Designers, developers, videographers and copywriters based in Wakefield and Leeds. Proper people, proper work." last_updated: 2026-07-02 publisher: "Our Agency" publisher_url: "https://our-agency.co.uk/" site_guide: "https://our-agency.co.uk/llms.txt" --- # Straight-talking PEOPLE Building proper partnerships since 2007 We're a creative digital agency based in Leeds and Wakefield, and we've been building websites, brands and digital experiences since 2007. We're a small agile team of designers, developers, videographers and copywriters, all in-house, all working together on every project. No sales reps in fancy suits. No account managers who don't know your project, just the people who actually do the work. ## Reyt Nice People ![michael new](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/michael-new-1.jpg) Our Michael Digital Director ![michael new hover](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/michael-new-hover-1.jpg) ![ash new](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/ash-new-1.jpg) Our Ashley Technical Director ![ash new hover](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/ash-new-hover.jpg) ![sam new](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/sam-new.jpg) Our Sam Creative ![sam new hover](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/sam-new-hover.jpg) ![tom new](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/tom-new.jpg) Our Tom Developer ![tom new hover](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/tom-new-hover.jpg) ![ste new](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/ste-new.jpg) Our Stephen Videographer ![ste new hover](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/ste-new-hover.jpg) ![lauren new](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/lauren-new.jpg) Our Lauren Copywriter ![lauren new hover](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/lauren-new-hover.jpg) ## What Others Say Our Agency don’t just build great websites, they’re capable of supporting all your digital and marketing needs, which is exactly what they have done for us at CML.

They are able to work through technical challenges at pace, delivering the desired results every time and on budget. Importantly, they are good guys and always take time to listen and solutionise together.

Having built our new website, we were impressed with how they both listened to what we really needed and brought their own ideas. They're clear about their own views too, but not inflexible. Importantly, Michael and Ash are good people to work with.

They’re proactive, easy to work with, and always made sure we understood what was happening and why.

Starting as our web agency, developing and maintaining our website, our relationship has grown to helping us launch a full rebrand. Work is always on time, to great quality and well tested.

We don't have a new business team that wins work and hands it over to people you've never met, the people you talk to in the discovery call are the people who design, build and manage your project. Michael and Ash lead on digital and technical work, Sam leads on design, Tom handles frontend development, Stephen covers video and photography, and Lauren handles copy. You'll know who's responsible for what from day one. We'll set up a shared project space on our portal, create a project timeline wand keep you updated at each milestone. We use tools like Slack where it suits the client, or straightforward email where it doesn't. The goal is that you always know what's happening and what's coming next, without it becoming another thing on your to-do list. It's completely up to you. Most of our projects are managed remotely and work brilliantly that way, we share everything clearly, run video calls at key stages, and make sure nothing is lost in translation. If you're based in Wakefield or Leeds and prefer face-to-face, we're always happy to meet at either of our studios. Some clients like a mix; others we've never met in person and that's worked fine for years. The core of the team has been together for a long time, several team members have been with us for over a decade. That kind of continuity is important for clients, when someone understands your business, what decisions were made along the way, and why things are the way they are, it saves time and avoids repetition. A whole array of businesses which is why we enjoy our job so much and keeps things interesting. We've worked with civil engineers, student accommodation providers, shopping centres, fragrance brands, plant machinery manufacturers, third sector organisations, home developers and yacht wrapping specialists, among many others. We tend to work best with businesses that care about doing things properly and are looking for a long-term partner. If that sounds like you, let's have a chat. ![arco logo 252F2C](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/arco-logo-252F2C.png) ![assent logo 252F2C](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/assent-logo-252F2C.png) ![cml logo 252F2C](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/cml-logo-252F2C.png) ![dewalt logo 252F2C](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/dewalt-logo-252F2C.png) ![haribo logo 252F2C](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/haribo-logo-252F2C.png) ![il4u logo 252F2C](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/il4u-logo-252F2C.png) ![leeds city council logo 252F2C](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/leeds-city-council-logo-252F2C.png) ![liebherr logo 252F2C](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/liebherr-logo-252F2C.png) ![major of london logo 252F2C](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/major-of-london-logo-252F2C.png) ![national trust logo 252F2C](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/national-trust-logo-252F2C.png) ![ncm logo 252F2C](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ncm-logo-252F2C.png) ![sfs logo 252F2C](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/sfs-logo-252F2C.png) ![tekla logo 252F2C](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/tekla-logo-252F2C.png) ![transdev logo 252F2C](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/transdev-logo-252F2C.png) ![trinity walk logo 252F2C](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/trinity-walk-logo-252F2C.png) ![wakefield council 252F2C](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/wakefield-council-252F2C.png) ![wdh logo 252F2C](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/wdh-logo-252F2C.png) ![wyca logo 252F2C](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/wyca-logo-252F2C.png) ![ysf logo 252F2C](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ysf-logo-252F2C.png) ### Web Development ![icon webdev](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/icon-webdev.svg) - Bespoke Development - Ecommerce Integration - Lightweight Frameworks - Flexible Templates - CMS Integration - WordPress Experts - Maintenance Support [More Info](https://our-agency.co.uk/services/web-development/) ### Web Design ![icon webdesign](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/icon-webdesign.svg) - Strategic Planning - User journey flow - Wire-framing - Modern UI Design - Design Systems - Rapid Prototyping [More Info](https://our-agency.co.uk/services/web-design/) ### Branding ![brand alt](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/brand-alt.svg) - Competitor Analysis - Audience Segmentation - Brand Identity Design - Brand Guidelines Development - Digital Application - Tone of Voice & Messaging [More Info](https://our-agency.co.uk/services/branding/) ### Content Creation ![video alt](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/video-alt.svg) - Video Film/Drone - Photography - Motion Graphics - Art Direction - Copywriting - Social Graphics [More Info](https://our-agency.co.uk/services/content-creation/) ### Web Systems ![icon websystems](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/icon-websystems.svg) - Process Review - Specification Writing - Roadmap and Strategy - Bespoke Development - UI & UX Design - Prototypes and MVPs [More Info](https://our-agency.co.uk/services/web-systems/) ### AI integration ![AI Icon](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/AI-Icon.svg) - Process Review - Strategy & Planning - Workflow Automation - Content & Data Processing - Chatbot & Sales Assistance - Custom AI API Integrations [More Info](https://our-agency.co.uk/services/ai-integration/) ### SEO, GEO & AEO ![icon seoppc](https://our-agency.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/icon-seoppc.svg) - Initial Review - Competitor & Keyword Analysis - On-Page SEO - Technical SEO - AI Visibility Optimisation - AI-Friendly Content - Transparent Monthly Packages [More Info](https://our-agency.co.uk/services/seo-geo-aeo) ### We Are Social [Follow us](https://www.instagram.com/_ouragency) [Rank on page one.
