York Handmade Brick
The TIG team have worked with York Handmade before on printing materials, this time it was to design, develop, and build a new website that caters for the range of products they offer, but on a website that works seamlessly digitally and is visually beautiful. We wanted to elevate their online presence, drive more organic traffic and ensure the website reflected their reputation for quality and tradition, whilst being optimised for modern day users and search engines.
York Handmade Brick is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of traditional, handmade bricks and specials. With a rich heritage rooted in the North Yorkshire countryside, they blend time-honoured craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to create stunning bespoke bricks for projects across the country, from grand architectural builds to sympathetic restoration work.
York Handmade Brick wanted a website that did justice to the quality and uniqueness of their product. It needed to showcase their extensive brick range, their craftsmanship, and the prestigious projects they’ve contributed to, including work for Oxford and Cambridge Universities, as well as the Shard.
TIG designed and built a clean, easy-to-navigate website that put their bricks centre stage. We focused on large, impactful visuals, clear product filtering, and added plenty of space for detailed product specifications, case studies, and inspiration. All built with SEO best practices to drive organic traffic and support ongoing visibility, and works responsively across all devices.
“We were absolutely delighted with the website TIG built for York Handmade Brick. From the initial consultation to the final launch, the process was smooth, collaborative, and highly professional. TIG took the time to understand our brand, values, and the uniqueness of our products, translating that into a visually striking and user-friendly website that truly reflects who we are.
The build itself was seamless. Their team delivered a site that not only looks fantastic but performs brilliantly across devices. They incorporated all the features we needed – from an engaging project gallery to a robust product showcase – and made content management simple and intuitive for our team. They were always responsive and proactive, ensuring that deadlines were met and any adjustments were handled quickly and effectively.
Since the launch, we’ve seen a marked increase in both web traffic and customer enquiries. The improved structure and SEO-friendliness of the site have helped us reach a wider audience, while the elegant design has elevated our brand image.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend TIG to any business looking for a well-crafted, results-driven website. Their blend of technical skill, design flair, and client-focused service made the experience a real success.”
