Web design in Crawley
We are not in Crawley. We run SH Studios from Southampton, and we work with Sussex businesses by phone, video call and WhatsApp. That is fine for one reason above the rest: we build your site first. You look at it, you pick it apart, and you only pay when it is right. You never have to take our word for anything.
Most sites we replace in Crawley are slow, five years old, and built on a template the owner cannot edit. We write ours from scratch so there is nothing to bloat it.

The Crawley businesses we build for most
Crawley was planned, and it shows in how the work arrives. There is Manor Royal next to Gatwick, full of businesses buying services from other businesses. Then there are the fourteen neighbourhoods, each with its own parade of shops, and the new homes going up at Forge Wood and Kilnwood Vale.
Firms selling to Manor Royal
Manor Royal is the biggest business park in the Gatwick Diamond, with more than 600 businesses and around 30,000 jobs. If you clean offices, fit out units, service vans or supply anything a business buys, your customer is a facilities manager, not a homeowner. They want a site that answers the boring questions quickly: what you do, where, how fast, and who to call.
Trades working the neighbourhoods
Crawley's housing was built in waves from 1947 onwards, so Three Bridges and West Green have a different age of house to Maidenbower or Forge Wood. That changes the work, from rewires and replacement windows in the older areas to snagging and extensions in the newer ones. Your site can say that, neighbourhood by neighbourhood, if it is true for you.
Removals, couriers and airport work
Gatwick shapes a lot of Crawley life, from shift workers to people moving in for a job at the airport. Removals, man and van, taxis and courier firms all get work from that churn. Those customers search on a phone, often late, and they want a price or a way to book. A site that lets them do that before they ring anyone else wins the job.
More on this: websites for removals firms.
What you are actually up against in Crawley
Search for a service in Crawley and you get the map box, then the directories, then the firms. Crawley also gets pulled into bigger search results for Gatwick, Horsham and Sussex, so a lot of the businesses showing up are not in Crawley at all. Some of them are national firms with a Crawley page that says nothing about the town.
That gives a real Crawley business an edge if the site uses it. Name the neighbourhoods you work in. Name Manor Royal if you work there. Say how quickly you can get to Pound Hill or Broadfield. A generic Sussex page cannot say any of that, and Google, like the customer, notices when a page is about the place rather than just mentioning it.

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 Crawley: three questions we get asked
What does a website actually cost in Crawley?
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.
How long until it is live?
You see a real preview of your own site inside 48 hours. From the point you say yes, a small site is usually live inside a week, and most of that week is waiting on your photos and your domain login rather than on us.
Most of my work is for businesses on Manor Royal, not homeowners. Is that a different kind of site?
A bit different, yes. A business buyer wants to know you can invoice properly, turn up on time and handle more than one site. So the site leads with what you do for businesses, the kind of firms you work with, and how to get a quote, with less emphasis on galleries. It is still a site built first and shown to you before you pay.
