Popple Kharlamova

Popple Kharlamova is a branding-led web design and digital studio based in Middlesbrough, Teesside, though the company is listed with an address in Wheldrake, England. The studio describes more than 25 years of experience helping businesses build brands, create digital experiences and grow their online presence. Its core client base is centred on Middlesbrough and the wider Tees Valley, including Stockton-on-Tees, Redcar, Yarm and Hartlepool, but the agency also states it works with clients across the UK and internationally, including businesses in the USA, the Isle of Man, and near a second base in Frankfurt. The agency's stated approach starts with brand strategy — understanding a business's positioning, audience and ambitions — before moving into creative design and web development. Listed web design services include bespoke website design, WordPress design and development, eCommerce builds on Shopify and WooCommerce, website redesigns, mobile-first responsive design, website hosting and maintenance, website copywriting, and SEO-ready development. Beyond web design, declared services span SEO, branding, advertising, content marketing, pay-per-click, social media marketing, and video production. The studio describes SEO as something built into a website from the outset to support organic traffic growth over time, and positions digital marketing activity as a means of directing the right audiences to the site once built. Work is carried out by a team of 1-10 people, combining brand strategy, creative design, development and marketing under one roof.
