Canny Commerce

Canny Commerce is a small WordPress web design studio based in Hartlepool, working with established businesses across the North East, Yorkshire, the North West and Cumbria, as well as UK-wide clients more generally. The team focuses on companies whose existing websites look dated, load slowly, or fail to generate enough enquiries, offering a straightforward build process built around clear communication from planning through to launch. With a team of 1-10 people, the agency positions itself as a hands-on studio rather than a large-scale operation, supporting clients with case studies referencing projects for businesses including H Jarvis, VPH Earthworks, Coldtech and Wilson Associates. Services centre on WordPress website design and redesigns, covering planning, page structure, design and launch, with sites built to be easy to manage and geared toward conversion. Ongoing website care and maintenance is offered post-launch, including plugin and theme updates, backups, security checks and small fixes. SEO support covers SEO-friendly website builds, technical improvements and content targeting relevant local searches, with more advanced SEO work handled through a partner network. Content creation services include new page copy, refreshing existing content, and case study or service page writing intended to support SEO goals. The agency also provides secure WordPress hosting, covering performance, backups and technical support for clients who prefer not to manage hosting directly.
