Running a business is demanding - you don’t need to be tied up managing a website too. We need less than an hour of your time to get started. After that, everything is handled for you.

What We Offer

Spend Less Time on Tech, More Time on Your Business

What if you don’t love your new website?

No risk, no upfront cost. If we can’t deliver a design you’re proud of, you don’t pay a penny. Monthly billing starts only when your site goes live.

Why hand-code instead of using WordPress?

Platforms like WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace often come with slow load times, security issues, and ongoing maintenance headaches. We take a different approach - clean, secure, high-performance websites built properly from the ground up.

Stand Out Online with a Website That Builds Trust

First impressions matter. Your website should instantly communicate what you do and why customers can trust you. Every site we build is bespoke, clear, and designed to stand out.

How fast does a hand-coded website actually load?

Slow websites lose visitors. Our websites are lightning fast, stripped of bloat, and optimized for modern search and AI-driven results - keeping users engaged and your business ahead of the competition.

Unmatched Support

All packages include unlimited edits and comprehensive maintenance, backed by fast, reliable support so you can focus on running your business.

Your Website, Always Up to Date

Web design moves fast. Many websites feel outdated in just a few years. Our plans include hosting, domain, edits, support, and a complete redesign every three years, keeping your site modern, professional, and effective long-term.

Practical guides on web design, speed, pricing and local SEO for Sussex small businesses.

Type your business name into Google. If a panel comes up on the right with your address and phone number on a map, Google has a listing for you. That's normal: Google builds them from whatever it can find, and plenty of businesses have one they never asked for. Now look down that panel for a small link that says "Own this business?". If you can see it, Google doesn't think you manage the listing. Either nobody has claimed it, or someone did years ago with an old email address. Claiming it takes a few minutes, then there's a wait of a few days while Google checks. This post covers why it's worth doing round here, and then how.
Google Already Has a Listing for Your Business. Have You Claimed It?

People ask me this more than anything else, usually a little apologetically, as if the answer is obvious. It depends. I build websites for a living, so you would expect me to say yes, and for a lot of businesses the honest answer is "not yet". So I went and looked. I have a list of just over 17,000 Sussex businesses pulled from Google Maps, and I can see where each of their Google listings sends people. I also run the sites for a handful of local businesses and can see exactly where their visitors come from. Here is what that shows, and how to tell which side of the line you are on.
Do You Need a Website in 2026?

I went through the analytics on the sites I manage a few weeks ago expecting a tidying job. On one of them, 41% of the recorded traffic turned out to be coming from my own development machine. The tracking script was firing every time I opened a page to work on it, and every one of those was being counted as a visitor. That was my own bug and I have fixed it. But cleaning up the rest of the data turned up something more general: across the sites I look after, roughly one session in five came from datacentres and scraping operations rather than from anybody who might ever buy anything. If you have looked at your visitor numbers and wondered why they never turn into enquiries, this is part of the answer.
