Welcome to the Northern blog

Welcome to the Northern blog, where we dive into the world of creative digital design and marketing, right here from our home base in North East England. I’m Dave, and I lead the charge at Northern, working with a passionate team to help businesses in the hospitality, tech, and SME sectors shine online. Let’s chat about how Northern is helping businesses in the region grow with bold designs and strategic marketing.

At Northern, we understand the importance of a website that not only looks good but also drives results. Our web design and development services are all about crafting user-friendly sites tailored for conversion. Whether it’s a sleek landing page or a complete website overhaul, we ensure each design is professional and engaging, maximizing user interaction and boosting your bottom line.

Branding is another cornerstone of what we do. We know that a strong brand stands out, and that’s why we offer comprehensive branding services covering logo design, color schemes, and typography. Our goal is to create a cohesive visual identity that positions your business distinctively in the market.

Digital marketing at Northern is tailored to your needs. We specialize in data-driven campaigns, whether it’s managing social media, running paid ads on platforms like Google and Facebook, or crafting compelling email campaigns. Our strategies are optimized for maximum conversions, ensuring you get the best ROI.

We also offer exceptional photography and videography services. Be it mouth-watering menu photography for a restaurant or elegant videography for a corporate event, Northern makes sure your visuals are top-notch and engaging.

Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) is where we excel, identifying and smoothing out friction points in your digital presence. This might include updating site imagery or fixing bugs in booking platforms, all aimed at boosting those conversion rates.

Our SEO and PPC services are designed to get your business noticed. With expertise in optimizing websites for search engines and running effective pay-per-click campaigns, Northern ensures your site traffic increases. For example, we’ve helped local businesses see up to a 145% increase in organic traffic while reducing bounce rates.

At Northern, we love sharing success stories. Recently, we helped a local restaurant optimize their website, leading to a 32% increase in direct bookings. Or take the musician finder website we worked on, where our use of WordPress plugins helped musicians connect with venues seamlessly.

Great work from NORTHERN! We were looking to rebrand the company logo, but we were unsure how to go about it. NORTHERN understood our company before designing the rebrand, and it worked great. He introduced ideas we hadn't thought of before, and has a real eye for detail. Very fast turnaround and listened to any ideas we had also.
