Design Philosophy

TCC LEAGUE

We believe that good design blends aesthetics and functionality together. To achieve this, every project we take on is built around four ideas that we call the TCC League Design philosophy, which stands for

Logic and Excellence Achieve Great User Experiences.

In a nutshell, we believe something has to make sense before it can look good and it has to look good for a reason. Here's what that means in practice.

Great +
User
Experiences
Every element, feature and function must have a purpose, from the way information is organised to the position of navigation, headings and calls-to-action. A website should make sense to the people using it and to the search engines and code that sit behind it so nothing is left to guesswork on either side.
Our tagline is "Striving for excellence." This mantra sets the standard we aim to reach with every project. With near three decades of experience in IT, we have an eye for what works and what's appropriate in different situations. We combine typography, colour and composition to work for the user and aim to make every site accessible and responsive.
Aesthetics are crucial, but functionality comes first. Therefore, before we design anything, we ask what it needs to achieve. Is it more enquiries, more bookings, or more credibility? We therefore measure success against that and not against our own taste.
We design our sites by balancing convention with creativity...familiar navigation and layout patterns, paired with a look and feel that's distinct to you. We consider what users need to know, what they might be looking for and what could encourage them to take the next step.

Search Visibility

You Found Our Site - We Can Do the Same For Yours

A stunning website that nobody finds is a missed opportunity. It's like being all dressed-up with nowhere to go, so we ensure that every site is built with SEO (Search Engine Optimisation), AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) in mind from the ground up and not as an afterthought. Our designers are all skilled in these areas, so your site benefits from both hands-on design expertise and dedicated search strategy.

  • SEO - Making sure your site ranks well in local search results.
  • AEO - Structuring content so voice assistants and AI search tools can find your business as a direct answer.
  • GEO - Making sure that AI chatbots reference your business accurately when someone asks them for a recommendation.

Since 1998

What Our Customers Say

We're proud to support businesses of any size to help them achieve their online goals. That could be us designing and creating a brand-new site. Alternatively, it could involve overhauling an existing site, or moving one to a new host. In any case, we can help. This is what our customers have had to say.

We've used TCC to update our website and the service we've received has been excellent - Louise Murray (Owner, Shiny Happy Cleaning)

Creation

Website Design and Development in Teesside

We design and build websites from the ground up, shaped around your business and what you need your site to achieve. You'll have one point of contact from the first sketch to launch day and beyond.

  • Hosting arranged for you
  • SEO built in from the start, with ongoing support available

Small business websites from £495

Every website is quoted individually, because no two businesses need exactly the same thing. The price depends on:

  • The number of pages
  • Extra features, such as online booking or e-commerce
  • How much help you need with content and copywriting
  • Moving across from an existing site

Maintenance

A Website Launch is Just the Beginning

We believe that effective websites need a little TLC over time in order for them to keep doing their job. Much like a house will need cleaning, minor repairs and structural work in its lifetime, so it is with websites. They too will inevitably need redundant material to be removed periodically. Also, they will likely need new content on an ongoing basis and, over the course of their lifetime, occasional structural changes.

Website Maintenance

A well-maintained website is one less thing to worry about. From updates and backups to support, we've got the technical side covered. Monthly plans start once your site is live and are separate from the one-off design and build cost.

Core software updates
Weekly backups
Uptime monitoring
