Quality Websites.

I started designimp.com after noticing the same problem everywhere: small businesses doing brilliant work, held back by a website that didn't do them justice. I wanted to fix that.

The name is a nod to the Lincoln Imp — a medieval stone carving in Lincoln Cathedral and a symbol of the city I'm from. Mischievous, distinctive, and built to last.

I help small and medium businesses dramatically increase their online presence and credibility through high quality, modern websites built with the latest design and technology.

Every project runs on a fixed-price, fixed-scope model. Before we start, you know exactly what you're getting, what it costs, and when it'll be done. No surprises, no scope creep, no mystery invoices.

There are no account managers or handoffs. You work directly with me from the first call to launch day — and I'm still on hand after. That direct line is what keeps quality high and timelines short.

The person behind the work.

I believe every business deserves a website it can be proud of — and I built designimp.com to make that happen.

Rob Doughty

Founder

I started designimp.com in 2026 after working with a local boutique beauty salon and watching their business change completely once they had a website that actually reflected how good they were.

It made me realise how many great businesses are being held back by websites that don't do them justice. That's what designimp.com is here to fix.

Every client works directly with me from the first call to launch. No account managers, no handoffs, no surprises.
