#NND. We didn't have time to ponder and wonder what to call ourselves — hence #nonamedesigns, as such, your brand, your business and your skill are far more important to us
If you like what we do, give us a shout & we'll see what we can make just for you
Our aim is simple: get you online and noticed
· Straight · Solid · Seen ·
As you can probably tell, we might come across a tadge casual & carefree. When we get to work with you our attitude at all times is one of “at ease” — we work the 80/20 rule, no hassles, just gently nudging the show forward
FLAGSHIP · OUR-TOWN.UK
Every building, tree and bend of the Wansbeck, modelled on real laser-scanned ground and drawn like an old engraving. Not a stock map — surveyed data, rendered as artwork. Drag it about and find your own street
↗ morpeth.our-town.uk
A full trip-planner for Hadrian's Wall — for every stop a dedicated accommodation card, a designed data set of what's all there, how far, & a simple 1-click to book. A proper working product, not a brochure
↗ walkerswall.co.uk
From the Tyne to the Nile — the restless emperor who chose Rome's limits, and built them. Five chapters, ending on the dying poem to his own “little wandering soul”
↗ emperorhadrian.co.uk
Aulus Platorius Nepos, the man named on the Wall. Every claim on the page carries its own evidence marker — known, dated, or honestly admitted as unknown
↗ nepos.emperorhadrian.co.uk
An excavation in section — the Wall dug through layer by layer, down to the men who actually built it. Quarry chips, hobnails, a centurial stone. Look at this one if you care how a site reads
↗ thewallmakers.co.uk
A Roman fort and supply base read through its granaries, inscriptions and people — the Wall as a connected system, fed through the mouth of the Tyne
↗ arbeia.emperorhadrian.co.uk
The most excavated fort on Hadrian's Wall, placed back on its native 1-metre LiDAR. Switch the Roman buildings, fort footprint and Wall line on, then orbit the real hillside
↗ segedunum.pages.dev
Alexandria, 69–30 BC, in three acts — her world first, then Rome arrives, then the search for where she lies. Gold and lapis, where the empire's iron bleeds in
↗ cleopatra.emperorhadrian.co.uk
The same Wall, told in Latin — the whole site written as a Roman would have found it. Still a living language if you let it be. Salve, viator
↗ frontier.emperorhadrian.co.uk/roman
Eighty Roman miles, coast to coast — forts, inscriptions, voices and the lost sections, laid out like a proper archive
↗ frontier.emperorhadrian.co.uk
The Anglo-Saxon royal township under Yeavering Bell, rebuilt on 5-metre LiDAR. Toggle the hillfort, the plan and the reconstruction — and see what the ground still remembers
↗ adgefrin.testflight-terrain.co.uk
65 × 65 km of measurable terrain at 1 metre resolution — measure it, profile it, drop a viewpoint. Thirteen palettes and the whole of Lakeland under them
↗ lakes-terrain-viewer.pages.dev
Cumbria flood analysis built on Environment Agency LiDAR, connected & live readings for real time monitoring — where the water goes when it falls — in use with Civils Engineers
↗ lakeshydrolab.co.uk
The whole Lake District in 3D, thirty named peaks and nineteen lakes, with nine palettes to fly it in. Drag it about and find a fell you've walked
↗ testflight-terrain.co.uk
Earthwork volumes, excavations & surfaces straight from survey points. Load the points, render the surface, get the volume — with a QA panel that tells you when not to trust it
↗ www.earth-calcs.co.uk
The front door to EARTH‑CALC's. Turns messy DXF survey data into a clean, ready CSV — measure, recode, join points, shrink-wrap a boundary, then send it next door. No file leaves your browser
↗ dxfgate.co.uk
5,784 registered species as flip-cards — beetles, moths, true bugs, the lot. Search it, spin the dial, then build a private field register from your own sightings
↗ mypocketsafari.co.uk
135 artists and 56 galleries, filterable by area — a directory that has to stay quick and clear while carrying a lot of content. Data handling as much as design
↗ northumberlandarts.co.uk
The bookshop on Newgate Street — right here in Morpeth. Warm, simple, and built to make a small independent shop look every bit as good as a chain
↗ houseofstories.co.uk
A private proposal for a potential client — five complete creative ranges and thirty original product mock-ups, spanning design objects, evidence-led graphics, cultural editions, artist drops and personalised print. Independent concept work, made to show what could be
↗ nnd-tlab-proposal.pages.dev
A working prospect redesign for a Northumberland tree-surgery team — domestic and commercial routes, qualifications, safety evidence and 24-hour response made clearer. Independent concept work, built to show the next step
↗ egs-private-review-8f4d2b.pages.dev
A client storefront for Fit-Check Seven in Morpeth — current stock, label-led browsing, detailed item pages and a direct route from first look to reservation. Built with the business, ready to grow as new pieces arrive
↗ fitcheck-seven.pages.dev
An archive of luxury menswear — And Wander, Stone Island, C.P. Company, Margiela. 66 pieces, filtered by brand and size, every one photographed properly. Quiet, expensive looking, sold by enquiry
↗ lifestylelibrarymen-archive.co.uk
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN REVIEW
Concept direction for a premium event studio — balloon work as spatial art rather than party decoration. Built as a demonstration of what the brand could be, so the imagery is illustrative. Here for the art direction & restraint
↗ by-invitation-only-stage.pages.dev
285 pieces of dog art, filterable twenty ways, with commissions on top. A proper shop that has to stay quick while carrying a very big catalogue

Some of the sites we've built, we unintentionally got way more involved in — genuinely interesting to learn. Others, the first examples were sent, seen & the client chose. No umms or ahhs — which meant job done, site launched, home for tea, cheese & jam sandwiches
Most businesses know their stuff, it just isn't always easy to see. We ask the daft questions, dig about and find what the whole site should hang on
Not a skin laid over a template. The words, pictures, colour and movement come from the subject, so the finished thing feels properly yours
Too much stock, specialist knowledge, old files, maps or years of ideas. We get underneath it, join it up and make it easy to use
We bring the direction, make the decisions with you and build it right through, keeping things easy, honest and gently moving until it is live
We are looking for 6 new clients — local business in Northumberland

Send us a line about your business and what you're after — even if you're not sure yet. No hard sell, no jargon, and no charge for a conversation
You won't be dealing with a noname person, from a big agency, or a posh office. We're a small team of carefully selected people to help you out where we can
Whatever you've got — a paragraph, a photo, a rough idea on the back of an envelope
On you, and on the business. That's the bit that makes it yours rather than a template
You look, you pick, we build. Or you walk away — no hard feelings
really easy — no obligation!
A paragraph, a photograph or a half-formed thought is plenty. Pick the route that works on your device.

When you visit. The site is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any host, their servers keep short-term technical logs, including your IP address, to serve the page and fend off attacks. We don't use them for marketing and we build no profile of you
When you email us. We'll have your address, your name if you give it, and whatever you write — used to reply and to quote. That's the lot. No mailing list, and we pass it to nobody
How long. Enquiries that don't become work are deleted within 12 months. For clients we keep what the job needs, and anything with money attached for 6 years because HMRC says so
Your rights. Ask what we hold, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it — just email. Normally sorted the same week, within a month at the latest, and it costs you nothing. If we ever get it wrong and can't put it right, you can raise it with the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk
