Professional, affordable creative design for growing UK businesses
BDE began more than 20 years ago with a clear mission: to make high quality web design and digital marketing accessible to businesses of all sizes—not just those with large agency budgets. From day one, we believed that great design, effective websites, and dependable digital support should be available to everyone, and we built our agency around the values of fairness, transparency, and long term partnership.
What started as a small creative studio specialising in logo design and branding has grown into a full service web design and digital marketing company supporting organisations across a wide range of industries. Over the years, we’ve expanded our capabilities to include WordPress website design, website management, managed hosting, website care plans, and transparent, upfront pricing for every service we offer. Businesses choose us because we keep things simple: no hidden fees, no confusing packages, and no surprises—just clear pricing, honest communication, and reliable support whenever you need it.
Today, we work with clients who want more than just a website; they want a digital partner who can help them grow sustainably. Our approach combines thoughtful design with cost effective SEO strategies, smart digital marketing, and performance focused website management. Whether you’re looking to build a brand new website, improve an existing one, or increase your visibility through affordable SEO and content driven marketing, we’re here to help you move forward confidently and strategically.
One of the things we’re most proud of is the loyalty of our clients. Many have trusted us since the very beginning, and more than 80% of our work now comes through long standing relationships and direct referrals. This level of trust is earned through consistent results and a service experience that’s professional, dependable, and genuinely friendly. We don’t just build websites—we build partnerships that help our clients succeed long term.
At BDE, our goal is simple: to give businesses the tools, support, and digital strategy they need to grow online—without unnecessary complexity or inflated costs. If you’re looking for a transparent, reliable, and experienced digital team to support your website and marketing goals, you’re in the right place.

Meet Julian Croft – Founder & Creative Lead
After senior roles in the insurance and accident management sectors, Julian decided to trade corporate structure for creativity. In 2005, he founded British Design Experts—now BDE Design—to give entrepreneurs direct access to professional design and marketing support without inflated costs or corporate barriers.
When the agency grew rapidly, Julian refocused in 2016 to return to what mattered most: personal service, strong client relationships, and great results for small businesses. He now leads a talented network of designers, developers, and marketers who share his passion for quality and value.
Outside of work, Julian enjoys spending time with his family, especially his Grand Daughter, cheering on Leeds United, and planning his next trip road trip.
