Web design in Hull that gets you found — and booked.
Vexo is a founder-led web design agency based in Hull. We design and build custom websites for independent businesses across Hull and the East Riding — no templates, built to load fast on a phone, and set up properly for local search so the people nearby actually find you.
You deal with the person doing the work from the first call to launch. No account managers, no call centre, no hand-offs.
Why most Hull business websites don't get found
Most independent businesses we scan already have a website that looks fine. It still doesn't show up when someone in Hessle or on Newland Avenue searches for exactly what they sell.
The reason is almost always technical, not visual. The site is missing structured data — the machine-readable description of who you are, where you trade and what you offer — so Google is left guessing. Chains and directories that spell it out win the search instead.
A Vexo website is designed to look like your business, not a template, and built so Google understands it from day one.
Web design across Hull & East Yorkshire
We're based in Hull and work with independent businesses right across the city — the city centre and Old Town, Hessle Road, Newland Avenue, Princes Avenue, Holderness Road and Sutton — and out into the East Riding: Hessle, Anlaby, Kirk Ella, Willerby, Cottingham, Beverley and beyond.
Being local matters for local SEO. Your site should talk about the areas you actually serve, in the words your customers actually search with — and we set it up that way. We also work with independent businesses elsewhere in the UK over calls and screen-shares.
What every Vexo website includes
Designed from scratch
A custom design around your business and your customers — never a reskinned template that looks like everyone else's.
Local SEO built in
Schema markup, local business signals, clean titles and descriptions, and a sitemap — the foundations Google reads first.
Mobile-first & fast
Most local searches happen on a phone. Pages are built to load quickly and work properly on small screens.
Maps & listings sorted
Your maps and local listings set up properly, so your details match everywhere Google looks.
Plugged into your tools
Calendars, booking systems, CRMs, card payments, WhatsApp & SMS — enquiries land where you already work.
The person doing the work
You speak to the founder, not an account manager. Straight answers, no jargon.

Questions people ask
How much does a website cost in Hull?
It depends on what your business actually needs, which is why we don't publish a price list. Every Vexo site is designed from scratch, so the quote is shaped around you. Book a free 15-minute call and you'll get a straight, no-pressure quote.
Do you only work with businesses in Hull?
We're based in Hull and most of the businesses we work with are in Hull and East Yorkshire, but we work with independent businesses anywhere in the UK over calls and screen-shares.
Will my new website rank on Google?
Nobody can honestly guarantee a ranking — anyone who does is guessing. What we do is build every site with the foundations Google relies on for local search: schema markup, local business signals, clean metadata, fast mobile pages and properly set-up listings. Most sites we scan are missing some or all of these.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. Run the free website health check first — it shows exactly what's holding your current site back, and gives us both a starting point for the call.
Can you add online booking or an AI assistant?
Yes. We can connect your site to your calendar and booking tools, add an AI chat agent that answers questions around the clock, and set up Vex, our AI receptionist, to answer your phone.
