Featured Project
A clearer route to support for victims of crime
For Durham PCC we designed and built the Victim Care & Mentor Service website, 15+ pages that help people affected by crime across County Durham and Darlington find support, understand their rights and refer themselves.
Referrals now go straight into the service, and the Victims’ Code, court guidance and a resource library answer common questions without a phone call.

Web design in Durham FAQs
Straight answers for Durham businesses on process, pricing, timelines and working with Dove Design.
01Have you built websites for organisations in Durham?
Yes. Our Durham work includes the Durham Police and Crime Commissioner website, the Victim Care & Mentor Service website for Durham PCC and a community engagement site for Durham Police. You can read each case study on our Work page.
02Do you offer web design in Durham?
Yes. Dove Design Ltd designs and builds websites for businesses in Durham and Gilesgate, Newton Hall, Neville’s Cross, Pity Me and the wider county. We are a County Durham web design agency serving city-centre practices, visitor businesses, university-adjacent services and independents across County Durham. Every site is enquiry-led, built to generate calls, bookings and contact-form leads, not just to look the part.
03How much does a website cost for a Durham business?
For Durham businesses, a small site of up to 3 pages is £800 to £1,200. Foundation websites, up to 5 pages for trades and local services, start from £2,500. Growth websites, 8 to 10 pages with a CMS, start from £3,750. Hosting is £20 a month. We scope around your goals rather than charging per page. See our Pricing page for the full guide.
04Can I meet Dove Design in person in Durham?
Yes. Dove Design Ltd is based in County Durham, so meeting in Durham is straightforward. We also work by video call if that’s easier. Discovery, design reviews and launch can all happen remotely or in person.
05Will a new website help my Durham business show up on Google?
Yes, if it’s built for it. We structure Durham websites with clear service pages, fast mobile performance and on-page SEO so you can rank for the searches your customers actually use (including nearby searches from Gilesgate, Newton Hall, Neville’s Cross, Pity Me and the wider county). Technical SEO is part of every build, not an add-on.
06How long does it take to build a website for a company in Durham?
Most small-business websites for Durham clients take 3–6 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on content and how quickly feedback comes back. A single landing page can be faster; a larger CMS or multi-location site for County Durham takes longer. We agree a timeline before we start.
