Web, ecommerce & creative support · Hull & East Yorkshire

We help businesses look better online.

We're Angelo and Sophie - a husband-and-wife creative team based in East Yorkshire, combining web development, ecommerce, graphic design and marketing.

We started Hey Creative because we wanted to build something of our own: a small, flexible business that lets us do work we enjoy while giving us the freedom to work around family life.

If you're building a business, improving an existing website or simply need someone you can rely on for the digital stuff, we'd love to help.

Why we started Hey Creative

Two people, a lot of experience, and no agency nonsense.

Between us, we've spent years working across websites, ecommerce, design and marketing. We've worked with small businesses, online retailers and some very large brands.

Hey Creative is our way of bringing that experience to people who don't necessarily need - or want - a big agency.

You deal directly with the people doing the work. No layers of account managers, no unnecessary meetings and no complicated jargon.

Why we're doing this

We wanted to build a business that works for us - and for the people we work with.

Hey Creative came from wanting a different way of working.

We're a small family business, and having the freedom to work from home and build our own schedule is important to us.

But we also wanted to use the skills we've built over the years to help other small businesses and people who are trying to build something of their own.

We're not trying to become a huge agency. We'd rather work with a smaller number of good people, understand what they're trying to achieve and genuinely care about the work we produce.

Fancy working together?

Tell us what you're working on.

It doesn't need to be a finished plan. Whether you've got a new business idea, an outdated website, an ecommerce problem or simply don't know where to start, send us a message.

We'll have a look, have a chat and see if we can help.
