Autoeight is a Halifax web studio serving Dewsbury, Batley, Heckmondwike and the rest of the Heavy Woollen towns. Custom sites with quote forms, bookings, CRM sync and automated follow-ups working from day one. No rented template, no monthly platform fee, and a builder close enough to meet you at your premises.
Work round here starts with a phone search, and the firm with the sharper site gets the call. These are the six things we build to make sure that firm is yours.
Hand-built pages that load quickly on a phone and rank for the trades and towns you cover, so the late-night search finds you before your rivals.
Instant AI-drafted replies to quote requests, automatic reminders and review chasing, all running while you're still on the tools.
Website, inbox and CRM wired together so each lead sits in a simple pipeline you can check from the van, not a pile of unread emails.
A custom LMS for firms that need staff inductions and training records kept properly, on a platform that belongs to you.
Order and booking confirmations, requests for reviews, and follow-up sequences that keep in touch with leads, all sent automatically. AI can answer the support inbox as well.
We wire your sales and job data into a single dashboard, and the reports write themselves, so working out where the profit comes from stops being guesswork.
The Heavy Woollen District trades as one patch: customers cross between Dewsbury, Batley, Heckmondwike and Mirfield without thinking about it, and the market still anchors the town centre. We structure your site around every town you serve, so the whole district can find you rather than just your own postcode.
Plenty of local firms have a Wix or Squarespace page someone's nephew set up years back. It exists, and that's the kindest thing you can say about it. The platform drags page speed down, the search structure is the same as a florist in Florida, and every useful feature costs another bolt-on app with its own subscription. Ranking for "roofer Dewsbury" or "MOT Batley" against a properly built competitor site is an uphill fight you didn't need to pick.
There's also the ownership question. Rent a template for a decade and you've spent real money on something you can never sell, move or keep. We build sites our clients own outright. Pay for it once, and it's yours the same way your van is.
Halifax and Dewsbury are near neighbours, so this isn't a relationship run through a ticketing system. We'll come to you for the kickoff, look at how the work actually flows through your business, and build the site around that. When something needs changing mid-build, you tell us in plain English and we sort it, no account manager in between.
First call is free. If we don't think a new site will move the needle for you, we'll say so and you've lost nothing but half an hour.
Custom builds from £2,000 for a focused setup. 3 to 12 weeks from kickoff to your site going live. Fixed quote per project, no per-seat licences, no monthly platform fees, no surprise hourly billing. The free call gives you a rough budget.
Yes, plenty of our patch sits this side of the M62. Halifax to Dewsbury is around twenty five minutes, so we'll happily come to your unit, your shop or your office for the first meeting and again during the build. If remote suits you better, that works too.
Yes, and for most businesses round here it should. Customers in the Heavy Woollen towns cross between them constantly, so we build a location page for each town you serve and structure the site so Google understands your full patch, not just your postcode.
Yes, that's the part that actually saves you time. Quote requests get an instant AI-drafted reply, jobs drop into a simple pipeline, and review requests go out once the work is done. You carry on answering the phone like normal while the site handles the paperwork.
The rent, mostly. Those platforms charge monthly forever and you never own anything at the end of it. On top of that the pages are slower than a hand-built site, and the generic structure makes it tougher to rank for searches like joiner Dewsbury or plumber Batley. A custom site is yours for good.
Each of these was designed and built by us.
