Hull and East Yorkshire
Web design, web development and SEO in Hull
Your Ikigai is a software studio that works from Hull. We build web applications that run businesses, the mobile apps and websites around them, and the brands that go with them. Many of our clients are in Hull and East Yorkshire, we are in London regularly, and the rest are wherever a good conversation and a decent brew can reach over Teams.
We work AI-first, which means senior developers building with AI in the loop, reviewed by people who know what good looks like. Our core team is led by engineers with over 20 years in software, and we bring in vetted developers from our bench when a project needs more hands. We take on a small number of builds at a time, so the people who scope your project build it.
What we do
For Hull businesses that want to look sharp and get found
Web design and development
Fast, accessible websites built for search from day one, on a CMS your own team can edit. Nuxt or Laravel, your choice.
SEO in Hull
Technical SEO, content planned around what your customers actually search, and honest reporting. No green-arrow PDFs.
Branding
Logo, colours, type and tone of voice from Lyndsay, built to become a website without the usual month of translation.
Local work
Built in Hull, for Hull
Fuller Health & Medical on Princes Avenue runs on a clinic platform we built from the brand up: website, online booking, encrypted patient portal and the admin the team uses every day. We built bespoke manufacturing software for J&CR Wood. St John's Bransholme has a website its congregation can actually update. And we have built for parking companies, energy consultants and print shops across the region.
If you would rather meet in person than on a call, that is fine by us. The kettle is on.

Good questions
Things Hull businesses ask us
Straight answers, no small print.
No. Hull is where we work from and where many of our clients are, we are in London regularly, and we work with companies across the UK. Everything we do works just as well over Teams.
Everything we build is bespoke, so every quote is too. A recent full design and build came in around £7,500 + VAT, fixed and agreed up front. Smaller sites cost less; tell us what you need and we will be straight with you.
Yes. We start with an honest audit of where you are and what is realistic, then fix the technical foundations and plan content around the searches that would actually bring you customers.
Local, senior, honest
