Get a website you’re finally proud to share

You've built a crackin' business but your website doesn't reflect how good it is. Every time someone says "I'll look you up," something drops in your stomach. You know what they're about to find. We fix that with a website that makes you look the dogs bollocks.

Cringing at your own website? So are your potential clients

DIY'ed under the candlelight one cold winter's Sunday eve, or thrown together by your Uncle Steve. Your business has moved on since then but your website? Still stuck in the past and it's costing you more than you'd think.

Problem

You apologise before people even click

“It’s a bit out of date, I’ve been meaning to sort it.” Sound familiar?

You’re managing expectations before anyone’s seen a thing. That’s not a website problem. That’s an embarrassment problem.

problem

Your website doesn't look anything like your business

Your work is brilliant. Your clients love you. And then there’s the website.

Frozen in time. Generic. Nothing like what you’ve actually built. The mismatch is doing you damage every single day.

problem

People are looking you up and quietly moving on

You’ll never get an email saying “I checked your site and it put me off.”

They just disappear. No idea how many. No idea how often. That’s the bit that should keep you up at night.

Problem

You can't change a word without chasing a developer

Want to update your prices? Add a new service? Fix a typo? Better drop someone an email and wait.

Your own website and you’re not in control of it. That’s not how it should work.

Problem

You look less credible than competitors who are worse than you

They’ve got a decent website. You’ve got a better business. But online, they’re winning.

That gap between how good you actually are and how you look online? It’s costing you.

How much?

how it works

what’s the plan then?

This is how every project starts. No upfront cost, no pressure, no hard sell. Just a clear process from beginning to end.

step 1

FILL IN THE QUESTIONNAIRE

Before anything else, I need to understand your business properly. The questionnaire covers who you are, who your clients are, and what your website needs to do. Takes about 30 minutes. That's the foundation everything gets built on.

step 2

I BUILD YOUR BLUEPRINT. WE GO THROUGH IT TOGETHER.

From your answers I build the full strategy and a page-by-page plan for your site. Then we get on a 20 minute call and go through it all together. By the end you'll know exactly what your website needs — and I'll make you the offer for the full build. No hard sell. The work speaks for itself.

step 3

YOUR WEBSITE. DONE IN FOUR TO SIX WEEKS.

Strategy, copy, design, and build. Everything included. Four to six weeks from go to a website you're genuinely proud of.

FAQs

Does it really cost nowt to get started?

Nowt. The Website Blueprint is completely free with no strings attached. You fill in the questionnaire, we do the strategy and wireframe, and we get on a 20 minute call to go through it all. At the end of that call we'll talk you through the option to have us build it. You know that going in. No surprises. The Blueprint is genuinely useful whether you go ahead or not.

How long’s it gonna take?

The Blueprint is usually turned around within a week or two of you filling in the questionnaire. If you go ahead with the full project after that, you're looking at four to six weeks from kick-off to a live website. So start to finish, most clients have a brand new website they're proud of inside two months.

What if I've been burnt by a web designer before?

That's exactly why the Blueprint exists. See the quality of the thinking before you spend a single penny. The fixed price means no surprise invoices halfway through. And the way the sales conversation goes is usually a pretty good preview of how the project goes. If something feels off, trust that.

Will I actually be able to run it myself?

That's the whole point. Everything is built on WordPress so you can update text, add images, publish new pages, and make changes yourself without touching a line of code. No chasing anyone to fix a typo. No monthly retainer just to keep things ticking. It's yours from day one.

Do you do other types of websites?

Mostly Northern Sauce is built around solo and small service businesses but ecommerce and other types of websites are available too. Not apps though. If you're not sure whether what you need is something I can help with, just get in touch and I'll tell you straight.

testimonials

ooh they bloody love us

Don't take our word for it. Here's what happens when a proper good business finally gets a proper good website.

I’d built a makeshift site on GoDaddy but it looked poor and was probably putting clients off. After rebranding I wanted something professional that matched the image of my business. Dave made the whole process easy, laid back, fast, and full of ideas I wouldn’t have thought of. The new site looks brilliant, works smoothly, saves me time with customers, and I’m now proud to share it. Worth every penny.

Aaron May

Managing Director, The Oven Charmer

Before Northern Sauce, my site was clunky and dated. I needed something that actually reflected my business, and Dave totally nailed it. He was super easy to work with, went above and beyond to help, and completely understood my vibe. The end result is a website that feels exactly like me, just far more professional, and one I’m finally happy to share. Can’t recommend Dave enough.

Carrie Bradley

Managing Director, Avatar IP Law

My website and marketing strategy have been transformed, from a regrettable example of “what not to do” to an absolute masterclass in best practice.

Jonathan Wensley

Managing Director, NextGen EHS

I’d just taken on a block of new clients and needed a professional online presence fast. Dave made the whole process easy, kept everything organised, and turned things around quickly. The new site looks slick, gets great feedback, and makes my business feel far more professional.

Luke Adams

Managing Director, LJ Adams Accounting

We’ve had a great experience working with Northern Sauce. The team was helpful, friendly, and the website is excellent. We’ve already had new customers find us through it, and it’s made us realise a website needs to be far more than just an online presence.

Nat Merton

Managing Director, Kenworth Engineering

Working with Dave at Northern Sauce was unbelievable. After years of frustration with other web designers, he delivered exactly what we needed, no hidden costs, no nonsense, just clear communication and genuine care. The whole process was simple and stress-free, and the finished website perfectly reflects our business. We’re proud to share it now, and I’d recommend Dave without hesitation.

Rob Kneller

Managing Director, KIT365

We would 100% recommend Northern Sauce to anyone wanting a great website. Great service, great support, and always helpful. We’ll continue working with Northern Sauce for the foreseeable future.

Sanjay Mistry

Managing Director, Trackit247

We would 100% recommend Northern Sauce to anyone wanting a great website. Great service, great support, and always helpful. We’ll continue working with Northern Sauce for the foreseeable future.

Tom Smith

Managing Director, GPSBob

As a new business I didn’t have the time or know-how to build a website, so Dave took it all off my plate, design, copy, and plenty of helpful feedback along the way. He was easy to work with, always on hand for questions, and the finished site looks great, feels professional, and makes it far easier to share what I do. I’ve already recommended him to others.

Will Colthup

Managing Director, BCENE
