Autoeight is a Halifax-based studio working with Leeds independents from Headingley to Roundhay. We build custom websites with sales dashboards, CRM sync, automated emails and AI baked in from day one. A real site you own, not another template you rent forever.
Leeds has more competition than anywhere else we cover, which makes the basics matter more, not less. A site that ranks, converts and feeds your systems is the whole game, and all six of our services are available across the city.
A custom build shaped around what Leeds customers type into Google, from the city centre out to Headingley, with technical SEO done properly so the site earns its place.
AI-drafted replies to enquiries, automatic follow-ups and review requests, so a busy Leeds team stops losing evenings to repetitive admin.
We connect your site to HubSpot, Pipedrive or a custom CRM, so every lead gets logged, tagged and chased instead of sitting unread in an inbox.
Custom LMS builds for Leeds training providers, schools and growing teams that need staff onboarding handled properly, without per-seat licence fees.
From the confirmation a customer gets straight after booking to the review request a week later, the whole sequence runs with nobody pressing send. AI can cover the support inbox too.
Sales, jobs and pipeline in a single dashboard, so you find out which side of the business earns its keep instead of guessing.
Leeds trade is spread across its neighbourhoods, and searches follow suit: Headingley, Chapel Allerton, Roundhay, Kirkstall and Horsforth each behave differently from the city centre. We structure your pages around the patches your customers actually search from, whether that's one postcode or the whole city.
Templates are fine for a soft launch. They start to creak the moment Leeds competition heats up. Page speed sags because the platform ships code you'll never use. Ranking for "personal trainer Headingley" or "barber Chapel Allerton" gets harder because the on-page structure is generic. Integrations sit behind paid app stores that quietly stack monthly costs.
You also never own what you've built. The monthly fee runs whether the business is booming or slow, and a year of redesign work doesn't migrate cleanly when you outgrow the platform. For a Leeds business that wants to keep growing past the next twelve months, that's the wrong shape of cost.
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.
We're based in Halifax, half an hour from Leeds city centre. That makes in-person kickoff easy for clients in Headingley, Roundhay, Chapel Allerton, Kirkstall and Horsforth, and out into the wider commuter belt toward Wakefield and Bradford. Remote works just as well for clients further afield.
Both, and the automation is usually where the value is. We wire in AI-drafted enquiry replies, automatic follow-ups, review requests and CRM sync, so the site does the chasing that normally eats your week. Design gets you found; the automation turns visits into booked work.
Sales dashboards, CRM sync with HubSpot or Pipedrive, Stripe payments, automated order confirmation and review request emails, AI-drafted enquiry replies, booking systems, stock tools, customer portals, lead scoring, and live chat. Anything that touches a form, an order, or a customer can be wired up.
Templates can only take you so far. You own the custom Leeds site we build, you don't pay forever to rent a template. Integrations run server-side, pages load fast, local SEO is set up properly, and the admin area is built for your workflow rather than a generic dashboard.
