Web Design Newcastle

Are you looking for professional web design in Newcastle that does more than simply look good? Blue Shark has been designing and building websites from our Newcastle upon Tyne studio since 2001 — one of the longest-running web design agencies in the North East.

Over that time we’ve built hundreds of websites for small and medium-sized businesses across a huge range of sectors, including restaurants, letting agents and property businesses, recruitment agencies and eCommerce retailers. That range matters: we’ve seen web design trends come and go, and we know the difference between what’s fashionable and what actually gets a small business more enquiries.

We specialise in WordPress, one of the most flexible and widely-supported content management systems available, which means you’re never locked into a proprietary platform or dependent on one agency to make basic changes.

Why choose Blue Shark for web design in Newcastle?

Your website is often the first meaningful interaction somebody has with your business. It needs to make the right impression quickly — and it needs to keep working for you long after launch.

Website redesign in Newcastle

Already have a website but feel like it no longer represents your business?

A website redesign can transform an outdated online presence without losing what already works. It’s one of the most common projects we take on — most businesses don’t need to start from scratch, they need someone to look at what’s there with fresh eyes.

We’ll review your existing website, identify where its design, structure, usability and performance are holding it back, and build a refreshed website that better reflects where your business is today.

If search visibility matters to you — and for most small businesses it does — we’ll factor SEO into the redesign process from the start, so you don’t lose the rankings you’ve already earned while giving yourself stronger foundations to grow from.

Ecommerce web design and development in Newcastle

If you sell products or services online, your website needs to make buying as straightforward as possible.

We primarily build eCommerce websites using WooCommerce, one of the most widely-used and well-supported eCommerce platforms built on WordPress. Where Shopify is a better fit for a client’s specific needs, we can build on that platform too — so you get the right solution for your business, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Whether you’re launching your first online shop or replacing an existing eCommerce website, we’ll build a solution suited to your products, your customers and how your business actually operates day to day.

Built responsive, and built with SEO in mind

Your customers aren’t only visiting your website from a desktop computer, and a great website isn’t much use if nobody can find it in the first place — so both are considered from day one, not bolted on afterwards.

Every website we build works properly across desktop, tablet and mobile — not just resizing to fit, but genuinely adapting so pages stay clear and easy to navigate regardless of screen size. Many sites now attract more mobile traffic than desktop traffic, so we start here with our designs.

Because Blue Shark also specialises in SEO and digital marketing, search visibility is built into the site structure, page content, internal linking and technical foundations while your website is being built. If you want to grow your organic visibility once your site is live, our digital marketing team can also develop an ongoing SEO strategy targeting the searches that matter most to your business.
