Independents and local trades
Middle Street and the town centre support independents and trades that rely on local custom and accurate Google profiles.
We design fast, mobile-first websites for Consett businesses, from Middle Street independents and Derwent Walk cyclists’ cafés to engineering firms, trades and professional practices in north-west Durham, built to rank on Google and show up in AI search. The work is done remotely, with a designer you deal with directly.
