Yes — Scalesites builds websites for Newcastle trades and local businesses. Scale Start is £45 a month and Scale Up is £79 a month, with £0 upfront and no VAT to add. Each site is set up for local SEO so you show up when people in Newcastle search, and it is live in about two weeks.

Websites for Newcastle trades

Newcastle and the wider Tyneside area combine a large stock of older terraced housing with steady new development, giving local trades both repair work and fit-out work. Tyneside trades often cover both sides of the river and out towards Northumberland, and customers searching from Gateshead or North Shields will not assume a "Newcastle" business travels to them. Saying so explicitly wins enquiries that would otherwise go elsewhere.

We build professional, mobile-first sites for trades and local service businesses across Newcastle — nothing to pay upfront, live in about two weeks, and you own the site and domain outright. You see a free preview before you pay a penny.

Built to get found in Newcastle

Every site is set up for local SEO targeting your trade and Newcastle, and connected to your Google Business Profile — so you are positioned to show up when locals search. We can target nearby areas too, including Gateshead, North Shields, Wallsend and Sunderland.

What Newcastle trades get called for most

The work below comes up again and again in Newcastle. If it is the work you want more of, it belongs on your services page in the words customers actually use.

How people search in Newcastle

Tyneside searchers add their own town far more often than the city name — 'plumber Whitley Bay', not 'plumber Newcastle'. A site that only says Newcastle is invisible to a large share of its own market, which is why the named-area list does most of the work here.

Frequently asked questions

I cover both sides of the Tyne — how do I show that without looking vague?

+

By naming the places rather than saying "the North East". A page that lists Gateshead, Wallsend, North Shields and Whitley Bay reads as a real, specific service area; "we cover the North East" reads as a business that might be two hours away. We build the named list into both the site and your Google Business Profile so the two agree.

Is 'Newcastle' the right word to build the site around?

+

Partly. It is the term with the most volume, so it belongs on the page, but a lot of the actual work comes from people searching their own town. We build both: Newcastle as the headline, and Gateshead, Wallsend, North Shields and Whitley Bay named through the copy and in your Google Business Profile so you appear for the smaller, easier searches too.

How much does a website cost for a Newcastle business?

+

Scale Start is £45 a month and Scale Up is £79 a month, with nothing to pay upfront. We are not VAT-registered, so there is no VAT to add — the price you see is the price you pay. Both plans run on a 12-month minimum term and then continue month to month.

How quickly can a Newcastle business get a site live?

+

You get a free preview within 48 hours and the finished site is live within about two weeks. Nothing is charged before you have seen the preview and approved it.

Which areas around Newcastle do you cover?

+

We build for businesses across Newcastle and the surrounding area, including Gateshead, North Shields, Wallsend, Whitley Bay and Sunderland. The site and your Google Business Profile are set up for the areas you actually work in.

Do I own the website?

+

Yes — the domain, the site and the content are yours. The 12-month minimum term is what lets us build and manage the site with £0 upfront, and you see the full price and term before anything is built.
