Tyneside Group · aspirational doors
Real domains.
Honest sketches.
Doors that are not open for business.
The six live doors on the homepage are things Michael is already doing. This page is the sketchbook — brands that have a name, a domain, and a page so they can be talked about, without pretending they are finished.
Each card is a real site in the generator. None of these are operating businesses yet. WhatsApp if you want to help shape one.
Sketch · tyneside.green
A lifetime of personal CO₂ looking like ~£25k. Easy: pay Greenacres in Northumberland. Further: volunteer planting. Stretch: tyneside.charity + Gift Aid once registered. Not started.
Sketch · tyneside.garden
Paid local gardening and outdoor house maintenance. A person who already looks after Michael's house could take on gardens. Different from tyneside.green (carbon / Greenacres). Not a public booking yet.
Sketch · tyneside.beer
Joke domain, real brewery friend (Dynamite Valley, Cornwall). Dropship: order through tyneside.beer, they fulfil. +2% to tyneside.charity — same idea as the store. No shop yet.
Sketch · tyneside.academy
Michael is tutoring his son Lewis for early GCSEs. Lewis is building a site of everything he has learned. Possible next: publish that, and/or tutor other children (maybe as a group). Sketch only.
Sketch · tyneside.church
Domain bought on a whim. Michael has been talking with local church people and friends from other religions, for his own education. Maybe a monthly multi-faith meetup. Not a congregation. Sketch only.
Sketch · tyneside.store
White-label idea over RST Wholesale — a friend's shop. Catalogue links through to rst-wholesale.com. Later stretch: +2% to tyneside.charity. Not our checkout yet.
The live homepage should stay honest. Cleaning, charity, software, kit, games, logistics — those are doors people can walk through now, even if the product behind some of them is still being built.
Aspirational brands get a domain, a repo, and a sketch page so the idea has a home, without crowding the front door. When a sketch is ready to stand with the family, it moves onto the homepage and into the nav on every site.
