Brighton
A freelance alternative to Brighton agencies
Brighton has no shortage of web agencies. What it's shorter on is one experienced person who'll build your site properly, do the SEO, and answer the phone themselves. I'm based just up the line in Hassocks, and that's how I work.

Why a freelancer
Agency quality, without the agency layers
Brighton has a busy digital scene, which is great if you're a big brand with a big budget. For a small business it often means account managers, handovers between teams and paying towards a city-centre office.
Working with me, the person you speak to is the person doing the work - from the first call to the day your site goes live, and every SEO report after that.
No account managers or handovers
Pricing that reflects one person, not a building full of staff
A website you own outright, with no lock-in
A crowded market
From The Lanes to North Laine and out to Hove, Brighton businesses compete hard for the same local searches.
Searches that convert
People searching "near me" in a city this size are usually ready to book. Showing up in the map results matters.
Just up the line
I'm in Hassocks, a short train ride north - close enough to meet when it helps, though most work happens on calls.
Who I work with
Built for small Brighton businesses
I'm a good fit for owner-run businesses that want things done properly without the agency price tag.
01
Independents and hospitality
Shops, cafes and venues where the map results, reviews and a fast mobile site make the difference between a walk-in and a walk-past.
02
Clinics, salons and studios
Appointment-based businesses that need trust, clear treatment pages and booking that works - like the clinics and studios in my projects.
03
Trades and services
Service businesses covering Brighton, Hove and the surrounding area, who need clear service pages and an easy way to get a quote.

Brighton FAQ
Questions from Brighton businesses
Anything else, just ask. Happy to have a straightforward chat.
Why choose a freelancer over a Brighton agency?
You deal with one person throughout, decisions happen quickly, and you're not paying for an agency's overheads. The trade-off is capacity - I take on a limited number of projects at a time, so I can give each one proper attention.
Can you compete in a market as busy as Brighton?
Yes, but it takes focus. Rather than chasing broad terms dominated by big players, I target the specific services and neighbourhoods your customers actually search for, and make sure your Google Business Profile is doing its job.
Do we need to meet?
Not usually - most of my work happens over phone and video calls. I'm in Hassocks, a short train ride away, so we can meet in person if you'd prefer.
Do you work outside Brighton?
Yes - across Sussex, including Lewes, Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill, and with clients elsewhere in the UK.
