Northline Web Studio is a small, friendly web studio based in the UK. We specialise in designing, building and managing modern websites for small and local businesses across the country.
We focus on making the whole process easy: affordable setup costs, straightforward monthly pricing, and clear communication from start to finish. No confusing packages, no hidden fees, no technical jargon – just simple, effective websites that work for your business.
Whether you're a tradesperson, salon owner, personal trainer, or run any kind of local service, we're here to give you a website that looks professional, works perfectly on mobile, and helps you win more customers.
We noticed a pattern: so many brilliant small businesses either had no website at all, a very outdated one that hadn't been touched in years, or were relying entirely on a Facebook page. These businesses were excellent at what they did – whether that was plumbing, hairdressing, personal training or running a café – but their online presence just didn't reflect that.
The problem wasn't that they didn't care. It was that the options available didn't work for them. DIY website builders promised simplicity but turned into weekend-eating frustration sessions. Big agencies charged thousands of pounds and spoke a language that felt deliberately confusing. Both options took too much time, money, or patience.
Northline exists to give small businesses a third option: a simple, affordable, done-for-you website service.
We use modern tools – including AI – to work faster and keep our costs low. But everything is still carefully checked, refined and personalised by a human. You get a website that looks professional and works beautifully, without the big-agency price tag or the DIY headache.
We've designed our process to be as simple and stress-free as possible. Here's what happens from first contact to launch:
We have a brief call or email conversation to understand your business, what you do, and what you need from a website.
We help you gather any existing text, photos and branding, and outline what pages your website needs. Don't worry if you don't have everything ready – we'll guide you.
We design and build your website, then send you a preview link so you can see it and request any changes. We'll refine it until you're happy.
Once you're happy, we put your site live on your domain (or export it for you to host). Build & Host clients get ongoing monthly support and updates.

We specialise in working with small, service-based businesses across the UK. If you're great at your trade but website stuff feels overwhelming, you're exactly who we built Northline for.

If you run a small service-based business and need a website, we can help
You just need to know your own business – what you do, who you help, and what makes you good at it. We'll take care of everything else. That's the whole point of Northline.
These are the principles that guide how we work with every client
We explain things simply and keep you in the loop throughout the process. No confusing technical language, no acronyms you've never heard of. If you don't understand something, that's on us to explain it better.
We keep our pricing straightforward and transparent. No hidden costs, no scope creep, no surprise invoices. Our process is focused and efficient because we know your time is valuable.
We use modern tools and smart workflows to work quickly, but we don't cut corners on the things that matter. Every website is carefully reviewed, tested on mobile, and optimised for search engines.
Especially with Build & Host clients, we're here for the long haul. Need to update your opening hours? Change a photo? Add a new service? We'll take care of it. Your website should grow with your business.

Founder, Northline Web Studio
Hi, I'm Andy, the founder of Northline Web Studio. I started this business because I kept meeting brilliant small business owners with terrible – or non-existent – websites.
These were people who were amazing at what they did. Skilled tradespeople who could fix anything. Hairdressers with loyal clients. Personal trainers who genuinely changed lives. But when I looked at their online presence, it was either completely missing, stuck in 2008, or just a Facebook page that was hard to find.
The problem wasn't that they didn't care. It was that the solutions available didn't work for them. DIY website builders promised simplicity but delivered frustration. Big agencies charged thousands and spoke a language designed to confuse. Both options demanded too much time, money, or patience.
I wanted to create something different: a simple, affordable, done-for-you website service for people who'd rather focus on running their business than wrestling with technology.
The kind of clients I love working with are people who are great at their trade but genuinely don't want to think about websites, SEO, or hosting. You can ask me "basic" questions and I won't make you feel silly – that's the whole point. You focus on what you're good at, and I'll take care of this bit.
If that sounds like you, I'd love to hear from you.
