Website design · Newcastle & the North East

a website worth the visit.

We design, build and host websites for local businesses. Quick on a phone, clear about what you do, and put live for you with the hosting sorted.

What's included

designed, built and put live for you.

You tell us about the business. We handle the design, the build and getting it online, so there's nothing technical for you to sort out.

Design

Made around your brand

Your colours, your logo and your photos, laid out so a customer can see what you do and how to book within a few seconds.

Build

Mobile first

Most of your visitors will be on a phone. Every page is built for that screen first, and loads fast on it.

Hosting

Live and looked after

We put the site live on your domain and look after the hosting, so it stays up without you thinking about it.

Video

Pairs with your content

Already filming with us? Your short-form videos can sit right on the site, so visitors see the same energy as your socials.

Case study

from old site to new site.

A full rebuild for a Newcastle short-let business: what they needed, what we built, and what changed.

A Squarespace template doing two jobs at once

  • No dates, prices or availability. Guests had to go through the contact page to book.
  • Everything else hidden behind one Services dropdown.
  • Template placeholder text left live on the listings: "Entire home in [Jesmond]".
  • Landlord pages in the menu, but nothing on fees, process or what management covers.
  • One generic "why book with us" section for every kind of visitor.

The brief

Newcastle Stays rents out whole homes to guests and manages properties for landlords. Their old site tried to serve both on one page, so guests couldn't book easily and landlords couldn't see what they'd be signing up for.

They wanted a site that takes bookings for guests, wins management contracts from property investors, and shows off the homes properly.

Booking
A search bar on the homepage for location, dates and guests, plus a quick picker to jump straight to any property.
Landlords
A dedicated landlords page with an earnings estimate, a free meeting booking and the full process from first meeting to fully booked. A separate Airbnb management page covers pricing, cleaning, guest vetting and monthly statements.
Business stays
A page for contractors, visiting professionals, relocations and insurance stays, showing the homes with space to work and park.
Properties & areas
Six property pages with full photo galleries, and area guides for Jesmond, Gosforth, Ashington and County Durham.

How it works

four steps to going live.

You'll see the design before anything is built, and sign it off before it goes public.

  1. Step 01

    brief

    A chat about your business, your customers and what the site needs to do for you.

  2. Step 02

    design

    We mock up the pages in your branding and tweak them until you're happy.

  3. Step 03

    build

    We build the site, test it on phones and computers, and send you a preview link.

  4. Step 04

    launch

    Once you sign it off, we put it live on your domain and look after the hosting.

Get in touch
