Web Development in Newcastle-under-Lyme
A local developer building websites and web apps for businesses across the Newcastle-under-Lyme borough
Working with Newcastle-under-Lyme businesses
Whoooop Ltd builds websites and web applications for firms in and around Newcastle-under-Lyme. The town has a busy mix of independent shops, trades, professional services and businesses tied to Keele University, and most of them need a site that brings in enquiries rather than one that just sits there. We've spent 15+ years in full-stack development, so we can take a project from the first sketch through to a site you can actually run yourself.
What we build
Marketing and brochure sites
Clear, quick-loading sites that explain what you do and make it easy for someone to get in touch or book.
Online shops
E-commerce builds with secure payments and stock control, on Shopify or a bespoke setup if your products need it.
Web applications
Booking systems, dashboards and internal tools built around your process instead of forcing you into someone else's.
Rebuilds and rescues
Replacing a slow or dated site, or taking over one nobody else will touch, without losing your search rankings.
How we work
We start by understanding what the site needs to do for you, then build with TypeScript, React and Node.js on modern hosting. Performance and accessibility are part of the work from the start, not an afterthought. You get a site you can update yourself, and once it's live we stay on hand for changes, fixes and the occasional awkward question.
Why a local developer helps
Being close by means we can meet in person when it's useful and we understand the area you're selling into. You deal with the person doing the work, not an account manager passing messages along. If you also serve the wider Potteries, our web development in Stoke-on-Trent page covers that side of the patch.
Areas we cover
We work with businesses across the Newcastle-under-Lyme borough — the town centre, Westlands, Clayton, Silverdale, Knutton, Wolstanton and Bradwell — as well as Keele, Kidsgrove and, out on the Cheshire border, the Audley parish and its coalfield villages.

Get in TouchFrequently asked questions
Do you build websites for businesses in Newcastle-under-Lyme?
Yes. Whoooop Ltd works with Newcastle-under-Lyme businesses and others across Staffordshire, from sole traders to established firms. Most of a project runs over email and calls, with an in-person meeting when it genuinely helps — so being a short drive away matters less than getting the site right.
What kind of websites do you build?
Marketing and brochure sites, online shops, booking systems and bespoke web applications. We can also take over, fix or redesign a site you already have. Everything is built to work properly on a phone, since that is where most Newcastle-under-Lyme customers will find you.
How much does a website cost?
Every project is quoted individually — a simple brochure site and a bespoke web app are very different pieces of work. Tell us roughly what you need and we will give you a straight price rather than a package that half-fits. There is no charge for the initial conversation.
Do we need to meet in person?
Usually not. Most work happens over email and video calls, which keeps things moving and keeps costs down. If a face-to-face meeting would help, we can arrange one in Newcastle-under-Lyme or nearby.
Can you help my website show up on Google?
Yes. We handle the technical and on-page side of SEO — site structure, loading speed and the markup search engines read — so your site has a fair shot at ranking for local searches in Newcastle-under-Lyme and across Staffordshire.
What technologies do you use?
We build with TypeScript, React and Node.js on modern, fast hosting, with 15+ years of full-stack experience behind it. For a straightforward site that means quick, reliable pages; for something more involved it means a codebase that is still safe to change years later.
