Solving Your Digital Problems

Every day your website stays broken, outdated, or invisible on Google, you’re handing paying customers to your competitors.

I see it all the time: websites that look like they were built in 2010, take forever to load on mobile, don’t show up when locals search for what you do, and don’t reflect your brand identity. Meanwhile, competitors with professional websites are booking the clients that should be yours.

Your website should be your best salesperson, working 24/7 to bring in new business. Instead, it’s probably your biggest liability – turning away customers before they ever pick up the phone.

The good news? It doesn’t have to stay this way. I’ve helped dozens of Brighton businesses transform their online presence from embarrassing to profitable. And I can do the same for you.

Whether you’re a startup needing a new website, looking to escape a website builder like Wix, or ready to rebrand and rebuild — I’m here to help.

Does your website let your business down? Your website should showcase your expertise and turn visitors into paying customers. Unfortunately, most websites do the complete opposite!

You’re not alone if you’re frustrated watching competitors thrive online while your website sits there doing nothing.

Across Brighton and Sussex, I see the same problems holding businesses back:

  • Invisible on Google – Your website is buried on page 2 where nobody looks
  • Looks outdated on mobile – Customers judge your professionalism in 3 seconds
  • Zero enquiries coming in – Your website isn’t converting visitors into customers
  • Expensive monthly fees – Paying £50+ for ‘maintenance’ with nothing to show for it
  • Slow and unreliable – Loading times that make customers bounce to competitors

Your website should be your hardest-working employee, generating leads and sales 24/7. If it’s not, you’re literally losing money every single day to competitors who’ve figured this out.

The cost of doing nothing? Watching your competitors grow while you stay stuck.

I’m a Brighton-based WordPress designer who understands what local businesses really need: websites that actually work for your business, not against it.

Here’s how I transform struggling websites into profit-generating machines:

  • WordPress sites that rank on Google – I build SEO into every page from day one
  • Mobile-responsive designs that convert – Your site looks perfect on every device
  • Lead generation that works – Clear calls-to-action that turn visitors into customers
  • Reliable, fast performance – No more losing customers to slow loading times
  • Ongoing support included – I’m here when you need me, not just for the launch

The difference? I don’t just build websites – I build business growth tools.

I’ve helped 55+ businesses across Brighton, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, and throughout Sussex transform their online presence. From small startups to established companies, I create custom WordPress solutions that deliver measurable results.

Why should I choose a local web design company in Brighton?

Choosing me for your Brighton web design project means working with someone who understands the local market. Based in Brighton, I have deep knowledge of the business landscape, consumer preferences, and competitive environment. My local expertise allows me to create websites that resonate with Brighton audiences — with the convenience of face-to-face meetings at my office or a local coffee shop.

How long do websites projects take?

The turnaround time for websites varies massively from project to project. The main factor is content and complexity. Typically for a 5-page web design project, I normally turn these around in 7-10 days. If you are looking for a larger website around 10-15 pages which requires further web development, I allow for around 3-5 weeks.

Do you offer Search Engine Optimisation? We want to rank on page 1

Yes. SEO is key to ranking on Google. All of my websites are built with on-page SEO fundamentals. For ongoing optimisation, I offer monthly SEO packages depending on your goals. I also offer digital marketing services — get in touch to learn more.

My office is at Main Floor, Clarendon Mansions, 80 East St, Brighton, BN1 1NF. Meetings to discuss your web design requirements are by appointment. Call 01273 011148 to arrange.

I am based outside of Brighton, can we still work together?

I’m a local web designer in Brighton, working with businesses across Sussex and Surrey. Most of my clients are in Brighton and Hove, East Sussex. If you’re further afield, Zoom or Google Meet works well.

What builders do you use for your Website Development?

All of my websites are developed with WordPress or Shopify. For WordPress builds, I use either WP Bakery or DIVI — visual builders that let you make changes yourself once the site is built.

What is responsive web design?

Responsive web design is ensuring the website renders well across all devices, such as phones, tablets, or desktops, improving the usability and experience for the user.
