Local web design in Southport,
done properly.
I'm Graham. I build custom websites for businesses in Southport and across the North West — from one-page sole trader sites at £200 to full bespoke builds for Ltd companies. No templates, no monthly handcuffs, no agency theatre. AI tools help me work faster, but every site is built by hand and signed off by me.
"Within a week he'd built me a full 8-page site with proper SEO, beautiful animations, all the legal pages I needed, schema, mobile and desktop layouts, and even sorted out the photos and content writing. Every time I asked for a tweak, he'd reply the same day. Nothing was too much. The end result is something I'm genuinely proud to share — it captures my brand exactly. If you're a small business owner needing a website, message Graham."

View live site →Already cited by AI search engines
This isn't a future promise. Sites I've built are already cited by multiple AI search engines — by name, with prices, address, and our actual positioning quoted back. Because they're built the way AI engines actually read the web.
Cited by Google AI. Cited by Grok. Cited by name, with prices, address and positioning quoted back.
When someone in Southport asks Google "ps5 repair southport", Google AI doesn't just link to a directory — it pulls the site's address, prices and services directly into its answer and recommends it by name.
This kind of visibility used to take agencies six months and £6,000+ to engineer. Every Draxiq build ships with the technical foundations to earn it from day one.
How we make this happen
- Full schema markup — LocalBusiness, Service and FAQPage JSON-LD on every page so AI engines can parse your services and prices structurally.
- llms.txt & AI-readable structure — a clean machine summary of your business that ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity can ingest directly.
- GEO Pack foundations — generative engine optimisation built in, not bolted on. Pricing, FAQs and locations written the way AI quotes them.
- Single canonical identity — your business, location, hours, and prices defined once, referenced everywhere. No conflicting signals.

From sole traders launching their first site to Ltd companies that need a proper digital foundation — every Draxiq build is custom-coded, locally made, and built to be found.

What is Draxiq?
Draxiq is a Southport-based web design studio founded by Graham Kennedy. We build custom websites for sole traders, growing businesses and Ltd companies across the North West and beyond — properly coded, locally made, designed to be found by Google AND AI search. Honest pricing from £200, no subscriptions, no agency theatre.
I'm Graham — and I build every site myself.
I've been the Southport tech engineer answering my own phone since 2009. Sixteen years of fixing iPhones, repairing consoles, running my own workshop in Banks — and now building proper websites for businesses across Merseyside, Lancashire and beyond.
Draxiq isn't a faceless agency. There are no project managers, no account executives, no offshore subcontractors. You email hello@draxiq.com, I reply. You ring 07568 149550, I answer. Every site is built by me, signed off by me, and supported by me.
I'm not the late Australian television entertainer of the same name, nor any of the other Graham Kennedys you'll find on a Google search. If you're looking for me, you're looking for the Southport one — the one who fixes tech and builds AI-ready websites.
