exactly what I needed. The whole process was smooth, efficient, and the final result exceeded my expectations.

Questions

The things people usually need straight before they get in touch.

What does a Copper Lane website cost?

The design and build is a one-off £1,200. After launch, the site runs on Growth at £199/month or Local Pro at £299/month, depending on how much ongoing SEO and content work you want.

Do I deal with Sean directly?

Yes. Sean leads every project and stays your point of contact from planning and build through launch and ongoing care. You are not passed to an account manager.

Is this only for North Yorkshire businesses?

No. North Yorkshire is home base, but we work with small businesses across the UK when the fit is right.

Can you help if I already have a website?

Yes. I can review what you have, explain what is holding it back, and tell you honestly whether it needs a rebuild, a tidy-up, or more visibility work.

Will you guarantee rankings?

No. Nobody can promise Google positions honestly. I can build the technical, content and local-search foundations properly, then keep improving them month by month.
