Specialist

Web design and development, technical SEO and social media integration specialist. Helping Yorkshire businesses get found, get leads & grow online. How can I help you?

Based in Pocklington, serving the whole of Yorkshire... including York, Leeds, Hull & Doncaster.

I am your Yorkshire Techy. 💚

25+ years professional experience

I hear this all the time...

You built a website but nobody finds it on Google?
You're paying for a site that hasn't brought you a single enquiry?
Your site keeps breaking and nobody knows why?
You had an agency build it but now you're stuck with zero support?
Someone set up your Facebook pixel / Google Analytics wrong and your data is useless?
Your site looks fine on a desktop but falls apart on a phone?

Any of these sound familiar?

A website that doesn't rank, doesn't load fast, and doesn't convert isn't an asset. It's a cost.

About me

25+ years... great clients... real results.

I'm Craig Pickles

A web designer, developer and technical SEO specialist based in Pocklington, East Yorkshire.

I’ve spent more than 25 years building and managing websites, from major brands like Alton Towers, Santander, Matalan and Available Car to the local businesses I now work with every day.

My goal is simple: websites that work for you, without the hassle.

I'm not an agency. There's no account manager in the middle. You deal with me, start to finish, and I've been doing this since before even Google existed.

Whatever your problem is, I can help fix it.

Need my help?

Let’s have a friendly chat about your setup and find ways to make it work better

What I can do for your business

Whether you need a new website, better rankings, clearer insights or someone to keep everything running, I provide the technical services that help your business start working digitally. Here’s some of the ways I can support you.

Website design & development

Fast, mobile-ready sites on WordPress, Umbraco or Go High Level. Built with SEO in from day one

Technical SEO

I fix the technical issues holding your site back, and optimise it to rank higher on search engines. Speed, structure, schema, indexing - all done properly.

Website troubleshooting & maintenance

Monthly care, updates, fixes and monitoring so you can focus on running your business

CMS support

I fix, support and improve your existing site - I work within most CMS's including WordPress, Umbraco, Wix and Go High Level

Social media setup and support

Pixels, ad accounts, analytics, automations. The technical side your designer may have skipped

SEO audit reports

A plain‑English website audit that shows what’s working, what’s not, and exactly how to fix it. No jargon, no Waffle.

Yorkshire and proud

Yorkshire through and through

Based in Pocklington, I work with businesses across Yorkshire, from the cafés and tradespeople of the market towns to the professional services firms in York and Hull.

You don't need a big-city agency. You need someone who can speak your language, understands your issues and how to fix them, and has over 25 years of experience behind them.

Why Choose Me

Digital solutions that work as hard as you do

Most local businesses have a website. Very few have one that actually brings them customers. The difference isn't the design, it's the strategy, the technical foundation, and the ongoing care behind it.

25+ years technical experience

I've helped Alton Towers get 1 million followers, I've helped the HMRC take secure online payments, I've helped a local hypnotherapist automate all her communications and helped countless other businesses

Optimised for search from day one

Not bolted on after. Every website I create is optimised for technical SEO from the start

One person, full accountability

No agency handoffs - you always deal with me

Plain english, no jargon

I'll explain everything clearly, without tech jargon or fluff

Kind words from clients

Highly recommend for all tech related work.

All the best,

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been connected with Craig for a while now and we’ve chatted about web design etc. I had designed a logo for a charity I’m setting up but needed a professional version with various file types. I asked Craig if it was something he could recreate for me and he immediately said yes. He created all the file types I needed, super quick and was very reasonably priced. I’m delighted!! On to the professional web build now Craig!! Massive thanks.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craig was fantastic at helping me sort out complex calendar issues.  He kept going until everything was sorted, despite it not being straight forward.
He will be my go to IT person going forward.
Highly recommend.  Very reliable, friendly and trustworthy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I need help with getting my name out there, didn't even have a domain name or co.uk email and had no clue. I'm a nail tech not a computer wizz kid.
So got in touch with Craig. He full understood, and was able to guide me through. We had a very easy chat on the phone and met for a coffee.
I was armed with my laptop and phone, and but the end of that coffee every was on and set up for me
I found Craig very approachable, down to earth, and good at his job. No problem is to big or to small.
Thank you, I'll be back.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craig is a superstar.  He designed our website for us at Yorkshire Appetite Food Tours and we are absolutely delighted with it.  He is a great communicator and always answers my questions, however small, very quickly. It's been a smooth process and we love our new website. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craig at Yorkshire Techy has been supporting our community business for over a year on and off, with tech advice/problem solving, he's created a new website for us and helped in numerous other ways, e.g. setting up Microsoft accounts. I can't recommend him highly enough- he's extremely supportive and reliable, took time to understand our organisations needs and responded to issues as they came up. If you're looking for tech support, website design from a friendly face, definitely worth considering Yorkshire Techy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craig did an amazing job building my website. Right from the offset we agreed the scope of the project and the timeframe, which was all achieved as agreed.
Craig has a wealth of contacts so was able to recommend a copywriter for my content and the two of them worked together to provide the end result, which enabled me to concentrate on  developing other areas of my business.

Would highly recommend Craig.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Craig at YorkshireTechy has been one of the best decisions I've made for my business. Over the past year and a bit, he's built out five interconnected sites for me on Go High Level — and he didn't just "do the job," he properly embraced the platform and ran with it.

Craig is responsive, reliable, and genuinely invested in getting things right. He's the kind of person who goes above and beyond without making a fuss about it. The quality of his work speaks for itself, but it's the consistency over time that really sets him apart.

Highly recommended to anyone looking for a web professional who actually cares.
