Professional one-page websites for Brighton’s traders, independents and small businesses, fast, affordable, and free of agency overheads.
Web design in Brighton does not have to mean a city-agency invoice. Brighton is packed with studios that charge thousands and then hand you a WordPress site you have to wrestle with yourself. For a sole trader or a small firm, that is overkill. Page Forge gives Brighton businesses a professional, fast-loading website for a fraction of that cost, with none of the maintenance headaches, from £99.
We are based in Hassocks, about seven miles north of the city, a short drive or a quick train. We do not pretend to have a North Laine office. What we do is build a page that loads fast, reads properly on a phone, and is set up so Google and ChatGPT can tell what you do and where you work. Whether you are a plumber covering Hanover and Kemptown, a therapist working across the city, or an independent that finally needs a proper site, the job is the same.
Brighton and Hove together have a resident population of about 283,870, and the wider conurbation is larger still. That is a lot of competition. Shouting at the whole city on one generic page rarely works. We focus the wording on the neighbourhoods and services you actually cover, then add the structured data and Google Business Profile that local search needs. Dedicated SEO in Brighton is the longer game if you want to push further.
On Your Doorstep
Brighton is a seaside town in East Sussex, 47 miles south of London, now one half of the city of Brighton and Hove. The old name Brighthelmstone is in the Domesday Book of 1086. It grew as a health resort and then, in the Georgian era, as a fashionable watering place under the Prince Regent, later George IV, who built the Royal Pavilion. The railway arrived in 1841 and turned day-trips from London into the town’s engine. The Grand Hotel, the Palace Pier and the West Pier are Victorian. Brighton and Hove merged as a borough in 1997 and received city status in 2000.
That history still shapes how people buy. It is a place that lives online, judges on looks, and moves quickly. A slow or generic site disappears against the Lanes, North Laine, Kemptown, Hanover and the seafront, each of which people search as if they were separate towns. Agencies in the city price for that density. We price for a small business that needs to be found, not for a brand campaign.
Hassocks is close enough that meeting is easy when it helps, and honest enough that we will not claim to be a Brighton agency. Most of the work happens by phone, email and video, which suits trades and small firms anyway. The site we build is the same standard we use in Mid Sussex: hand-coded, hosted in the UK, live in about five working days, with your .co.uk, SSL and six updates a year included.
Hove, Portslade, Rottingdean, Woodingdean and Ovingdean sit in the same search cluster. If your work is really Hove-first, use the Hove page. If you want to be quoted when someone asks ChatGPT for a recommendation in Brighton, that is the GEO work, from £99.
