White-Glove, Not White-Knuckle
Small Business Websites with Big “We’ve Got You” Energy
Bull City Web Design is a boutique digital agency serving businesses who are tired of being treated like a ticket number. Small by design. Effective by reputation.
The best day of Jeremy's life. Jamie's answer may vary. We are choosing to believe otherwise.

The Part Where You Stop Worrying About Your Website. This Is It.
Most of our clients come to us frustrated. They leave wondering why they waited so long. That’s what we mean by “we’ve got you.”
In 1997, Jeremy Simpson sat down in front of a computer and built his first website. The internet was young. Expectations were low. And nobody had yet invented the phrase “mobile responsive.”
A lot has changed since then.
Along the way, Jeremy earned an MBA, built websites for businesses across industries, and learned that great web design is just as much about business strategy as it is about pixels. Search engines got smarter. Websites got more complicated. Customers got a lot less patient.
In 2021, Bull City Web Design was born. Not in a venture-backed office in Silicon Valley. Not in a co-working space with a cold brew tap. In a living room in Durham, North Carolina. Exactly where the best Bull City stories start.
Twenty-eight years of experience. One very decisive living room. Zero outside funding required.
How We Think
We Are Not An Agency.
We Are Your Agency.
There is a particular kind of web design agency that will assign you an account manager, a junior designer, a senior strategist, and possibly a partridge in a pear tree.
You will explain your business once. Then again. Then one more time to someone who just joined the meeting five minutes ago. Your project gets passed from person to person, and your website starts to look like it was designed by committee. Because it was.
Bull City Web Design works differently.
When you reach out, you are talking directly with Jeremy. When you have a question, you get a real answer from someone who knows the project, the strategy, and the reason that button is where it is.
Bull City Web Design runs lean by design: a small, carefully selected team of specialists who know their craft and take your business as seriously as you do.
No unnecessary layers. No mystery handoffs. No account managers playing telephone between you and the people doing the work.
Just experienced hands, direct communication, and a website process that feels clear from day one.
Revolutionary concept, we know.
Bull City Built
Websites for the Businesses That Make Durham Feel Like Durham.
Durham has never been short on personality.
It shows up in the old tobacco buildings, the ballpark lights, the neighborhood shops, and the business owners who somehow manage to do twelve jobs before lunch.
We build websites for those people.
The ones growing something real, serving real customers, and trying to make their online presence feel as good as the work they do in person.
Bull City Web Design brings strategy, design, SEO, hosting, and support together with care, clarity, and just enough humor to keep the process from feeling like a tax form.

The Work
We Build. We Support. You Grow. In That Order. Always.
We Build Websites That Work as Hard as You Do.
Not templates. Not cookie-cutter layouts wearing a nice blazer. We design conversion-focused websites that look polished, load fast, and help turn curious visitors into real leads.
01 Build
We Keep Your Digital Presence in Peak Condition.
Websites are not billboards. They need updates, security, maintenance, and the occasional “why is this doing that?” moment handled by someone who knows where the buttons live.
02 Support
We Make Sure People Can Actually Find You.
Local SEO. Google Business Profile management. Reputation building. The practical, behind-the-scenes work that helps your business show up when customers are ready to choose.

The Work Behind The Work
From National Organizations
To Local Business Owners.
The Standard Never Changes.
Bull City Web Design has had the privilege of working with organizations doing meaningful, high-impact work, including The National Coalition for Eating Disorders and The North Carolina Tic Foundation.
Those projects required clarity, care, accessibility, and a digital presence that could support people searching for help, answers, and trust.
We bring that same level of attention to every project, regardless of size. The local business getting its first website deserves the same strategic thinking as the national nonprofit.
Because whether you are serving a community, growing a company, or trying to make sure the right people can find you, the work deserves to be done well.
The Experience Behind The Work
Twenty-Eight Years. Zero Shortcuts.
Every Client Treated Like the Only One.
Jeremy started building websites in 1997, back when getting a business online was still new, exciting, and only mildly held together by dial-up optimism.
He learned the craft the right way.
Two decades of client work across industries means Jeremy has seen what works, what does not, and what merely looks impressive in a proposal before quietly failing to deliver results.
He brought that experience to Bull City Web Design, along with a small, carefully selected team of specialists who share the same philosophy: do excellent work, communicate clearly, and build websites that help the right people find you, trust you, and take the next step.
The reviews speak for themselves. So do the clients who sent them.

Honest. Reliable.
Occasionally Hilarious.
Honesty First
We believe clients deserve clear answers, even when the answer is not the easiest one. You will always know what we recommend, why it matters, and what we would do if it were our business.
Reliability Without the Drama
When we say we will do something, we do it. When we say it will be ready, we mean it. We communicate clearly, keep the process moving, and avoid the disappearing act that has given web people a suspicious reputation.
We Actually Care How This Turns Out
We are invested in what happens after launch. The calls you get. The leads that come in. The confidence you feel sending people to your website. Pretty matters, but useful wins.
Ready When You Are
Let’s Find Out If We're a Good Fit.
Not every business needs the same kind of website partner, and that is okay. On a free discovery call, we will talk through your goals, your current website, what is working, what is not, and what kind of support would actually make sense.
You will leave with clearer direction, whether we work together or not.
No pressure. No awkward pitch. Just an honest conversation.
