Web Design Northumberland - YOUR
BUSINESS
ONLINE.
Professional websites for local businesses across the North East. Fixed prices, fast delivery, no agency fees.
72% of local businesses are invisible online. That ends here.
Most agencies charge £800–£2,000 for a basic website — before add-ons, retainers, or the lock-in contract. That price pays for their office, their account managers, and their overhead. None of that is yours to pay for.
I work with cafes, builders, boutiques, consultants and every kind of local business that needs a proper online presence without the agency invoice.

Live client sites — each one built for a specific business, never recycled.
What clients
say.
Real businesses. Real results.
Across Northumberland and the North East.
Colin built our site in less than a week and it looks absolutely brilliant. Clean, fast, and exactly what we needed. We’ve already had new enquiries come through it - couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
How it
works.
No jargon. No surprises. A clear journey from first chat to live website.
Tell me about your business. No tech-speak, no pressure, no obligation. Always free.
A clear, fixed-price quote within 24 hours. The price you see is the price you pay.
I design and build your site, sharing progress as I go. Your feedback shapes the result.
Your site goes live. I handle the handover and stay available for anything you need.
BUILT
DIFFERENT.
Most web designers come from a design background. I don’t. Before the websites, there was a career in accountancy, years building and troubleshooting desktop and gaming PCs, and more time than I’ll admit writing Excel macros and SQL queries. What that background gives you is someone who thinks in systems, prices honestly, and doesn’t mystify what they’re doing.
Transparent.
Fixed. Fair.
No quotes that double once work starts. What you see here is what you pay.
One perfectly-built page with everything a local business needs to get found: SEO foundations, contact form, mobile-first design. Ideal if you’re just starting out or testing the water.
Three pages, professionally designed. The ideal first step for businesses with no online presence.
Up to six fully custom pages. The complete package for any local business ready to compete online.
that set you apart.
These optional extras can be added to any package - or purchased as standalone upgrades to an existing site.
Photo Admin
Upload, swap and manage your own photos any time through a simple, password-protected admin panel. No need to contact me. No update charges. Your imagery, your control.
Boost Pack
A deep-dive SEO audit and optimisation session. Keyword research, on-page tuning, schema markup, Google Business Profile setup, and a report showing where you rank and why.
Workflow
When someone submits your contact form, an automated workflow handles the rest - instant confirmation email, CRM entry, and a notification straight to your phone or inbox. Zero admin.
Maintenance
Your site stays fast, secure and up-to-date without you lifting a finger. I handle plugin and platform updates, security monitoring, uptime checks, and minor content edits every month.
Why not just use an agency?
Agencies are great - if you have the budget. Most local businesses don’t. Here’s what you’re actually comparing.
| Typical Agency | Tyne & Type | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry website / landing page | £800–£2,000 | From £249 |
| Monthly maintenance | £100–£300/mo | From £25/mo |
| Delivery time | 6–12 weeks | 7–14 days |
| Lock-in contract | 12–24 months | None |
| Who you speak to | Account manager | Me, directly |
| Satisfaction guarantee | Rarely offered | 100% |
Frequently
asked.
Everything you need to know about affordable web design in Northumberland and the North East.
How much does web design cost in Northumberland?
At Tyne & Type, websites start from £249 for a landing page, £395 for a three-page starter site, and £795 for up to six fully custom pages. All prices are fixed - no quotes that balloon once work starts, and no hidden agency fees. What you see is what you pay.
Can I get a cheap website without it looking cheap?
Absolutely. "Cheap" at Tyne & Type means no agency overhead, no account managers, and no markup on your bill - not a cut-price template job. Every site is custom-built, mobile-first, and designed to look and perform at a professional level. Local businesses across Northumberland and the North East get agency-quality results at a fraction of agency cost.
Do you build custom landing pages in the North East?
Yes - custom landing pages are one of the most popular services. From £249, delivered in 5 days, a landing page gives your business a professional online home with SEO foundations, a contact form, and mobile-first design. It's the fastest way for any North East small business to get online and start appearing in local Google searches.
What areas of Northumberland and the North East do you cover?
Based in Northumberland, Tyne & Type works with businesses across the whole region - Morpeth, Alnwick, Hexham, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Cramlington, Ashington, Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland, and everywhere in between. All work is delivered remotely, so geography is never a barrier. UK-wide projects are welcome too.
Can you redesign or refresh my existing website?
Yes. Website redesigns and refreshes are a core part of the work here. Whether your current site looks dated, loads slowly, isn't mobile-friendly, or simply isn't generating enquiries - a redesign can transform results. Get in touch for a free assessment of what your existing site needs.
Do you build websites for tradespeople and contractors?
Yes - builders, plumbers, electricians, decorators, and other tradespeople are among the most common clients. Most trades rely on word of mouth and miss a huge volume of local search traffic. A simple, professional website from £249 means that when someone in Northumberland Googles "plumber near me", you show up.
How long does it take to build a website?
Landing pages are delivered in 5 days. Starter sites (3 pages) take 7 days. Professional packages (up to 6 pages) are completed in 14 days. Every project shares progress as it's built - no long silences, no surprises at launch.
What SEO is included, and will I appear on Google?
Every website includes SEO foundations: optimised meta titles and descriptions, semantic HTML structure, fast page loading, mobile-first responsive design, and local keyword targeting for Northumberland and the North East. For deeper ranking work - keyword research, Google Business Profile setup, schema markup, and a written report - the SEO Boost Pack add-on is £195.
Is there ongoing support and maintenance after launch?
Every project comes with handover support at launch. Ongoing monthly maintenance - covering security updates, uptime monitoring, and up to 1 hour of content edits per month - is available as an optional add-on from £25/month. No minimum term, cancel any time.
Why choose a freelance web designer over an agency?
Most North East agencies charge £800–£2,000+ for a basic website, then add monthly fees and lock-in contracts on top. Tyne & Type has none of that overhead - no office, no account managers, no layers of markup. You deal directly with one person and get faster delivery, fairer prices, and full accountability from start to finish.
