We are a web design and local SEO business based in North Shields. We build fast, mobile first websites for the trades, clinics, venues and shops that keep the North East running, then help them get found on Google rather than buried on page four.
Every project starts with a conversation about your business and the customers you want more of. The design, the build and the SEO are then planned together, so the site is made to be found from the day it launches.
I have been building websites for over 20 years and founded NE1 in 2018. Since then I have designed and looked after more than 260 websites for businesses across Newcastle, North Tyneside and the wider North East.
You deal directly with me from the first conversation through to launch and ongoing support. No account managers, no handovers between departments, and no being passed around when something needs fixing.
Away from client work I am involved with business development organisations across the region, including the North Tyneside Business Forum and the North East business awards judging panel.
Every project is quoted to fit your goals, but here is where most start. Tell us what you need and we will give you a fixed price in writing.
A fast, mobile first site with hosting and emails set up, live in as little as 10 days. Or £197 a month on a 12 month minimum term.
The build and the monthly local SEO together, on a 12 month minimum term. The site makes you credible, the SEO gets you found.

Need something different, or a store rather than a brochure site? Ask for a quote and we will shape it around your budget.
Get a free SEO health check. A no obligation look at your rankings, your Google Business Profile and the technical issues holding you back, written in plain English with the quick wins first.
Based in North Shields, working with businesses across the North East and further afield.

The questions businesses ask most before getting started. If yours is not here, just get in touch.
Most brochure websites start from £2,397 as a one off, or £197 a month on a 12 month minimum term, depending on how many pages you need and how much content has to be written. Growth plans that bundle the build with monthly SEO start from £397 a month, on a 12 month minimum term. After a short call you get a fixed price in writing before anything starts.
Most brochure websites are live in as little as 10 days once your deposit is paid and your content is in. Larger sites and online shops take a little longer. The timeline is agreed up front and you see the site on a private staging link as it takes shape.
You work directly with Michael throughout your project, from the first call to launch and any support afterwards. There are no account managers or handovers along the way.
Every build comes with the technical SEO foundations in place. Ranking for competitive local searches and appearing in the Map Pack takes ongoing work, which is what the monthly local SEO plans are for. I will tell you honestly which one your business needs.
Yes. Most clients are in Newcastle, North Tyneside and the wider North East, but I build and look after sites for businesses across the UK and further afield. Everything is handled remotely with calls and a shared staging link.
The site is handed over with everything in your name. Care plans from £69 a month cover hosting, security, daily backups, updates and priority support if you would rather not touch any of it yourself.
Tell me what you are planning and I will come back within one working day with honest advice and a guide price. No tech speak, no sales pitch.
Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. Based at North Tyneside Business Centre, North Shields.
