These are the questions we hear most often from small business owners across the North East when they're looking for a web designer. If yours isn't here, just give us a call.
Our small business websites start from £349 for a clean, professional 4-5 page brochure site. A more detailed business website with up to 10 pages, a blog and full local SEO setup typically costs £599. An e-commerce shop with online payments and product management starts from around £949. We'll always give you a fixed price upfront - no hourly rates, no hidden extras and no unexpected charges once we've started.
There are three main things that determine whether your business shows up on Google locally: your website's SEO, your Google Business Profile and local citations. We handle all three. We optimise your website for the search terms your Newcastle customers are actually using, set up and optimise your Google Business Profile so you appear in local map results, and build the local citations that tell Google you're a legitimate North East business. Most clients start seeing measurable improvements within 4-8 weeks.
Most small business websites take 2-4 weeks from the point you've approved the design and provided your content. If you need help with content we can assist with that too. E-commerce shops and sites with custom functionality like booking systems typically take 4-8 weeks. We'll agree a clear timeline with you before we start and keep you updated at every stage - no disappearing acts.
Not at all. While we're based in Newcastle and do most of our work across the North East - covering Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, Middlesbrough, North Tyneside and beyond - we work with clients across the whole of the UK. That said, if you are local, we're always happy to meet in person for an initial chat over a coffee. Many of our clients find it helpful to sit down face-to-face, especially at the start of a project.
Yes - this is something we do regularly. Whether your original web designer has gone quiet, you're paying too much to your current provider or your site simply isn't being looked after properly, we can take it over. We'll review what you've got, flag any issues and set you up on one of our maintenance plans from £49/month, which covers security updates, backups, performance monitoring and any small content changes you need.
A cheap website often looks generic, loads slowly, doesn't work properly on mobile and has no SEO built in - meaning Google can't find it and neither can your customers. A good website is built specifically for your business, loads in under 3 seconds, looks right on every device, is structured so Google can crawl and rank it, and is actually designed to convert visitors into enquiries. Our websites start at £349 and tick all of those boxes - so affordable doesn't have to mean poor quality.
One of the first things people search for is "how much does a website cost?" - so here's the answer, upfront. No quote-on-request mystery pricing, no packages stuffed with things you don't need. Just straightforward prices for work that gets results.
