I’m Spencer, a Brighton-based freelance web designer serving businesses across Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, and Mid Sussex. I build custom WordPress websites that look professional, work on mobile, and generate real enquiries for your business.
No agency fees. No templates. No monthly hostage contracts. Just a website built around your business, delivered by someone who knows the local market and can meet you for a coffee in town.
I’m Spencer — a Brighton-based freelance web designer and former British 800m Champion, now using 10+ years of marketing experience to help businesses across Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, and Mid Sussex grow online. I work with local businesses of all sizes, from sole traders to established companies.
Every website I build is custom-designed for your business — no templates, no cookie-cutter layouts. I’ll create something that reflects your brand, showcases your services, and makes it easy for Haywards Heath customers to get in touch. Mobile responsive across all devices as standard.
Every site includes SEO setup targeting your local area. I’ll optimise your pages for searches like “[your service] Haywards Heath”, set up your Google Business Profile, build local citations, and make sure your site shows up when people search for what you do in Mid Sussex.
Need to sell products online? I build WooCommerce stores on WordPress — product catalogues, payment processing (Apple Pay, Google Pay, cards, PayPal), shipping configuration, and stock management. Everything you need to start selling from Haywards Heath to anywhere in the UK.
I offer managed hosting from £10/month — security updates, backups, plugin updates, uptime monitoring. Your site stays secure and online. Already have hosting? I can work with your existing setup. No mandatory monthly fees holding your website hostage.
Most web design agencies charge for account managers, office overheads, and layers of project management you don’t need. Working with me, you deal directly with the person designing and building your website — no middleman, no inflated quotes, no being passed between departments.
I’m based in Brighton but I regularly meet clients in Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, and across Mid Sussex. I know the local market, I understand what works for businesses here, and I’ve built websites for plenty of them.
What you get working with me vs a larger agency:
* Direct communication with the person building your site
* Custom WordPress design, not reskinned templates
* SEO built in from day one, not sold as an expensive add-on
* Fixed pricing with no hidden monthly fees
* Ongoing support when you need it — not a ticket queue

I’m based in Brighton, but I regularly meet clients in Haywards Heath and across Mid Sussex — I’m a short drive or train ride away.

Most Haywards Heath businesses invest between £800-£3,000 for a complete WordPress website. A simple 5-page brochure site starts from £800, while larger sites with ecommerce, booking systems, or complex functionality may be £2,000-£5,000+. Every project gets a fixed quote upfront — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Get in touch for a free quote tailored to your needs.
A straightforward 5-page website typically takes 2-3 weeks. Larger sites with more pages, ecommerce, or complex features may take 4-8 weeks. I’ll give you a clear timeline during our initial conversation.
Every website I build is fully responsive and tested across iPhone, Android, tablet, and desktop. Over 70% of local searches happen on mobile — your site has to work perfectly on a phone.
Yes. I build on WordPress with an intuitive page builder. Add photos, update your services, change your contact details — all without calling me. I’ll train you during handover so you feel confident managing it yourself.
Every site includes basic SEO setup — page titles, meta descriptions, local keyword targeting, Google Business Profile optimisation. For ongoing SEO work (content creation, citation building, link building), I offer monthly retainers. My goal is to get you ranking for searches like “[your service] Haywards Heath” and “[your service] Mid Sussex”.
Yes — I also work with businesses across Sussex, including Burgess Hill, Crawley, Worthing, Shoreham-by-Sea, and Eastbourne. Wherever you’re based in Sussex, I can help with web design, SEO, and ongoing support.
