Website design for Wearside businesses

Web Design Sunderland From £99, Made for the Phone in Your Customer's Hand

Most people in Sunderland will meet your business on a phone first. They might be walking up High Street West, sitting on the grass in Roker Park or waiting for a bus in town. Our web design Sunderland service builds sites for that moment. A single page landing page starts from £99. A small business site is quoted once we know what you need, and most go live in about a week. Our owner, Hamza Shafiq, lives in Durham, about 30 minutes away, so you can meet him face to face.

What £99 gets you

From £99

One off price. Your own domain setup included. Live in about a week.

Where your customers are

Where Will Sunderland See Your Website First?

Sunderland City Council and Boldyn Networks run free outdoor Wi-Fi across the city centre and the coast from Roker to Seaburn, plus Roker Park, Thompson Park and Seaburn Park (Sunderland Smart City). That means lots of people check a business while out and about, on a phone, with a short attention span. Here is what each spot asks of your site.

High Street West and Keel Square shoppers

They are comparing two or three shops in a minute. Your page has to load fast and show a call button without scrolling.

Roker and Seaburn seafront visitors

A family on the promenade wants to know one thing: are you open, and how do we get there? Put opening times, a map link and parking notes at the top.

Thompson Park and Seaburn Park parents

One hand is on a pushchair. Booking must work with one thumb, in two or three taps, with no long forms.

City Campus students

Students near the University of Sunderland want clear prices on the page. A price list hidden in a PDF loses them.

People new to the internet

Some visitors are using free Wi-Fi at a community hub for the first time. Big text, plain words and clear buttons help them trust you.

Designed for everyone in town

Built for Every Reader, Not Just the Tech Savvy

Council research found that 1 in 3 people in Sunderland have never been online or lack basic digital skills (Boldyn Networks). That is a lot of possible customers who get lost on a busy page.

So every site we build follows a few simple rules:

This also helps you meet UK accessibility guidance, and Google rewards pages that are easy to use.

Pick the right size

What Kind of Site Does Your Business Need?

A one page site

Best for a plumber in Pallion, a mobile hairdresser or a stall at the Minster craft fair. One page covers what you do, where you work and how to get in touch. From £99.

A small business site

Best for a salon in Sunniside, a café on Holmeside or a firm on Doxford Park. You get separate pages for each service, so Google can show the right page to the right search. Quoted after a short chat.

An online shop

Best for makers and shops that want to sell beyond town. We build on WooCommerce or Shopify, and you manage your own stock and orders. Quoted on the number of products and features.

Questions Sunderland Owners Ask

Local prices we found run from about £595 to £5,500 for a small business site. Our single page landing page starts from £99. Bigger sites get a fixed quote after a short chat, so you know the full cost before we start. There are no surprise fees at launch.

In the UK, a 5 page site from an agency often costs £1,500 to £3,500. The price depends on who writes the words, whether you need booking or payments, and how much design work is involved. We quote a 5 page site on your actual needs, not a package.

Yes. Google, maps and AI tools still send people to websites to check prices, hours and reviews. A social media page alone can vanish if the platform changes its rules. Your own site is the one place online you fully control, and it works for you day and night.

It means a visitor should know what you do within about three seconds of the page loading. If they cannot, many leave. That is why we put your service, your area and a call button right at the top, and why we keep pages fast on mobile data.

A freelancer is often cheaper but may have limited time for changes later. An agency costs more and can feel slow. We sit in between: a small team with fixed prices, an owner you can meet, and builds that usually take about a week.

Free builders exist, but you often pay later for your own domain, removing adverts or extra pages. They can also load slowly. If money is tight, our £99 landing page gives you your own domain setup and a fast, simple page you can grow later.

Yes. We use large text, short menus, plain labels and big buttons. We avoid pop ups and hidden menus. This helps older customers and anyone new to the internet, and it makes the site easier for everyone, including busy people on a phone.

Yes. The domain is registered in your name, and you get the login details for your site. If you ever move to another provider, you take your site and domain with you. We think that is simply fair.

Yes. Our owner, Hamza, lives in Durham and can meet you in Sunderland or at your business. If you prefer, we can talk by phone or video instead. Call +44 7474 277315 to arrange a time.
