Talk it through → Why it matters
A web designer who can actually get to Seaford
I’m Spencer — a Brighton-based freelance web designer and former British 800m Champion, now putting 10+ years of marketing experience into helping businesses in Seaford grow online. I’ve 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 phone number changes.
Seaford sits beneath the chalk of Seaford Head, with the Seven Sisters stretching away along the coast and a long shingle beach running the length of the town. The Martello tower at the seafront now houses Seaford Museum, and the town keeps a distinctly local feel — a real high street rather than a row of chains. Most web design agencies charge for account managers, office overheads and layers of project management you’ll 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.
Seaford is a town where reputation travels fast. It has a strong retiree community and a genuinely independent retail economy along Broad Street and Church Street, so a generic template stands out for the wrong reasons. 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 a short drive away, not a call centre

Local knowledge
The kinds of Seaford businesses I build for
Seaford, a coastal town on the East Sussex shoreline, has an unusual trading mix — independents along Broad Street and Church Street, professional services working with a large retiree population, trades covering the surrounding villages, and a seasonal visitor economy drawn to Seaford Head and the beach. Each one needs a different website.
Broad Street and Church Street independents
Shops, cafés and independent retailers along Broad Street and Church Street live or die on the map pack. Opening hours, decent photographs of the actual shop and a phone number people can tap matter far more than a clever homepage animation.
Professional and care services
With a large retiree community in Seaford, solicitors, financial advisers, opticians, dentists and home-care providers all rely on being easy to find and easy to contact. The website has to look considered and load quickly on an older phone.
Seafront food and drink
Cafés, restaurants and pubs near the Esplanade and the shingle beach need bookings, menus that are easy to keep current, and pages that hold up when a sunny weekend sends walkers down off the Downs and onto the front.
Tourism and the coast
Seaford Head, the view of the Seven Sisters and the South Downs Way bring visitors all year. B&Bs, holiday lets, guides and the Martello-tower museum crowd need a booking route that works from a phone halfway up the cliff path.
Trades covering the villages
If you’re a builder, electrician, plumber or landscaper based in Seaford, your patch runs out through Bishopstone, East Blatchington, Alfriston and down to Newhaven. That needs proper service-area pages, not one line listing village names.
Makers and buy-local brands
The buy-local culture in Seaford is genuine, and it supports a lot of small producers, makers and community-minded businesses. An online shop lets that reach go well beyond the town without losing the local story.
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 Seaford businesses
Custom-built, not pulled from a template. Every site reflects your business, your services and the part of town 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 you’re a Broad Street retailer, a seafront café or a professional firm, I’ll 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 Seaford
Every site includes SEO setup targeting the town. I’ll optimise your pages for searches ending in “Seaford”, set up your Google Business Profile, build local citations and make sure you show up when someone nearby searches for what you do. Search competition here is lighter than the bigger towns, so a well-built 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 Seaford is strong, and a shop extends your reach well beyond Broad Street.
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 you’d like content changes handled too. Already have hosting? I can work with your existing setup. No mandatory fees holding your website hostage.
WordPress web design in Seaford
Every site I build for Seaford 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
More on how I build them on my WordPress web design page. If your site is already built and just needs looking after, see WordPress support and care plans.
All of it included as standard. Fixed price, no retainer.

Towns I cover nearby
Most of my clients in Seaford also sell into the towns around them — Newhaven along the coast, Lewes up the line, Eastbourne to the east, and Brighton about twenty-five minutes away. If you’d like a page targeting one of those as well, here’s 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 Seaford if that’s easier.
Then
Quote and mockup
Fixed price, no surprises. I’ll 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 Seaford and the villages, mobile testing. You’ll 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 quoteAre you based in Seaford?
I’m based in Brighton, roughly twenty-five minutes away along the A259, and I regularly meet clients in Seaford. Most communication happens over Zoom and email, but I’m always happy to meet face to face at your premises or over a coffee in town. My office is at Main Floor, Clarendon Mansions, 80 East St, Brighton BN1 1NF if you’d prefer to visit.
How much does a website cost?
Most Seaford 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. I’ll 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 town where a lot of people are looking things up while walking along Broad Street or the seafront. If you want the detail, I’ve 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. I’ll train you during handover so you feel confident managing it yourself.
Do you offer SEO for Seaford 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. The goal is simple: when someone in Seaford searches for what you do, you’re the one they find.
Do you cover Bishopstone, Alfriston and the surrounding villages?
Yes. Most Seaford businesses I work with sell well beyond the town itself, so I build service-area pages covering the places you actually go: Bishopstone, East Blatchington, Alfriston, Newhaven and along the coast. That’s how a trade based in Seaford ends up ranking for work in a village a few miles out.
Can you take over a website someone else built?
Often, yes. If it’s already on WordPress I can usually adopt it, tidy it up and look after it from there — see WordPress support and care plans. If it’s stuck on a builder platform you’re renting, a rebuild usually costs less over two years than carrying on paying the subscription.
Do you work with businesses outside Seaford?
Yes. If you’re elsewhere in East Sussex or further afield, I also work with businesses in Eastbourne, Newhaven, Lewes, Brighton, Worthing and Shoreham-by-Sea.
