Driving school websites in South Tyneside
A clear, fast site for South Tyneside driving instructors who now have to prepare learners for the Sunderland test centre. Built on the Ki-Ki layout and shaped around the roads you actually use across South Shields, Jarrow, Hebburn, Boldon and beyond.
This page sits under the Ki-Ki driving schools focus. It is written for independent instructors and small schools in South Tyneside who want a simple, steady website rather than another noisy platform to wrestle with.
The wider structure and terms live on the Founder launch offer page. Here the attention stays on what has changed in South Tyneside and how a focused site can help.
South Tyneside lessons, Sunderland tests
With the South Tyneside test centre closed, learners from South Shields, Jarrow, Hebburn and the surrounding areas now sit their driving test in Sunderland instead. Instructors and local families have not been quiet about the impact.
- Longer journeys to the test centre on unfamiliar Sunderland routes
- Learners who feel disconnected from the area where their test now takes place
- Parents who are confused about why a South Tyneside instructor is talking about Sunderland roads
- Instructors who end up explaining the same change again and again by phone or message
A website cannot reopen a test centre, but it can explain the reality clearly. A South Tyneside driving school site built on Ki-Ki can set expectations in plain language and show that you have a plan for the extra distance and the Sunderland routes.
What your South Tyneside site can say in ten pages
Under the founder launch offer, a typical South Tyneside driving school fits inside the Ki-Ki Base Build at £200. That covers up to ten pages on the same layout Ki-Ki uses for its own projects.
You pay your own hosting and domain provider directly. For this kind of build the work assumes Porkbun static hosting with Cloudflare in front so the structure stays clean and the setup is repeatable. You stay as the account holder, I walk you through the steps once so you are not left to guess.
Core structure for South Tyneside instructors
- Home page with a clear promise for South Tyneside learners and parents
- Lessons and prices for manual and automatic where relevant
- Areas you cover such as South Shields, Jarrow, Hebburn, Boldon and Whitburn
- About page that shows who you are and how you teach nervous or first time drivers
- Contact page with phone, WhatsApp and email in one simple place
Local extras that make your site more useful
- A short explanation of the South Tyneside test centre closure and what it means in practice
- A Sunderland test centre preparation page that explains typical routes and tricky spots
- A local tips page for common South Shields and Jarrow junctions or coastal stretches
- A simple page that highlights reviews from Google, Facebook or word of mouth quotes
- A privacy and policy page so the site feels complete rather than thrown together
The aim is not to drown you in text. The aim is a steady, honest site that answers the obvious questions and reduces the number of times you have to type the same explanation into your phone.
Written around South Tyneside roads and Sunderland routes
Learners read more carefully when they recognise the places you describe. The same goes for search engines.
A South Tyneside build can mention the roads and patterns you see every day: coastal traffic near South Shields seafront, the Nook, routes around Jarrow and Hebburn, shopping traffic near Boldon and the way weather changes how people drive near the Tyne Tunnel or on the A19. The site can also explain how later lessons switch focus towards Sunderland, the test centre and the main approaches into the city.
You do not have to send long essays. You provide the raw notes in your own words, I turn them into clear headings and steady paragraphs that match the Ki-Ki layout and carry the local detail properly.
How a South Tyneside build runs
Most instructors want this sorted and off their list. The process is kept as short as it can be while still doing the job properly.
- You make contact. You send a short email with your name, the parts of South Tyneside you teach in and whether you already have a site or only a Facebook page or listing.
- Hosting and domain sit in your name. You buy Porkbun static hosting and a domain if you do not have them already. I can talk you through this step or work from temporary access that you grant, but the account stays yours.
- Pages and content are agreed in writing. We list the up to ten pages that make sense for you and what each one needs to say. You send prices, areas, car details and any specific routes or test notes you want mentioned.
- The site is built and previewed. I build the pages on the Ki-Ki layout, connect them to your hosting, and send you a private link to check. You highlight anything that needs adjusting and we refine it in a focused pass.
- Handover and next steps. After sign off, you receive a short record of what was set up, where files live, and how to ask for small extensions or a deeper review if your situation changes.
Payment timing and revision limits follow the Ki-Ki Base Build pattern on the founder launch offer. Those points are confirmed in writing so you know where you stand before work starts.

Start from whatever you have now
If you already have a South Tyneside site, the first step is to send the link and a line about what is frustrating you. If you have no site at all and only work from word of mouth or Facebook, say that and we start clean.
