Websites, local SEO and practical automation for small businesses across Tyne and Wear, County Durham, Northumberland and Teesside. One local person from the first call to launch, one fixed quote, and a site built to get you found by customers nearby.
Free first call. No obligation. A reply within one working day.
Bespoke Building and Maintenance NE does big refurbishment and property work. Its customers are landlords, developers and homeowners, and every one of them wants the same thing before they pick up the phone: proof that the firm can handle a job their size.
So the website we built puts the work first. Each service area has its own page, the project photos do the talking, accreditations like Constructionline are in plain sight, and there’s one clear route to ask for a quote. Nothing clever. Just the answers a careful customer is looking for, in the order they look for them.
Most small businesses in the North East don’t need a huge website. They need one that shows up when someone nearby searches for what they do, makes it easy to get in touch, and doesn’t leave the owner chasing every enquiry by hand at night.

We work with small businesses in Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, North and South Tyneside, Durham, Darlington, Northumberland and Teesside, plus clients elsewhere in the UK.
Most projects run over video calls. When it’s useful to sit down together, to plan the site or take photos of your work, we’re close by.
For a local business, the most valuable searches have a place name or “near me” in them. Those results depend on your website and your Google Business Profile, and the North East has a few quirks worth knowing.
Our guide to website design for small businesses covers the rest of what a good site needs.
We also have a dedicated page for website design in Newcastle and website design in Durham.
Prices here are broadly in line with the rest of the UK outside London. There’s a full breakdown of UK website costs on our website design page, including the costs people usually forget.
