Page Forge is a web design and IT business in Hassocks. Here’s the full list of what we do, so you can see where we fit and what we could take off your plate.
Most small businesses end up juggling a web designer, an SEO person, whoever set up their email and a nephew who once fixed the printer. It’s a lot of separate conversations for something that should just work.Page Forge is one number for all of it.
It started with websites: fast, professional one-page sites that load quickly, work properly on a phone and bring in enquiries, all for £99 to set up and £29 a month. That’s still the core of what we do, and for a lot of local trades and independents it’s the whole job. But a website on its own isn’t much use if nobody finds it, so we handle the SEO too: the keyword research, the on-page work and the local signals that get you showing up on Google for the searches that actually matter.
The web is changing, and people increasingly ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude for a recommendation rather than scrolling a results page. AI optimisation makes sure those assistants understand your business and put you forward. Add Google Ads when you want to appear the instant someone’s ready to buy, and a properly set up Google Business Profile so you turn up on the map, and you’ve got the whole picture of how customers find a local firm today.
If you’ve already got a site somewhere you’ve outgrown, we’ll migrate it across without losing your ranking or dropping offline. Once it’s live we can keep it maintained, so hosting, backups and updates are handled and you never have to think about them. And behind all of that sits twenty years of IT experience: our IT & AI consulting line brings enterprise-grade help with Microsoft 365, the cloud, security and AI to businesses your size, as fixed-price projects with no lock-in.
You don’t have to take all of it. Pick the one thing you need today and add the rest when it makes sense. Everything below links through to a page with the detail. Not sure where to start? Get in touch and we’ll point you the right way, even if the honest answer is that you don’t need us yet.
Prices stay on the tin. A one-page site is £99 setup plus £29 a month, or £299 a year. SEO from £99. GEO from £99. Google Ads from £99. Analytics from £99. Shops, multi-page builds and IT work are quoted to match. IT consulting prices are not a website package: they are scoped per project on the IT consulting page, and we do not sell a monthly helpdesk.
What we do
Each service has its own page with the full detail. Start with one, add the rest when it helps.
Fast, professional one-page websites for small businesses, everything included and live in about five working days. No WordPress, no bloat, from £99 setup and £29 a month.
Need more than one page? Bigger sites with services, portfolios and blogs, built to the same clean standard. Scoped and quoted to match what you actually need.
Sell online without the usual headaches. Product pages, a proper checkout and payments set up cleanly, so buying from you is as easy as it should be.
Get found on Google for the searches that bring in work. Keyword research, on-page optimisation and local search signals, from £99 one-off.
Generative Engine Optimisation: structured data and answer-first content so ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude understand your business and recommend it. From £99 one-off.

The free listing that puts you on the map, literally. Set up or cleaned up properly so you appear in local results and Google Maps when nearby customers search.
Moving off Wix, Squarespace or an old WordPress site? We bring your content across, keep your Google ranking intact and switch it over with no downtime.
Hosting, updates, backups and the odd change handled for you, so your site stays fast, secure and current while you get on with running the business.
Enterprise IT expertise, small-business friendly. Fixed-price help with Microsoft 365, cloud, security and AI, plus a fractional IT director. Advisory, never a lock-in.
Regulated businesses
If a regulator says what your website must show, we build it in from the start, written in plain English and ready for your compliance sign-off. From £99.
Mortgage brokers, financial advisers and insurance brokers. Regulatory status, risk warnings and fee disclosure built in, ready for your compliance sign-off.
Solicitors and law firms. Published price and service information, your complaints procedure, SRA number and the live digital badge.
Your fees list including VAT, client money protection certificate, redress scheme and a fixed asking rent on every listing.
Care homes, home care agencies, GP practices and clinics. Your CQC rating displayed the way Regulation 20A requires.
Written to the ASA and CAP rules on Botox, fillers and before and after photos, with a consultation-led homepage.
Who each is for
The one-page website is for trades and independents who need to be found and rung. Electricians, heating engineers, builders, bands, bakeries: one fast page with the services people search, the towns you cover, and a tap-to-call number. Live in about five working days. See web design across Sussex or websites for tradespeople. Real examples sit in our work.
Multi-page and custom sites are for firms that need dedicated service pages, a blog, or tools a builder cannot fake. Sindall in Haywards Heath is a multi-page rebuild off Wix. C4C Group is a custom Astro build with calculators WordPress would not host. Those are quoted. They are not squeezed into the £99 one-pager.
Compliance-ready websites are for regulated businesses where the law or a regulator says what the website must show: FCA-regulated advisers, SRA-regulated law firms, letting and estate agents, CQC-registered care providers and aesthetics clinics. We build the required information in and work to your compliance team’s sign-off, as we did for Clermont Mortgage Solutions.
An online shop is for selling products with a proper checkout, not a PDF price list. Ruby’s Bakery is the closest public example: a catalogue we keep current for them. Shops are quoted. SEO is for anyone who already has a site, ours or not, and wants the local searches that bring work. GEO is the same idea for ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. Google Business Profile sits with local SEO: categories, photos, the map pack. Google Ads is for when you need the phone to ring this week while the organic side is still warming up.
Migration is for a site you have outgrown on Wix, Squarespace, WordPress or GoDaddy. Maintenance is hosting, backups and the six included updates on a site we look after. IT consulting is a different product, and ongoing strategic help is our fractional IT director service: decisions and projects, not tickets. If you want a helpdesk, we will tell you to hire an MSP rather than pretend we are one.
