Coastline Digital Design
Small Business Web Designer in Hove
Affordable, hand-coded websites for Hove businesses. £0 down, £49/month, properly local.
Hove is four miles east of Shoreham Beach, ten minutes along the A259, or a short hop on the train via Aldrington and Hove stations. Between Church Road, the BN3 grid streets and Hove Lawns, the town has a distinct small-business character: more independent professional services than Brighton, more boutique retail than Worthing, and a long row of cafés, restaurants and family-run shops along Church Road and Blatchington Road. If you run a small business in Hove and you want a website that punches above its weight on Google without paying agency prices, we can help.
Three Hove examples
What we'd build for Hove businesses
Every project starts with the same question: what's the right website for THIS business, in THIS town? Here are three concrete examples from Hove.
For a Hove boutique retailer
Considered, magazine-style design that fits the Church Road aesthetic. Mobile-first. Google Business Profile, schema with your BN3 address, and search optimisation for 'gift shop Hove' alongside the longer 'Church Road' and 'Blatchington Road' walk-by searches.
For a Hove professional services firm
Hove clients want quiet competence, not noisy marketing. Clean and confident design: proper service pages, partner bios, schema-marked BN3 address, and content that ranks for 'solicitor Hove' without pretending to be Brighton.
For a Hove creative agency or studio
Portfolio-led. Fast. Properly designed — not a given in the Brighton & Hove studio market. SEO that targets the 'Hove' search separately from 'Brighton', because the markets are different and Google knows it.
Got a Hove business that doesn't fit these examples?
Get in touch anyway. The approach is the same.

Questions from Hove businesses
-
Yes. Hove is a ten-minute drive from our office. We're happy to meet at a Church Road café, at a co-working space in BN3, or at your premises. Hove is one of our regular catchment areas and we know it well.
-
We're a one-person operation with one developer (me, Mark) doing the design, code and ongoing support. That keeps prices low (£49/month versus the £1,500+ upfront many Brighton agencies charge) and means you talk to the person who built your site, not an account manager. For most small businesses in Hove, that's the right fit. For very large or complex projects, a Brighton agency might still be better. But ask us first.
-
We cover most of Sussex, but our nearest pages for towns near Hove are: Brighton and Shoreham-by-Sea. Same approach, same pricing. If your town isn't on the list yet, just get in touch and we'll build you a site anyway.
-
We have two monthly options. Foundation is £49/month and gives you a professional one-page website with multiple sections, unlimited edits, professional hosting and a complete redesign every three years. Pro is £149/month and gives you up to five pages, advanced SEO, Google Business Profile setup and monthly strategy recommendations. Both are also available as one-off payments (£1,490 and £2,990 respectively) if you'd prefer to own the site outright.
-
Yes. Every site we build comes with proper on-page SEO baked in: optimised meta tags, structured data, fast loading times (we guarantee a green PageSpeed score), and mobile-friendly layout. Local SEO for your town is included as standard, so people searching for your service in your area can actually find you.
-
Most Foundation sites are live within two to three weeks from kick-off. Pro sites with more pages typically take three to four weeks. We don't pad timelines. Once we have your content and brand assets, we get on with the build.
-
Edits are included in both monthly plans, with no extra fees. Want to add a new service, swap a photo or update your prices? Just send us an email and we'll handle it: usually within a day or two on Foundation, same-day on Pro.
-
We focus on what we're good at: small business websites and local SEO. We don't do social media management, branding from scratch or paid advertising campaigns. If you need those, we can recommend people we trust. We do, however, set up your Google Business Profile and basic Google Analytics so you can see what's working.
