Drop Leg Steppers
Drop Leg Steppers are a reggae band based in Harrogate. They play gigs across the north of England and have supported Toots and the Maytals - one of the most respected acts in reggae history.
About the project
When Lex Valvis got in touch, the band had no website. No place to send fans, no page for promoters to land on, nothing to find in a search.
That gap cost them opportunities they never even knew they were missing. The ones that hurt are the ones you don't see.

Drop Leg Steppers are a reggae band based in Harrogate. They play gigs across the north of England and have supported Toots and the Maytals - one of the most respected acts in reggae history.
The situation
When Lex Valvis got in touch, the band had no website. No place to send fans, no page for promoters to land on, nothing to find in a search.
That gap cost them opportunities they never even knew they were missing. The ones that hurt are the ones you don't see.
How we got started
Lex found me through Allan Smyth at Creao Studio - the owner of the rehearsal room where the band practise. A word of mouth recommendation from someone who already knew my wok.
Andy has gone above and beyond to help me with my band website among other things tech-wise and I’m sure that thanks to the domain name he got for our band website he has landed us a slot supporting one of our biggest influences. Bless Andy.
I built in Tourbox, which links to Spotify and pulls gig dates onto the site automatically. It works on phones and desktops, and it helped with search too.
I built every page with search in mind from day one. The site hit number one on Google the day it launched. Holding that spot takes ongoing work, so I recommended a maintenance plan to keep it there.
The band liked how the site looked and how easy it was to use. New content, a clear menu and solid SEO work. Now the site matches the energy of their gigs.
A Web Designer in Harrogate
This project is one example of the web design work I do for small businesses across Harrogate and beyond. Every site I build comes with fixed pricing agreed upfront, and I stay around after launch so you are never left on your own.
