about fecking creative: a carlisle web design & seo agency that gives a shit
no fluff, no nonsense, just fecking awesome work.
Hi, I’m Stephen, the founder and driving force behind fecking creative – based in Carlisle, Cumbria, UK.
our history: from compute to fecking creative
For over 16 years we served the Carlisle business community as Compute, building and maintaining websites for local companies and charities. As the web evolved and search became central to how people find businesses, it became clear the old name no longer matched the work we were actually doing.
In 2024 we rebranded from Compute to fecking creative. The name changed, but the important parts did not: same founder, same core clients, and the same focus on building fast, search‑friendly sites that genuinely help small businesses grow.
what we do
At fecking creative, we design, rebuild and grow lead‑generating websites for small, owner‑led service businesses – especially local legal firms and other professional services.
Every project starts with understanding your business: your goals, your clients, and your local market. From there, we plan a site that is easy to use, easy to find, and clearly nudges visitors towards getting in touch.
We focus on the parts that actually move the needle for small service firms: clear structure, honest content, fast, mobile‑friendly pages, and solid local SEO so you are visible when people search in your area.
why work with us?
With fecking creative, you get more than “just” a web designer or SEO freelancer. You get a small, specialist team that is genuinely invested in your business’s success.
Because we’re based in Carlisle, Cumbria, we understand how local businesses actually work. Many of our clients are long-term partners who come back to us whenever they need to update their site, improve their SEO, or adapt to changes in search and AI.
Our clients appreciate the personal attention, the honest advice, and the fact that we are always just a quick email away when something needs fixing or improving.
Quality Over Quantity
We believe in delivering high-quality web design and SEO work rather than spreading ourselves too thin. Each site, audit, or SEO project gets the time and attention it deserves.
Transparency
No jargon, no hidden fees. We explain what we are doing, why it matters, and what it will cost, so you always know where your website and SEO budget are going.
Continuous Learning
The digital world, search, and AI are constantly evolving. We stay ahead of the curve so we can offer you the latest and most effective web design, SEO, and AI search strategies.
Client-Centric Approach
Your success is our success. We are focused on long‑term relationships, helping clients refine their websites and search performance over time rather than chasing quick wins.
