Web design for businesses in Carlisle
Carlisle is Cumbria's commercial hub. Whether you're running a professional services firm near the Cathedral Quarter, a retailer on Botchergate, or a hospitality business serving visitors at the start of Hadrian's Wall, your website needs to work as hard as you do.
We're Core Media Design, and we're based just down the A6 in Penrith. Close enough to meet in person when it matters — and experienced enough to build websites that genuinely bring in business.
What we build for Carlisle businesses
We work with small and medium-sized businesses across the city. That includes brochure websites for professional firms, e-commerce stores for independent retailers, and custom builds for businesses with specific requirements that off-the-shelf solutions can't handle.
Every site we build is designed around what your customers actually need: clear navigation, fast load times, strong calls to action, and content that gives search engines a reason to show your site ahead of the competition.
Why local matters
There's no shortage of web agencies out there, and plenty of them are happy to work remotely from the other end of the country. That can work — but there's a real advantage in working with someone who understands the Cumbrian market.
We know the rhythm of a border city that serves both a local population and a constant flow of tourists. We know that Carlisle businesses compete differently to those in Newcastle or Manchester. And we build websites with that context in mind.
How we work
Every project starts with a proper conversation. We want to understand your goals, your audience, and what isn't working with your current site. From there, we handle design, development, SEO, and launch — personally. No account managers, no handoffs.
Sebastian, Core Media Design's founder, works on every project from start to finish. That's been the approach for over 20 years, and it's why clients stay with us.
