I launched Light Bulb Web Design in April of 2014. We passed our 2nd birthday a few months ago, and a few months later on, we celebrated taking the business full-time to make sure we could continue to grow and focus on our existing and new clients even more than we could before.
As Light Bulb Web Design in Carlisle continues to grow, we still hold to the same principles and beliefs as we did in the beginning - that professional website design should be appropriately and sensible priced, with excellent plain English communication and great ongoing support.
What continues to surprise us is the feedback and comments from our clients, with our own website attracting a number of positive words recently, sometimes citing our own website as the reason for choosing us even when we are competing with other web design companies from across the UK!
Being able to concentrate on the business full-time has been amazing. It has also allowed us to consider the future and what our larger aims are. Networking and talking to other local businesses was definitely something I wanted to find the time for, it is always so inspiring to find success and enthusiasm as well as great advice. Further, it has laid the initial plans for a future business development which will hopefully bring together the expertise of a number of local businesses I have known for many years as well as some I have had the pleasure of meeting more recently.
We frequently get asked about other services which are beyond out own specialisms, and my aim is to have positive links with those I know can deliver such requirements in the same friendly, professional and courteous manner that I offer through Light Bulb Web Design.
It may be a little while away from 'completion' but the underlying principles and beliefs are hopefully set to make a very positive difference to other businesses, both within and outside of Carlisle, Cumbria and even the UK!
Thank you for your support over the past few years, and we look forward to supporting you for many years to come.

Chris is the founder and lead strategist at Light Bulb Web Design, a UK‑based creative agency specialising in psychology‑driven, AI‑ready websites for professional service businesses. From law firms and financial practices to property and consultancy brands, he helps organisations turn underperforming websites into high‑trust, high‑converting digital assets.
With a background rooted in web design, technology, and human‑centred strategy, Chris writes about the real issues holding most websites back; unclear messaging, bloated builds, weak trust signals, and structures that search engines and AI simply can’t interpret. His work blends behavioural insight, technical precision, and a deep understanding of how people make decisions online.
Chris speaks at industry events, sharing practical, no‑nonsense guidance on AI‑aware optimisation, digital trust, and the future of web strategy. When he’s not building or refining websites, he’s exploring the intersection of technology, psychology, and business growth - and helping service‑based brands show up online with clarity, confidence, and credibility.
