This includes everything from strategic planning and visual design to technical development and local SEO optimisation.

Web design investment varies based on your specific requirements, number of pages, functionality needed, and business complexity. My packages start from £1,500 plus monthly upkeep from £20. Key price factors include custom design work, number of pages, eCommerce features, integrations, and ongoing support levels. I offer flexible payment options including paying outright, in 3 instalments, or monthly plans to suit your cash flow.
Most websites take 3-8 weeks from start to launch, depending on complexity and features required. The process includes discovery and planning, design concepts with feedback rounds, development and testing, then final launch. I provide clear timelines upfront and keep you updated at every milestone. Larger eCommerce sites or complex functionality may take longer, but I’ll give you realistic expectations from our first conversation.
My web design service includes everything needed for a successful online presence: custom visual design tailored to your brand, responsive development that works on all devices, SEO optimisation for search visibility, security setup with firewalls and backups, performance optimisation for fast loading, content migration if needed, training so you can manage updates, and ongoing support.

Yes — I focus on fast loads and Core Web Vitals, with a formal pre-launch review. I use advanced caching, image optimisation, and clean code. Every site is built mobile-first, meaning it’s designed for phones first then enhanced for larger screens. This supports strong performance across devices and helps your search rankings.
I recommend WordPress for most North Tyneside small businesses because it offers the perfect balance of flexibility, security, and ease of use. It’s SEO-friendly out of the box, allows you to update content easily without technical knowledge, and can grow with your business whether you need a simple brochure site now or eCommerce functionality later. Plus, there’s excellent long-term support and a huge ecosystem of quality plugins.
Yes, I take care of everything technical. Your site gets hosted on premium WPX servers for excellent performance, protected with robust security including firewalls and malware scanning, backed up automatically every day, and maintained with regular updates and monitoring. Monthly maintenance packages ensure your site stays secure, fast, and working perfectly without you having to worry about the technical details.
DIY website builders seem tempting, but they often create slow, generic-looking sites that don’t convert visitors effectively. As a professional, I bring expertise in user psychology, conversion optimisation, SEO best practices, security implementation, and performance optimisation that years of experience have taught me. Plus you get ongoing support, training, and maintenance so your site remains effective long-term rather than becoming a liability.
