Website Creation & Hosting Across Sussex, Surrey & the wider UK
Working with founders and small businesses across West Sussex, East Sussex and Surrey.
Your website is often the first impression people get of your business. I design, build, and host clean, mobile-friendly sites that look professional and actually convert visitors into clients. From single-page portfolios to full multi-page sites with contact forms and analytics.
be honest for a sec
Why bother with a new website?
Because the one you've got is either three years old, built on a template that looks like every other template, or a half-finished Squarespace site you started and never touched again.
(No judgement. You've been busy running a business.)
The right site does three things: makes you look legit, helps people find you, and stops costing you opportunities every time someone googles you and lands on something from 2023.
what's possible
What I can build
Every project is different, so every site is too. Here are some of the things I can bring to your website, we'll chat about what makes sense for you and shape a package that fits.
Custom Design
A bespoke design tailored to your brand — colours, fonts, imagery, and layout that feel unmistakably you.
Fully Responsive Build
Sites built to look brilliant on every device — desktop, tablet, and mobile. No pinching and zooming required.
Contact Forms
Smart forms that notify you instantly when someone gets in touch. Clean, reliable, and easy for your visitors to use.
SEO & Analytics Setup
Search engine optimisation and Google Analytics can be configured from day one, so you can be found and see who's visiting.
Hosting & Maintenance
I can host your site, handle security updates, and keep everything running smoothly so you never have to think about it.
Content Updates
Need to change your pricing, add a testimonial, or update your portfolio? Ongoing content updates can be bundled into a monthly plan.
pick your package
Hand-built, not templated
Every site is built by hand, in code, specifically for your business. No off-the-shelf template, no drag-and-drop builder, no subscription ticking over every month just to keep the lights on.
Two build packages. Pick the one that fits. If you're not sure, we'll work it out on a call.
Starter Site
look legit, quickly
Up to 4 pages. Home, about, services, contact (or whatever combination makes sense). Mobile responsive, SEO basics built in, Google Analytics hooked up. Everything a founder needs to look credible online, nothing you don't.
- Up to 4 custom pages
- Mobile-first responsive design
- On-page SEO basics
- Google Analytics setup
- Contact form with email notifications
- 2–3 week turnaround
Business Site
treat your site like a lead gen tool
Up to 7 pages. Everything in Starter, plus a blog, newsletter signup, FAQs, schema markup, and Google Search Console. For businesses ready to treat their website as a lead generator, not a business card.
- Up to 7 custom pages
- Everything in Starter
- Blog set-up
- Newsletter signup
- FAQ section & schema markup
- Google Search Console
- 3–4 week turnaround
Both packages are billed 50% deposit to start, 50% on completion. No lock-in, no surprise fees.
what happens after launch
Three ways to keep it running
Pick the one that matches how hands-on you plan to be. All monthly tiers are rolling — 30 days notice, leave whenever.
Host
set and forget
Hosting, SSL, weekly backups, uptime monitoring. That's it, no edits included. Best for founders who genuinely won't touch their site once it's live. Any edits down the line are billed at £40/hour as needed.
- Reliable hosting
- SSL certificate
- Weekly backups
- Uptime monitoring
- Ad-hoc edits at £40/hour
Care
most founders start here
Hosting, SSL, weekly backups, uptime monitoring, plus 30 minutes of edits a month and a quarterly health check. For founders who tweak things now and then and want someone on call to handle it. The sensible default.
- Everything in Host
- 30 minutes of edits / month
- Quarterly site health check
- Priority response on fixes
Grow
your site as a growth tool
Everything in Care, plus 1 hour of edits a month, a monthly analytics summary in plain English, and an annual SEO review. For businesses using their site as a proper growth tool, not just a digital business card.
- Everything in Care
- 1 hour of edits / month
- Monthly analytics summary
- Annual SEO review
Edit hours don't roll over, so use them or lose them. Updates go through me, which keeps everything consistent and stops you losing your Sunday to a platform you've forgotten how to use.
how it works
The process
Four steps, a few weeks, one website. Here's how it goes from a call to a live site.
We talk it through
A quick call to get the measure of your business. What's it for, who's it for, and what do you want the site to actually do. No tech talk, no jargon. Just a proper conversation so I can quote you a tier that fits.
You send the bits, I make the plan
Copy, images, logo, domain. The lot. Once it's all in, I map out the site structure, flag anything missing, and confirm what you'll get back and when. No surprises later.
I build, you review
I disappear for a couple of weeks and come back with a real, working website. Not a mood board. Not a Figma file you can't click. You'll get a chance to flag anything that isn't quite right, and I'll sort it.
Live, and looked after
Once you're happy, the site goes live. From that day, you're on a monthly tier (Care, Grow, or Host), so someone's keeping an eye on it. Backups, updates, the lot. That's it.
