Lisa — founder of L Creative
The Studio

North East web design for trades that take their business seriously.

L Creative is a Gateshead-based web studio run by Lisa, specialising in websites for trades and local businesses — electricians, plumbers, groundworkers, cleaners, bathroom fitters and more. We build sites that look the part, load fast, and help you get found when someone searches for what you do in Gateshead, Newcastle, North and South Tyneside, Sunderland and across Tyne and Wear.

No jargon, no bloated WordPress setups, no disappearing after launch. You work directly with the person building your site — not an account manager or a hand-off to a junior developer. That means faster decisions, honest advice and ongoing support from someone who actually knows your project.

Bigger agencies can feel safer on paper, but you often pay for layers you never meet. As a focused freelancer, Lisa gives you agency-quality work without the overhead — one point of contact from the first brief through to launch and beyond.

“Really impressed with the service we have received from LCreative from the start. Both Lisa and Dan had thoroughly researched our company before even contacting us, Dan produced a mock website for us to look at which was informative, personal to our company and looked great! We were sold! We didn't even know we wanted a website until LCreative were on the scene.”

“Lisa approached us about our website, asked if she could review what we had and offer some suggestion, I was absolutely blown away what came back and landed into my inbox, the attention to detail, the colours the content, the layout was just prefect and this was before we met them face to face. After hours of chatting and getting to know more about our business, they listened to what we wanted, what our needs were our budget and more importantly how important our brand was to us. They went away and came back with even more ideas. Highly recommend this business. Two hard working people who now what they are doing and actually listen to you and not pushing for things you don't need, So looking forward to working with them and watching our business grown from strength to strength with their help and expertise. So pleased Lisa reached out. Thanks again for your time and professionalism.”

“Dan and Lisa were/are absolutely wonderful. From the start to finish of our journey with them, to create our website for the restaurant, they were very professional, knowledgeable, helpful and very patient (I came prepared with lots of questions to our meeting and after that with quite a few amendments to preview site - not a bother for Dan to sort it out over the phone). They covered all areas of building the website, the ongoing service and put us at ease (to understand everything in plain English if you like). Our website looks amazing, we are getting nice comments from customers and gets lots of bookings via website, which is a bonus. Thank you so much Dan and Lisa x”

Areas covered

Web design across Newcastle & the North East

L Creative is based in Gateshead and builds websites for trades and local businesses across Tyne and Wear — from electricians and plumbers in Gateshead to cleaners and fitters in North Tyneside, Sunderland and beyond.

Not sure if we cover your town? Get in touch — most projects are remote-friendly with a local focus on Google visibility for your service area.

Common Queries

Let's answer your questions.

How long does the process take?

Most trade websites take around two to three weeks from kick-off to launch, depending on how many pages you need and how quickly we receive your photos and copy. We keep things moving — you're not sitting in a months-long queue.

What if I don't have a logo yet?

No problem. We can get you live with a clean text-based logo to start, or recommend trusted local designers if you want a full brand identity further down the line.

How does pricing work?

Every project is quoted individually. We scope the work around what your business actually needs — the number of pages, the design, functionality and ongoing support — then put together a clear, tailored proposal with no hourly rates or surprises. Get in touch and we'll talk through it.

Who handles updates to the site?

We do. Every site is looked after on an ongoing care plan that covers content changes, hosting and maintenance — so you're not logging into WordPress or worrying about plugins breaking while you're on a job.

Why Next.js and not WordPress?

Your site is professionally coded in Next.js — the same modern framework used by companies like Nike and Netflix. That means faster load times on mobile, better Google rankings, stronger security and no plugin bloat or update headaches. For trade businesses, speed and reliability matter when customers are searching from their phone.

What areas do you cover?

We're based in Gateshead and work with trades and local businesses across Newcastle, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Sunderland, Durham, Whitley Bay, Wallsend, Tynemouth, Washington, Blaydon and the wider Tyne and Wear area. Most of the build is done remotely — we focus on getting your site ranking for the towns you actually serve.

Why work with a freelancer instead of a bigger agency?

With L Creative you deal directly with Lisa — the person designing and building your site — not an account manager or a rotating team. That means faster decisions, clearer communication and a site built around your business rather than a template passed between departments. You're not paying for a fancy office or a sales team; you're paying for focused expertise and ongoing support from someone who knows your project inside out.
