Is Your Website Costing Your Business in Crawley Customers Every Day?

Tired of watching competitors get all the online business while your website sits ignored? You’re not alone – and it’s costing you more than you think.

Most Crawley businesses struggle with:

  • Websites buried on page 2 of Google (where nobody looks)
  • Outdated designs that look unprofessional on mobile
  • Zero phone calls or emails from their website
  • Paying £50+ monthly for ‘maintenance’ with nothing to show for it

Your website should be your best salesperson, working 24/7 to bring in new customers. If it’s not generating leads right now, you’re literally losing money every single day to competitors who figured this out.

That’s where we come in.

Local to Crawley, our website designers specialise in developing WordPress websites that actually work for your business. We offer full website design and build services as well as ongoing support and maintenance – but more importantly, we create websites that convert visitors into paying customers.

Our team is experienced in the latest WordPress updates to ensure your site remains secure and up-to-date with the latest features. We understand that every project requires a different approach, so we work closely with our clients to develop custom solutions that drive real business results.

We’ve helped dozens of local businesses transform their online presence, from small startups to established companies throughout Crawley, Brighton, Horsham, and West Sussex. Our WordPress developers understand that customer satisfaction is key to any project’s success, which is why we always strive to provide the highest quality services at competitive prices – with results you can measure in increased leads and sales.

Benefits of Responsive Websites

Responsive websites are designed to automatically adjust and look great on any device, from smartphones and tablets to laptops and desktops. In Crawley, where more than half of all web traffic comes from mobile platforms, having a responsive website is no longer optional—it’s essential. Responsive web design ensures that every visitor enjoys a seamless experience, no matter how they access your site, which keeps them engaged and encourages them to take action.

For businesses, the benefits go beyond user experience. Responsive websites are favored by search engines like Google, helping your site rank higher and attract more visitors. This increased visibility can lead to more enquiries, more sales, and a stronger online presence. By making your website accessible and functional across all devices, you not only stay ahead of the competition but also show your customers that you care about their experience. In the ever-evolving digital landscape, responsive web design is the key to reaching your audience wherever they are and achieving your online business goals.

Our Web Design Process

When taking on any new website build, we believe in following a structured process when it comes to website design. We have identified five key steps that must be undergone during the design process.

1

Consultation

We always like to jump on a call to discuss the project at hand, during this initial consultation, we will review the client’s requirements to determine the best design approach that fits their needs. We can also produce a free mockup to show the client how their website could look like.

Contact us via phone or email to schedule your free consultation.

2

Planning and Website Design

After our consultation, we will begin to plan the design of the website. We will create a wireframe to outline the structure and content flow of the website using Figma or Photoshop, our designers will then develop an aesthetic that reflects the brand’s identity and message.
3

Website Development

With a design established, we will start to develop the WordPress site. This involves setting up the content management system, selecting plugins and customizing themes to create a bespoke website that is tailored specifically to our clients needs.
4

Testing and Quality Assurance

Once the site has been built, we will test it across different browsers, devices and platforms. This ensures that the website functions properly and looks great on all screen sizes. We will then refine any of the features or content based on feedback from the client.
5

Hand over

Upon approval from the client, our team will hand over the website with detailed instructions and support. Each website is built using editors such as DIVI, WP Bakery or Elementor, so it can be easily updated by the client using their drag and drop features.
