Web design in Hexham and the Tyne Valley

Brikd is a Hexham web design studio. We design and hand-build websites for businesses across the Tyne Valley, from town-centre shops and trades to holiday lets and venues along Hadrian's Wall.

Your local web studio

We are based in Hexham, so meeting in person is easy, whether that is at your premises, in town or anywhere along the A69. You deal directly with the person designing and building your site, not an account manager.

Every site is designed for your business and hand-built in fast, accessible code. You get a content system you can edit yourself, technical SEO from day one, and a fixed price agreed before work starts.

Built for Tyne Valley businesses

  • Holiday lets, B&Bs and venues: take direct bookings with deposits and calendar sync, so you rely less on commission-charging booking sites.
  • Independent shops and makers: sell online with an online shop that handles VAT, local collection and UK delivery.
  • Trades and professional services: clear service pages and quote forms that turn local searches into enquiries.
  • Tourism and hospitality: pages that help visitors to Hadrian's Wall and the North Pennines find you, in more than one language if you need it.

Fast on rural connections

Plenty of your customers will visit on a phone with patchy signal in the hills or a slow rural broadband line. We build to a strict performance budget, so pages load quickly even on weak connections. That also helps your Google rankings.

Found in local searches

When someone searches for a business like yours in Hexham, Google looks at your website, your Google Business Profile and your reviews together. We set all three up to work with each other: location-aware structured data, a properly configured profile and a simple way to ask happy customers for reviews. More about our SEO.
