Web design in Brighton
We are not in Brighton. We are a small studio in Southampton, and a Brighton site with us is done over the phone, on video and on WhatsApp. We make that fair by building the site first, so you see it before you pay. Brighton is a city that can spot something generic from across the street, so this page sticks to what is true of Brighton and Hove.
We write every site by hand. No page builder, no forty plugins, no theme somebody else in Brighton is already using.

The Brighton businesses we build for most
Brighton and Hove is Regency squares on the seafront, rows of painted Victorian terraces up the hills in Hanover and Round Hill, and an independent streak that runs from the North Laine to St James's Street in Kemptown. The work splits along those lines.
Roofers, sash and render specialists
Salt air, steep streets and Regency stucco make for constant roof, render and window work, a lot of it in conservation areas. Search roofer Brighton and Checkatrade has pages of them. The one who gets the call shows the same kind of house they are standing in front of. Your site should be that proof.
Independent shops
The North Laine has over 300 independent shops in half a square mile, and Kemptown has its own run of antiques, books and homewares on St George's Road and St James's Street. Visitors find you in person. A site with your stock, your hours and a way to buy online is how they find you again from home.
Cafes, studios and makers
Brighton is full of small creative businesses, from tattoo studios to ceramicists to photographers who shoot on the seafront. Instagram gets you seen, but it does not rank on Google or take a booking properly. A fast, simple site that looks like you, not like a template, is what makes the follow turn into a sale.
More on this: websites for roofers and websites for shops.
What you are actually up against in Brighton
For trades, the first page is the usual directories, then established Brighton firms, some with Brighton in their domain name. Brighton is also a place name in Michigan, Colorado and Melbourne, so a site that does not say Brighton and Hove, East Sussex and name its areas gives Google less to work with than it should.
For shops and studios, the competition is the city guides and listings sites that rank for things like independent shops Brighton, and Instagram. Neither is a real problem if you have your own site. Get into the map box, show what you sell or make, and make it easy to get in touch. In Brighton, looking like yourself is half the job.
Who we have actually built for near Brighton
Fair question on a page like this: have we actually done any of it near here. Here is the closest live client to Brighton we can put a name to.
Kent Chemistry Tutor, Maidstone & Online UK
Dr Sandip Desai is a PhD chemist and an OCR and Edexcel examiner with 20 years of teaching and 140+ students taken to A and A*. A credibility-led editorial build with a 3D molecule hero that sells the method and the results, not just the hours.
Maidstone is 42 miles from Brighton in a straight line.
Live on their own domain at kentchemistrytutor.co.uk. We built it first and they paid after.
You can check the rest the same way: our work page names every live client and the town they trade in, and labels every concept build as a concept, so you can tell at a glance which is which.

Web Design in Brighton: three questions we get asked
What happens once the site is live?
That is up to you. If you want us to keep looking after it, that is a care plan, at £45, £85 or £150 a month, and you can stop whenever you like. What each plan covers is on the care plan page.
What does a website actually cost in Brighton?
Ours start at £395 for a one to four page site, £650 for a bigger business site and £1,200 for a premium build. A shop or a web app is quoted on the job because no two are the same. That is the whole list, and it is on the pricing page rather than behind a form.
Brighton has loads of web designers. Why use one in Hampshire?
It does, and some of them are very good. The difference with us is the order. We build your site first and send you the link, and you only pay if you want it. We are in Southampton, so it is all phone, video and WhatsApp. If you would rather sit in a studio in the North Laine and talk it through, that is a fair choice too.
