Go Web Helps Yorkshire Businesses Succeed Online
The history of Go Web began around the year 2009 when I took an interest in web development whilst working for BT.
After doing some private projects to build a portfolio, I got an opportunity to join a company called Telescope Studios in Leeds. Whilst working for Telescope, I was surrounded by some amazing and talented individuals who taught me a lot. During my years there, I did website work for some large companies including Bristan, Spear & Jackson, Portakabin and Purina.
Whilst in Leeds, I was also working as a freelance Web Designer/Developer as demand for those services grew. My freelance work soon overtook what I was doing for Telescope, so as the business evolved I incorporated Go Web as a company and committed to it full-time.
My clients are always looked after personally and I don’t ever plan to become too big. Meeting with my clients face-to-face has helped many Yorkshire-based businesses get off the ground.
Go Web has grown to the point where I have now been involved in the design, development or management of over 300 websites. Most of these companies are based in Yorkshire, which is something I’m very proud of.

What I Do
More About Me & Go Web
I specialise in the development of websites on WordPress. The decision was made to concentrate on this platform because it is the most widely used, well supported and the most popular. Previously, I have also worked on other web platforms, including Magento (Adobe Commerce), Drupal, Shopify and Opencart.
I have experience in front-end and back-end technologies, including HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, SQL and more. Staying up to date with what’s happening in the web world is important to me and ensures my skills and capabilities enable me to deliver exactly what the modern client demands.
I am particularly focused on SEO. Over the last few years, this has become a huge part of what I do. I always keep up to date with what Google and the other major search engines are looking for. I believe that a Web Developer should know the fundamentals of SEO, so I invest a lot of time practising the latest techniques to ensure my clients’ websites rank well in search results.
Design & Development
Web Design is a passion of mine. I started out in web and graphic design before later moving on to development work. I am very experienced in using graphic design tools such as Adobe Creative Cloud, namely Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. By using the latest tools I can provide my clients with attractive, modern designs to choose from.
Ethos & Values
I am very proud of my Yorkshire roots. Without any funding, the business started small but has grown quickly. By simply providing a great service to my customers, I have amassed a large client base. I’ve had to do this the hard way, starting from nothing, so I understand how tough it is for new businesses to get going.
That is why I will always be down-to-earth, to the point and realistic. I say what I think and take a proactive approach with my clients. I want my end product to make you money. If I don’t agree with you, I will tell you, as long as it is going to benefit you and your business.
