For Newcastle businesses who need a change on the site today
Most small edits are a ten minute job, and the delay is almost always access rather than the work.
A report on your own site, showing what it is built on, who holds the hosting and whether a backup exists.

Since it went live my phone hasn’t stopped ringing.
He created a stunning website for us that captures and nurtures leads with an automated email marketing system, which has filled a huge gap in the business and saved a lot of time (and money!).
Reece has been generous, reliable and knowledgeable in creating an online presence for our sporting club. He is good to work with and has good technical abilities.
A price, a phone number, an opening hour or a photograph can be changed on a website in minutes, as long as somebody has the logins.
The wait that frustrates owners is almost never the edit itself.
Text, prices, hours, phone numbers, photographs, a closure notice and a form field are same day work. Each is a small edit to a page that already exists.
These are the changes a business actually needs at short notice, and none of them requires a designer.
Four things decide whether a change happens today: somebody has the logins, a backup is taken, the result is checked on a phone, and the person editing knows the site.
Where a change is slow, one of those four is missing. It is worth fixing once rather than at every request.
A new page, a new booking or payment feature, a design change across the whole site and anything needing new photography all take longer than a day.
Being told a job takes two days is more useful than a rushed version that has to be redone next week.
Related reading from us: the hosting side of it.
Yes, for wording, prices, hours, photographs and contact details, as long as the logins exist and a backup is taken first.
Usually nobody had the hosting or site logins, so the time went into chasing a previous builder rather than into the work.
The business. Hosting, domain and the site itself all belong in the business name, whoever does the work on them.
No. The writing is the slow part, and a page added in a hurry rarely earns its place in search results.
One monthly fee covering everything, month to month, no lock-in. The number depends on the business and gets given on the call.
