Ascensor

Web design, development and digital marketing from Holbeck

ascensor.co.uk ↗Founded 2007

Ascensor is a Leeds-based digital agency that has been building and marketing websites since 2007. They combine UX design, web and software development, and performance marketing under one roof, working with clients from start-ups to multi-million-turnover global businesses. Their office sits in Holbeck, at City West Office Park, and they are ISO certified.

What they do

Ascensor designs, builds and markets digital products from their base at Block 1, City West Office Park in Holbeck, Leeds. Founded in 2007, they have spent over 18 years working across web design, web development, custom software, ecommerce, app development and digital marketing — all delivered in-house rather than farmed out.

On the web side, the team builds on Shopify, Webflow and Craft CMS, and handles platform migrations for clients moving from Magento to Shopify or WordPress to Webflow. Their development work spans bespoke software tailored to specific business processes through to full app builds. UX design sits alongside development throughout, with the team using eye-tracking and user research to inform decisions rather than relying on analytics dashboards alone.

The marketing offer covers PPC, SEO, social media, email, content, influencer campaigns and HubSpot CRM work. They also offer GEO — optimising for visibility in AI-generated search results — which reflects where search is heading. LeadInfo integration sits alongside this, helping clients identify anonymous website visitors and convert them into sales conversations.

Strategy services include conversion rate optimisation (CRO), marketing audits and AI solutions. Their stated process runs from data and insight through research, prioritisation, design and development, digital marketing, and then ongoing reporting — a six-stage loop designed to compound results over time.

Clients named in their case studies include YESSS Electrical, Magnet Kitchens, Radar Healthcare, Maritime Capital, Delifresh, Melissa Salons, The Ice Co, Schofield Sweeney, Mix & Twist, Leeds Law Society and The Marlowes shopping centre. Results cited include a 571% conversion rate increase on a Radar Healthcare demo page, 94.4% year-on-year growth in organic traffic for Maritime Capital, and a 267% revenue increase for Luxe by She.

They are ISO certified and registered as Company No. 06428823.

Where they sit in Leeds

Ascensor's office is near Elland Road, with free parking and straightforward access from the M1 — practical for clients coming in from across West Yorkshire. The Holbeck location puts them close to Leeds city centre without the city-centre overheads.

They describe themselves as active in the Leeds district beyond client work, citing apprenticeship programmes, community relationships and CSR activity. The careers page mentions roles including front-end web developer and paid media executive, and the agency says it recruits on values as much as skills. Staff testimonials mention flexible working hours and a lengthy holiday allowance.
