Do I need to use a local web designer?

Not strictly — but there are real advantages to working with someone who knows the area. We understand the Sussex market, we've worked with businesses across the county, and if you ever want to meet in person, that's easy to arrange. Most of our clients find that having a local contact they can actually speak to makes the whole process less stressful.

How do I get started?

The easiest way is to book a free 30-minute consultation. We'll talk through what you need, what you're hoping to achieve, and give you an honest recommendation — with no obligation and no hard sell. If we're a good fit, we'll put together a detailed proposal within 24 hours.

Who will I be dealing with?

You'll deal directly with the person designing and building your site throughout the project. There are no account managers or handoffs — just a consistent point of contact who knows your business.

How long does a website take to build?

For most builds, once we have your content — text, images, and any specific requirements — we work to a four-week turnaround. More complex projects may take six to eight weeks. The part that most often causes delays is waiting for content from the client, so we give clear guidance on what we need and when.

What do I need to provide?

Mainly your written content and any photos or images you want to use. We'll guide you through exactly what we need and in what format. If you don't have professional photography, we can advise on stock image options that work well for your industry.

Will my website work on mobile?

Yes — every site we build is fully responsive, meaning it adapts automatically to any screen size. We check and refine the mobile experience as a standard part of every build, not an afterthought.

What platform do you build on?

We build exclusively on Squarespace. It's the platform we know inside out, and we recommend it for most small businesses because it's secure, fast, easy for you to update yourself, and requires no ongoing plugin maintenance. If Squarespace isn't right for your project, we'll tell you honestly rather than push you into it.

Will my new website appear on Google?

Every website we build includes proper SEO foundations — page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, image alt tags, and a sitemap submitted to Google. This gives your site the best possible starting point for ranking. Getting to the top of Google for competitive search terms takes longer and depends on ongoing SEO work, but you won't be starting from scratch.

What's the difference between basic SEO and ongoing SEO?

Basic SEO foundations are included in every build — these are the technical elements that tell Google what your site is about. Ongoing SEO is a separate service where we actively work to improve your rankings over time: refining content, building local visibility, managing your Google Business Profile, and tracking what's working. Most businesses need both.

How long does SEO take to show results?

Honestly — it depends. For local searches in less competitive areas, you might see movement within a few months. For more competitive terms, it can take six months to a year of consistent work. Anyone promising you page one rankings in a matter of weeks is overpromising. We give you realistic expectations and transparent monthly reporting so you always know what's happening.

Do I need to be on Google Maps?

If you serve local customers, yes — a well-managed Google Business Profile is one of the most effective things you can do for local visibility. It's often the first thing people see when they search for a local service, and it's separate from your website ranking. We manage Google Business Profiles as part of our ongoing support service.

How much does a website cost?

Our websites start from £2,000 and are priced based on the size and complexity of the project. We provide a detailed proposal before any work begins, so you know exactly what you're getting and what it costs. There are no hidden fees.

Are there ongoing costs after launch?

Squarespace charges an annual or monthly subscription for hosting — this is paid directly to Squarespace and typically costs between £150 and £300 per year depending on the plan. Beyond that, ongoing costs are entirely up to you. We offer optional monthly support and SEO plans, but there's no obligation to use them.

What does your monthly support service include?

Our monthly support plans include content updates and edits, technical fixes, monthly SEO work, and Google Business Profile management. Plans start from £49 per month. We'll recommend what makes sense for your business rather than the most expensive option.

Can I update the website myself?

Yes — Squarespace is designed to be manageable without technical knowledge. We show you how to make basic updates as part of the handover process. For anything more involved, or if you'd rather not deal with it yourself, that's what our support plans are there for.

Which areas of Sussex do you cover?

We work with businesses across Sussex — including Brighton, Hove, Worthing, Crawley, Horsham, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, East Grinstead, Littlehampton, Chichester, and everywhere in between. Most of our work is done remotely, so location is rarely a barrier — but we're always happy to meet in person if that helps.
