Web design in Burnley.
A proper website and a Google listing that bring you enquiries - built and looked after for you from just up the M65 in Colne. One simple monthly fee, no big upfront bill, and you don't pay a penny until it's live.
Digimill is a one-person web design business in Colne, Lancashire, run by Matt. It builds and looks after websites and Google listings for small businesses in Burnley and across Lancashire and Yorkshire, with a free preview first and no setup fee.
Burnley businesses get chosen online first.
Burnley runs on its independents - the shops, cafés and salons around Charter Walk, St James's Street and Standish Street, and the clinics, trades and services covering the estates and villages around town. Out at Network 65, Burnley Bridge and Shuttleworth Mead there are engineering firms too, and UCLan has a campus in the old canalside mills of the Weavers' Triangle.
Whatever you do, your next customer is probably looking you up on their phone before they ring. They're checking you're open, that you look the part, and that other people rate you. A proper website is where all of that comes together in one place.
How people in Burnley actually find a local business.
Most people don't type 'Burnley' at all. They search 'near me', or just type what they want. Google then shows the businesses closest to them that have a well set-up Google listing and good reviews, usually on a map right at the top of the page.
So a nice website on its own isn't enough. It needs to work hand in hand with your Google Business Profile (the listing that shows your business on Google Maps) and your reviews. That's why we build all three together, rather than handing you a site and leaving you to work out the rest.
- Your Google Business Profile set up properly, so you show up on Google Maps when people nearby search.
- A website that loads fast on every phone and is built so Google can find it and recommend you.
- Google reviews collected after each job and shown off on your site.
- Every enquiry sent straight to your phone by text and email, the second it lands.
What we'd build for your Burnley business.
Every site is built around the business, not squeezed into a template. A few examples of what that looks like in practice:
- A salon, barber or therapist - online booking so the diary fills itself out of hours, a treatment list and a gallery of your work.
- A café or venue - menu and opening hours that are always current, photos of the place and a direct line to your Instagram.
- A shop - your range on show, opening hours and directions, and a quick way to ask about stock on WhatsApp.
- A trade or home service - your accreditations up front, photos of real jobs and a form that tells you the job and postcode before you call back.
- A firm on one of the business parks - a clear, credible site that answers what buyers and recruits want to know before they get in touch.
Working with people just up the road.
I'm Matt, and Digimill is based in Colne, a few junctions up the M65. I've spent a decade building websites and software for the likes of the University of Leeds and the DWP. Now I bring that same work to local businesses, at a price that makes sense for them.
When you work with Digimill, you're talking to me - no account managers, no call centres, no runaround. We build it. We manage it. You get on with the job.

Websites in Burnley - your questions
Do you cover the whole of Burnley and around it?
Yes - from the town centre and Charter Walk out to the estates and the surrounding towns like Padiham, Nelson and Colne. Wherever your Burnley customers are, we make sure they can find you.
I'm a small independent in Burnley - is a website worth it?
Definitely. The independents around Standish Street and St James's Street win work by being found and recommended; a proper website turns a passing search into an enquiry, and works alongside your Google reviews rather than replacing your regulars.
Most of my work comes from word of mouth. Do I still need a website?
Word of mouth is the best kind of work, and a website backs it up. When someone gets your name from a friend, the first thing they do is look you up. If they find a proper site with your services, photos and reviews, the recommendation sticks. If they find nothing, some of them quietly move on to someone they can find.
Will this help me show up when people search 'near me'?
That's what it's built for. Most people in Burnley don't type the town name - they search 'near me' and Google shows the businesses closest to them with the best profiles and reviews. We set up your Google Business Profile properly, link it to your site, and help you collect reviews, so you're in the running when someone nearby goes looking.
I'm on one of the business parks, not the high street. Is this for me?
Yes. Firms on Network 65, Burnley Bridge and Shuttleworth Mead get checked out online before anyone picks up the phone, just like a shop does. For a business-to-business firm, a clear, professional site is often what decides whether a buyer or a new recruit takes you seriously.
How much does it cost?
It's one simple monthly fee that covers the website, hosting, your Google listing and updates. There's no setup fee, you don't pay anything until your site is live and you're happy with it, and you can cancel with 30 days' notice. Current prices are on our pricing page.
I already have a website. Can you take it over?
We can. We'll build you a new one, keep your existing domain and point it across, and handle the switchover so nothing goes down while we do it. Your domain stays yours.
