Freelance web developer in Skipton.

Web development for Skipton businesses

I'm Gabe, a freelance web developer based in Yorkshire. I build websites for businesses in Skipton and across the Dales — from independent retailers and hospitality businesses to professional services and local agencies.

Skipton punches above its weight as a market town. Between the high street, the canal, and its position as a gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, there's real commercial energy here — and businesses that want to make the most of it need a website that works as hard as they do.

I build custom WordPress websites from scratch — designed around your business, optimised for search, and fast enough that visitors don't bounce before they've seen what you do.

What I build

Every project is different, but the things I focus on don't change: great design, solid performance, and a site that's easy for you to keep up to date.

• Custom WordPress builds — themes and plugins built from scratch, no off-the-shelf templates
• Built for search performance — fast load times and clean structure that give search engines exactly what they need
• Full CMS — update your own content without needing to call a developer every time
• Redesigns and rebuilds — if your current site isn't pulling its weight, let's fix that
• Agency partnerships — reliable white-label development for agencies working with Skipton and Dales clients

Local knowledge, proper development

I know Skipton well. That means I understand the mix of businesses here — the ones serving locals, the ones attracting visitors, and the ones with ambitions well beyond the town itself. A website should reflect that, and I build them to.

Happy to meet locally if you'd like to talk things through in person, or we can keep it entirely remote — whatever suits you.
