Questions from Cleadon business owners
Cleadon is small. Do I really need a website?
Your market is bigger than Cleadon. People across South Tyneside look up services online, and a clear website brings them to you.
When does the site go live?

What if I need to change something later?
Email us the change (new prices, photos or services) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.
Do we need to meet?
Everything happens by email: you send material and change requests, and you check the whole site on a temporary link before it goes live.
Will customers in Cleadon be able to use the site on their phones?
Yes. The layout adapts to phones, tablets and computers, and every page keeps a way to reach you and your details.
Do I pay anything to get started?
