Web Design Services in Huddersfield

I design, build, optimise and manage WordPress websites for businesses in Huddersfield and across West Yorkshire, combining Web Design, SEO, GEO and Maintenance Services to help strengthen their digital presence and support business growth.

A Reliable, Local Web Designer

Athena Media is an independent Web Design, SEO and GEO studio based in the heart of Huddersfield, working with businesses across Yorkshire.

I work closely with businesses across Huddersfield, West Yorkshire (and beyond!), creating WordPress websites that look good, work properly and help bring in traffic that converts into leads or sales. Every project is approached individually, whether it’s a straightforward website build, an eCommerce store, website hosting or something totally bespoke.

Athena Media was created to offer high-performing web design and ongoing support that is cost-effective, straightforward and focused on getting real results, without all the jargon.

I do what I do for one reason: I genuinely enjoy it, and over the years I’ve built a solid track record of helping businesses improve their websites and grow their digital presence.

I  also look after the wider picture, from website hosting and maintenance through to ongoing SEO and GEO. It means you’ve got one person who understands the website, the business behind it and what you’re trying to achieve online.

Everything Your Website Needs, In One Place

Web Design, SEO, GEO, Hosting and Ongoing Support, all handled in one place at Athena Media in Huddersfield. You get one point of contact who understands the website, the business behind it and the work needed to help people actually find you, convert and keep things moving in the right direction.

Built on Long-Term Relationships

A lot of our work comes from clients who have stayed with Athena Media for years, using us for everything from web design and hosting to SEO, GEO and ongoing support.

That long-term approach matters. We get to know the business, understand what’s working and stay involved as things change, rather than disappearing once the website goes live.

Web Design

Bespoke WordPress websites built around your business, including brochure websites, WooCommerce stores and more tailored builds where something off the shelf just won’t do.

SEO & GEO

Ongoing Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and Generative Engine Optimisation (AI) to improve your visibility across Google, AI search and the places your customers are looking.

Website Maintenance & Support

Ongoing WordPress maintenance, updates, fixes and support to keep your website running properly long after it goes live.

Website Hosting

Fast, secure and fully managed website hosting, with SSL, backups and support handled by Athena Media.

I’ve had an interest in web design since I was 12 and published my first website at 13. As you can probably tell, I wasn’t exactly the cool or sporty kid. I’ve never really looked back since.

Meet Ben Dickinson

Athena Media grew from that early interest into a business helping companies across Huddersfield, Yorkshire and beyond improve how they look and perform online. The aim has always been simple: good web design, SEO, GEO and ongoing support that delivers real value without unnecessary jargon or agency-sized costs.

2009 – 2013

Where it started

Started building websites at around 12 years old and published my first site not long after. What began as a hobby quickly turned into something I knew I wanted to pursue properly.

2013 – 2020

College & University

Studied web design, IT and business before going on to complete a BSc in Web Design at the University of Huddersfield, building up both the technical and commercial side of what I do.

2017 – 2022

Agency life

Started as an apprentice at a local agency and worked my way up to Head Web Developer, managing clients, building websites and taking projects from the initial idea right through to launch and ongoing support.

2022 – Today

How we’ve always done great web design

It’s no secret that we’re not the only web design company out there, and we’ve never pretended to be. What makes Athena Media different is the way that we work with our clients and the fact that we look at the bigger picture. From Web Design and Development through to Search Engine Optimisation, Website Hosting and Ongoing Website Maintenance, everything is approached with the same focus on quality, value and getting results that actually matter to the business.

Not to mention the strong and long-lasting partnerships we hold with our clients. When we say partnership, we mean it. Your business, and especially your website, isn’t just 9 – 5, and neither are we. We’ll call and come visit you at a time that suits you. Or, if you’d prefer you can nip down to the office and we can have a good ol’ chin-wag about anything and everything digital.
