A small web design studio for Sussex businesses, from seafront cafes to firms tucked under the Downs.

We design and build websites, then help them get found. One team handles the design, the build, the search work and the ads, so nothing gets lost between suppliers and you always know who to ask.

From first call to a site that is live

Every project follows the same four steps, so you know what happens next and what we need from you.

  1. A conversation first

    We talk through your business, your customers and what the website needs to do. You get a written quote before any work starts.

  2. Plan and design

    We map out the pages, then design the key screens. You see them and comment before anything is built.

  3. Build and check

    We build the site, add your content, and test it on phones, tablets and desktops, including speed and basic accessibility checks.

  4. Launch and look after

    We put the site live, set up analytics and Search Console, and stay on hand for changes and support.

Website design for Sussex, coast to Weald

Sussex is not one market. A guest house in Eastbourne, an accountant in Haywards Heath and a garden centre outside Chichester all sell to different people in different ways, even though they share a county. Good website design starts with that difference. Before we draw a single screen, we want to know who your customers are, which towns they come from and what they need to see before they pick up the phone.

That is why we work as a small web design agency in Sussex rather than a template shop. Every site is planned page by page, written for the searches your customers actually make, and built to load quickly on the phone in their pocket. Whether you are looking for a web designer in Sussex for a first site or a web design company to replace one that has stopped working, the starting point is the same conversation.

West Sussex and East Sussex

We cover the whole county. In West Sussex that includes Chichester, Worthing and Haywards Heath. In East Sussex it includes Eastbourne, Hastings and Lewes. Each area page explains what we see in that part of the county and the kinds of businesses we build for there.

What a Sussex business website needs to do

  • Answer the first question fast. What you do, where you do it and how to get in touch should be clear within a few seconds, on any screen.
  • Match how people search. People look for a service and a place. Your pages should use the words they use and name the towns you really serve.
  • Earn trust honestly. Real photos, real details and clear prices, where you can share them, do more than stock images and vague promises.
  • Make contact easy. A short form, a visible phone number and a clear next step on every page.

More than a website

A website is the start, not the end. Our SEO services help the right people find you, digital marketing keeps you in front of them, and PPC brings in enquiries while your rankings grow. If you run a hotel, restaurant or attraction, see our page on hospitality and tourism websites.

Not sure what to budget? Our guide to how much a website costs in Sussex breaks down what drives the price. If you already have a site, run it through our free SEO audit tool to see where it stands.

Questions

Do you only work with businesses in Sussex?

Yes. We are a web design company for Sussex businesses, across both West Sussex and East Sussex. We hold our meetings as video calls on Zoom or Google Meet, so where you are in the county makes no difference to how we work.

How long does a new website take?

It depends on the number of pages and how ready your content is. A small brochure site moves much faster than a site with bookings or a shop. We give you a timeline with the quote.

How do you price a website?

Every quote follows a short chat about what your site has to achieve, so the price fits the job. Quotes are free, written and itemised, so you can see what each part covers. We ask for 50% to start and 50% at launch, and as we are not VAT registered, no VAT is added.

Can you redesign my existing website?

Yes. We start by looking at what your current site does well and what is holding it back, so the redesign keeps the pages that already bring in visitors.

Will my new website show up on Google?

Every site we build has the basics in place: sensible page titles, clean structure, fast loading and a sitemap. Ranking for competitive Sussex searches usually needs ongoing SEO work on top, which we also offer.

Who owns the website when it is finished?

You do. Your domain, your content and your site are yours, and we hand over the access details at launch.

Can I update the website myself?

If you want to, yes. We can set the site up so you can change text and images yourself, or you can send changes to us.
