Web design & SEO services in Whitley Bay

From clean brochure sites to more complex custom builds, I can create websites that reflect the quality of your work. I don't do "off-the-shelf" clones; I take the time to understand your business and your customers here in the North East. The result is a fast, mobile-friendly, and elegant website that helps you stand out from the competition.

Nearly 44% of websites are built using WordPress, one of the world’s leading software platforms for building websites. It allows you to edit every aspect of your website through an easy to use interface (like a Word doc).

Not every business needs a complex, expensive system. I specialize in building sleek, effective websites using Google Sites. They are incredibly easy for you to update yourself—if you can use Google Docs, you can use these. Best of all? There are no monthly hosting fees, making this the most cost-effective way for local startups and small firms to get a professional presence online.

SEO is a critical facet of your website’s performance. People use computers, mobile devices and even voice assistants to search for products and services, and your website needs to be optimised for them all. Quite often design choices are driven by aesthetics, not SEO. I’ll explain the factors we need to consider to make sure your website structure and content follow Google best practice, to enhance your findability for all types of search.

Website performance is an important factor for both user experience and Google’s indexing algorithm. To get it right, your website needs performant from the start and not something you deal with afterwards. If you’re using sitebuilder software make sure you have sufficient optimisation control to make the changes you need.

If you need a professional website yesterday, my ready-made solutions are the answer. These are pre-built, high-quality sites designed for specific industries. I handle the entire setup, add your branding, and hand you the keys. It’s the fastest way to get a polished, "always-on" public face for your business without the long development wait.

Perfect for startups, freelancers, or specific local promotions. A one-page website gives your customers exactly what they need—your services, your story, and how to contact you—all in one seamless, scrolling experience. It’s simple, effective, and keeps your visitors focused on taking action without getting lost in complex menus.

A beautiful website is only useful if people can find it. I help Whitley Bay and North Tyneside businesses climb the Google rankings using honest, straightforward strategies. I focus on "Local SEO"—making sure you show up when someone nearby searches for your services. No confusing jargon or empty promises, just practical steps to boost your visibility.

Content is really, really important when it comes to your website. It must be well structured, well written, and clear. There’s nothing worse than poorly written content and it will reflect on your brand and business. (Check a few of the other Whitley Bay developer websites! 😉)

Not sure why your site is slow, or why it’s not appearing on Google? My Website health check is a deep dive into your current site’s performance. I’ll look under the hood at your speed, security, and mobile usability, and give you a plain-English report on what’s working and what needs a quick fix.
