Meet Dan Boots
Hi, I'm Dan — the founder of Vuhze. I've been building websites for North East businesses since 2020, starting from a simple belief: local businesses deserve the same quality of web technology as large corporations, without the agency price tag.
What started as freelance web projects quickly grew. Today, Vuhze has served 75+ clients across Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham and beyond — from sole-trader accountants to multi-site engineering firms.
I chose Next.js as our technology of choice because it gives North East businesses a genuine competitive advantage: faster load times, better SEO performance, and rock-solid security compared to the WordPress sites our competitors deliver.
Dan Boots
Founder, Vuhze
Next.js developer and digital marketing specialist. Based in Newcastle upon Tyne. Passionate about helping North East businesses succeed online.
Why Businesses Choose Vuhze
We're not another generic agency. Here's what makes Vuhze different for North East businesses.
Next.js First
We build exclusively with Next.js and React. No WordPress. No page builders. Custom, lightning-fast code that Google rewards.
Genuinely Local
We're based in Newcastle and we know the North East market. We understand what local businesses need to rank and convert.
Long-Term Relationships
75+ clients trust us with their online presence. Many have been with us since day one — that says everything.
Results That Matter
We don't just build websites. We build websites that rank on Google, attract enquiries, and grow your business.
Sectors We Serve
We have deep experience building websites for professional services firms across the North East. Our niche expertise means we understand your clients, your compliance requirements, and what makes your sector tick.
Why Next.js Over WordPress?
WordPress powers 40% of the web — which means 40% of the web has the same security vulnerabilities, the same bloated plugins, the same slow load times. Next.js is purpose-built for performance. Our sites score 95+ on Google PageSpeed. That matters for rankings.
