About anchor web services
Real-world experience, mixed with modern web and creative work.
Who I am
I’m Dean, based in Bishop Auckland. I’ve spent around 20 years working in local government roles covering business compliance, environmental enforcement, community safety and digital processes.
That’s meant working directly with traders, venues, shops and services – helping them meet standards, explain things to customers, and keep everything running.
Now I use that experience to build websites, systems and artwork that actually support the way you work, not just look nice in a portfolio.
Anchor Web Services
Dean Hall · Owner
I like keeping things simple but sharp – gold and black, clean lines, and tools that feel straightforward rather than stressful. If you’ve got an idea or problem, I’m happy to talk it through and see what’s realistic.
- Used to working with small independents & local businesses.
- Comfortable with both digital and in-person support.
- Happy to start small and build up as you grow.

Under the hood & support
What sits behind your website – and the extra support that helps your business run.
Your website, line by line
Behind the gold and black design is clean, readable code that can be updated and
extended as your business changes. Here’s a peek at the sort of thing running
under the bonnet.
Business tools & documents
Because of my background in local government and compliance, I can also help with
the “paperwork side” of running a business – not just the website.
I can support with:
- Business plans and simple business cases
- Policy documents, procedures and checklists
- Licensing, compliance and local authority navigation
- Staff guidance, training materials and basic contracts/templates
Let’s have a chat
No pressure, no hard sell – just a straightforward conversation about what you need.
How it usually works
1. You tell me roughly what you’re thinking – website, ordering system, artwork, digital menus, or a mix.
2. I come back with a simple plan and a clear price. If you’re happy, I crack on.
3. I send you a first draft to check. We tweak anything you’d like changed.
4. Once you’re happy, we put it live and I show you how to use it.
You can contact me by email, message, or using the form here:
(Or if you see me in town, I’m always happy to talk ideas in person.)
