Hove, East Sussex · web design and website help · from £500

Web designer for Hove businesses

A local-looking website for Hove, built by one developer who answers by email. New sites from £500, or help with the Squarespace, Wix or WordPress site you already have. People in Hove look you up on the seafront, often on a weak signal; the page has to answer in one screen.

Hove sits in East Sussex, near Brighton and Eastbourne. The people searching it are visitors on the front and residents who search before the walk into town. Seaside trade is seasonal, so hours and prices have to be right on the day.

A Hove site has a short job: say what you do, where you are, what it costs and how to book or get in touch. If that only lives on a social app, it disappears when the app is closed and it never appears when someone types "Hove" into Google.

I build the public site and a private page so you can change photos, prices and hours yourself. If you already have a site on Squarespace, Wix, Shopify or WordPress, I can fix it or look after it monthly instead. Send a brief and I usually reply within 48 hours with a free homepage mock-up and a fixed written quote. Nothing is payable until you accept it.

What a Hove business needs on its website

These are the details people check on the seafront, often on a weak signal, before they choose you over the next result.

  • A clear next step

    Call, book or send a message from the first screen. In Hove, most visits start on a phone, not a laptop.

  • Hours that match the door

    Weekdays, weekends and early closing. Someone coming from Brighton should not guess from an old post.

  • Prices or a menu on the page

    Put the figures you actually charge where they can be read without downloading a file. That is what people in Hove compare before they commit.

  • Hove named in plain text

    Google reads words, not intentions. The page says Hove and East Sussex where it matters, so a search for the town has a reason to show you.

  • Photos you can swap

    Shop front, work, food or products. You update them yourself so the page stays honest as the year changes in Hove.

  • Your Google profile, kept in step

    This page opens Hove on Google Maps. Link the Google Business Profile you already have so reviews stay live next to the hours and prices on the site.

Squarespace, Wix and WordPress help in Hove

Already have a website? You do not need a rebuild to get help with it. I work on sites I did not build, through a collaborator invite, so the account stays yours.

  • Squarespace help

    Fix the layout that broke on mobile, update prices and hours, sort the contact form, or tidy the SEO settings. One agreed fault is a £50 fix; ongoing edits sit in monthly care.

  • Wix help

    Slow pages, images that never load, a booking button that goes nowhere. I check the public site first and tell you what is actually wrong before you pay for anything.

  • WordPress and Shopify help

    Theme updates that moved things, plugins that stopped working, products with the wrong price. I keep the fix small and documented so your Hove site stays yours.

  • Monthly website care

    From £30 a month: a check of the homepage and the contact journey, the content edits you agree, and a short summary. Rolling monthly, cancel any time.

Hove, in useful terms

Hove is a East Sussex town with its own searches, its own high street and its own competition. A page built for Hove should read like it belongs there, not like "we cover the UK" with the town name swapped in.

I am based in Surrey and work with Hove businesses by email and video call. You do not need a meeting in Hove. The mock-up shows a homepage aimed at visitors on the front and residents who search before the walk into town, and the county page for East Sussex links back here.

How the packages fit a Hove business

If you mainly need a homepage with hours, a way to enquire and a short explanation of what you do in Hove, Launch from £500 is usually the starting point. Extra public pages sit in a higher band. The written quote says which band, and which admin tools are in.

  • Launch from £500

    A public website you can update yourself.

  • Scale

    More pages, plus more of the private admin you choose after we talk.

  • Connect

    A wider admin set when the day-to-day needs more than one extra tool.

  • Operate

    Another step up when several parts of the business need to live in one login.

  • Automate

    The fullest website band when you want more of the admin working together.

You choose the pages and the private admin after we talk. Nothing is payable until you accept the quote.

Yes. Send the address and what is wrong. One agreed fault is a £50 fix; if you want it kept accurate month to month, monthly care starts at £30. You keep the account and invite me as a collaborator.
