    What I Offer Worthing Businesses

    Whether you need a simple brochure site, an online shop, or a complete digital presence, I handle the full process — design, development, SEO setup, and launch. Everything is built on WordPress, so you can update it yourself without calling me every time you want to change something.

    Plenty of my clients simply wanted a web designer in Worthing who answers the phone — that personal service is exactly what I offer.

    Hiring a freelance web designer in Worthing means lower overheads and a direct line to the person actually building your site.

    Custom WordPress Web Design

    Every website I build is custom-designed for your business — no templates, no cookie-cutter layouts. Whether you’re a Worthing retailer on Montague Street, a tradesperson covering Broadwater and Tarring, or a professional services firm on the seafront, 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.

    Search Engine Optimisation

    Every site includes SEO setup targeting your local area. I’ll optimise your pages for searches like “[your service] Worthing”, set up your Google Business Profile, build local citations, and make sure your site shows up when people search for what you do in West Sussex. Worthing is a competitive market with a growing business community — standing out online is essential.

    I don’t just work with businesses in Worthing, I also offer SEO in Goring-by-Sea and surrounding towns too, so feel free to get in touch for a free quote.

    Ecommerce and Online Shops

    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. Worthing has a strong independent retail scene and an ecommerce store extends your reach well beyond the town centre and seafront.

    Hosting and Ongoing Support

    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.

    Why Worthing Businesses Choose a Freelancer Over an Agency

    Worthing has a thriving business community — from the town centre and Broadwater to Tarring, Goring-by-Sea, and the surrounding villages. But you don’t need to pay agency prices to get a professional website.

    Most 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. I’ve already built sites for Worthing businesses — including L&V Electrical, a local electrician who needed a site that generated real enquiries.

    I’m based in Brighton — about 25 minutes from Worthing along the A27. I regularly meet clients locally, at their premises, or over Zoom. I understand the West Sussex market and I know what works for local businesses here.

    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

    Unlike the bigger Worthing agencies, I don’t lock you into monthly contracts. You own your website, your domain, and your content. If you ever want to move on, everything is yours.

    Worthing Client Spotlight: L&V Electrical

    L&V Electrical are a Worthing-based electrician covering West Sussex. They needed a professional website that would generate enquiries from local homeowners and businesses — not just look good.

    I built them a custom WordPress site with local SEO targeting Worthing, Lancing, and the surrounding areas. The site includes service pages, a clear call-to-action structure, mobile-responsive design, and fast loading speeds.

    The result? A website that ranks locally and brings in consistent enquiries from across West Sussex.
