Talk it through → Why it matters
A web designer who actually knows Littlehampton
Iām Spencer — a Brighton-based freelance web designer and former British 800m Champion, now putting 10+ years of marketing experience into helping businesses in Littlehampton grow online. Iāve worked directly with 55+ businesses, from sole traders to established firms, and built 100+ WordPress websites along the way. More about how I work is on my about page.
Whether you need a simple brochure site, an online shop or a complete digital presence, I handle the whole process — design, development, SEO setup and launch. Everything is built on WordPress, so you can update it yourself without calling me every time a price or an opening time changes.
Littlehampton is a harbour town at heart. The River Arun runs down through the middle, past the working fishing quay and the marina, and out into the Channel between East Beach and West Beach. The seafront promenade carries the famous Longest Bench in Britain, Harbour Park sits where the river meets the sea, and thereās a genuine independent trade along Beach Road and Surrey Street. A web design agency in a distant city doesnāt feel any of that — I build sites that reflect the town people actually visit.
Most agencies charge for account managers, office overheads and layers of project management youāll never benefit from. Working with me, you deal directly with the person designing and building the site — no middleman, no inflated quote, no being passed between departments. Plenty of my Littlehampton clients simply wanted a web designer who answers the phone. What you get working with me instead of a larger agency:
Direct communication with the person building your site
Custom WordPress design, not a reskinned template
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
A designer you can actually meet, not a call centre

Local knowledge
The kinds of Littlehampton businesses I build for
Littlehampton has an unusual trading mix — independents along Beach Road and Surrey Street, a seafront and promenade economy built around Harbour Park, the Longest Bench and the beaches, a working fishing quay on the Arun, and trades and professional firms serving the surrounding villages. Each one needs a different website.
Seafront and promenade businesses
Cafés, kiosks and attractions along the promenade and around Harbour Park live or die on a phone screen in someoneās hand on the beach. Opening hours, good photographs and a tap-to-call number matter far more than a clever homepage animation.
Beach Road and Surrey Street independents
The independent shops, galleries and eateries along Beach Road and Surrey Street depend on the map pack. A clear site with proper local SEO puts you in front of both residents and the summer visitors walking up from the seafront.
Cafés, food and drink
With the beaches, the Longest Bench and Harbour Park pulling families in all summer, food and drink businesses here need bookings, menus that are easy to keep current, and pages that hold up when a sunny Saturday sends traffic through the roof.
Fishing quay and marine trades
The working quay on the River Arun supports boat services, chandlery, angling and marine trades that customers hunt for online. A straightforward, credible site turns those searches into calls to the right people on the river.
Trades covering the villages
If youāre a builder, electrician, plumber or landscaper based in Littlehampton, your patch runs out through Rustington, East Preston, Wick, Climping and Angmering. That needs proper service-area pages, not one line listing village names.
Professional firms and services
Accountants, solicitors, surveyors and consultants in Littlehampton are often up against firms in Worthing or Chichester. The website has to look every bit as considered as theirs, and load just as quickly, to win the enquiry.
Whichever of those you are, the build follows the same honest process: a fixed quote, a free mockup before you commit a penny, and a WordPress site you own outright at the end of it.

What I offer
Web design services for Littlehampton businesses
Custom-built, not pulled from a template. Every site reflects your business, your services and the part of Littlehampton or the villages you actually work in.
Custom WordPress web design
Every website I build is custom-designed for your business — no templates, no cookie-cutter layouts. Whether youāre a seafront café, a Surrey Street retailer or a professional firm, Iāll create something that reflects your brand and makes it easy for customers to get in touch. Mobile responsive across all devices as standard.
Local SEO for Littlehampton
Every site includes SEO setup targeting the town. Iāll optimise your pages for searches ending in āLittlehamptonā, set up your Google Business Profile, build local citations and make sure you show up when someone nearby searches for what you do. The competition here is lighter than Brighton or Worthing, so a well-optimised site can climb quickly.
Ecommerce and online shops
Need to sell online? I build WooCommerce stores on WordPress — product catalogues, payment processing (Apple Pay, Google Pay, cards, PayPal), shipping configuration and stock management. The independent retail scene in Littlehampton is strong, and a shop extends your reach well beyond the summer visitors.
Hosting and ongoing support
I offer managed hosting from £10/month — security updates, backups, plugin updates and uptime monitoring — with care plans from £30/month if youād like content changes handled too. Already have hosting? I can work with your existing setup. No mandatory fees holding your website hostage.
Branding and logo design
Starting something new by the harbour, or refreshing a brand thatās tired? I offer logo design, brand identity, and social media branding alongside the website, so your look is consistent everywhere. Many Littlehampton clients combine a new site with a brand refresh — itās the most cost-effective way to relaunch.
WordPress web design in Littlehampton
Every site I build for Littlehampton clients is a WordPress site. That means no monthly platform fees, full ownership of your content, and the freedom to change host or developer whenever you want.
- Bespoke design built around your business
- No monthly website-builder subscription
- Straightforward editing, with a guide provided
- Room to add ecommerce or bookings later

All of it included as standard. Fixed price, no retainer.

Towns I cover nearby
Most of my clients here also sell into the towns around them — Worthing along the coast to the east, Arundel four miles up the Arun, Bognor Regis and Chichester to the west, and Brighton about an hour by train. If youād like a page targeting one of those as well, hereās where each one lives:
The process
Steps I take to ensure a smooth process
Four stages, from that first conversation to a website you can run yourself.
First
Initial call or coffee
You tell me about your business, the customers you want to reach and what the website needs to do. Over Zoom, or in person in Littlehampton if thatās easier.
Then
Quote and mockup
Fixed price, no surprises. Iāll create a free mockup so you can see the direction before committing a penny.
After that
Design and build
I handle everything — design, content, local SEO setup for Littlehampton and the villages, mobile testing. Youāll see progress and can give feedback throughout.
Finally
Handover
Your finished website plus full training, so you can edit it yourself. No mandatory monthly fees holding your site hostage.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Still unsure about something? Ask me directly — I answer every enquiry personally.
Get a free quoteDo you have an office in Littlehampton?
No — Iām based in Brighton, about 40 minutes from Littlehampton via the A27 through Worthing. Most projects run smoothly over Zoom and email, but Iām happy to meet face to face on the seafront or at your premises. My office is at Main Floor, Clarendon Mansions, 80 East St, Brighton BN1 1NF if youād prefer to visit.
How much does a website cost?
Most Littlehampton 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.
How long does a website take to build?
A straightforward 5-page website typically takes 2–3 weeks. Larger sites with more pages, ecommerce or complex features may take 4–8 weeks. Iāll give you a clear timeline during that first conversation, before anything is agreed.
Will my website be mobile friendly?
Every website I build is fully responsive and tested across iPhone, Android, tablet and desktop. Over 70% of local searches happen on mobile, so the site has to work perfectly on a phone — which matters even more in a seaside town where people are looking things up while walking the promenade. If you want the detail, Iāve written about what responsive web design actually means.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. I build on WordPress with an intuitive page builder. Add photos, update your services, change opening hours before a bank holiday weekend — all without calling me. Iāll train you during handover so you feel confident managing it yourself.
Do you offer SEO for Littlehampton businesses?
Every site includes basic SEO setup — page titles, meta descriptions, local keyword targeting and Google Business Profile optimisation. For ongoing work such as content, citations and link building I offer monthly retainers from £250/month. Littlehampton has real search demand but lighter competition than Brighton or Worthing, so ongoing SEO can make a real difference relatively quickly.
Do you cover Rustington, East Preston and the surrounding villages?
Yes. Most Littlehampton businesses I work with sell well beyond the town itself, so I build service-area pages covering the places you actually go: Rustington, East Preston, Wick, Climping and Angmering. Thatās how a trade based in Littlehampton ends up ranking for work in a village a few miles out.
Can you take over a website someone else built?
Often, yes. If itās already on WordPress I can usually adopt it, tidy it up and look after it from there — see WordPress support in Littlehampton. If itās stuck on a builder platform youāre renting, a rebuild usually costs less over two years than carrying on paying the subscription.
Do you work with businesses outside Littlehampton?
Yes. If youāre elsewhere along the coast I also work with businesses in Worthing, Arundel, Bognor Regis and Chichester, and across the wider West Sussex coast.
