Fast, professional websites for Chichester’s independents, trades and professional firms. Built by a Sussex designer, live in days, everything included, from £99.
Chichester is a cathedral city and the county town of West Sussex, which means the bar for looking credible is a little higher here than in most places. It is a city of independent shops, professional firms, visitor businesses and trades serving the harbour villages all around it, and they compete for the same searches. A sharp, fast website is how you keep up, and how you make sure a good business is not let down by a tired page. Everything included, live in about a week, from £99.
With around 29,400 people at the 2021 census, plus a wide rural catchment and a steady flow of visitors drawn by the cathedral, the theatre and the racing at Goodwood, Chichester has real demand across almost every trade and service. But it is a crowded market, and people research thoroughly online before they commit, especially for anything they will pay decent money for. A slow or dated site undersells a good business, and a missing one hands the work to whoever turned up first in the results, no matter how good the competitor actually is. In a city this size the search results are your shop window.
You do not need to know anything technical, and there are no logins to manage or WordPress updates to chase. Tell us what you do and who you want to reach, and we handle the design, the words, your .co.uk domain, the UK hosting, the SSL and a matching email address, then look after it afterwards. Chichester is a fair distance from us in Hassocks, so we work with businesses here mostly by phone, email and video, with a visit when it genuinely helps. We build for firms right across West Sussex, including trades like Sussex builders and electricians, so you get someone who answers the phone.
On Your Doorstep
Chichester sits in the west of West Sussex and serves as the county town. Its street plan is genuinely Roman: the city was Noviomagus Reginorum, capital of the Civitas Reginorum, and North, South, East and West streets still radiate from the centre exactly as they did then. The Roman city walls survive on their original foundations, and the medieval Chichester Cross, built around 1501 as a covered marketplace, still stands where the four streets meet. Few English cities wear their history quite so plainly, and that history is part of why people come and part of what a local business can lean on.
The cathedral defines the skyline. Chichester Cathedral was founded in the 11th century, is dedicated to the Holy Trinity, holds the shrine of Saint Richard of Chichester, and is unusual in Britain for having a separate bell tower. Just outside the city, Fishbourne Roman Palace preserves one of the largest collections of Roman mosaics in the country, and the Chichester Festival Theatre is a well-known producing and touring venue that draws people into the city all year rather than just in summer. That year-round footfall is good news for anyone trading here.
The setting matters for local trade too. Chichester Harbour, a protected stretch of coast and creeks, sits to the south west, and the racing and events at nearby Goodwood bring in visitors and money throughout the season. Chichester, or Goodwood, Airport is close by as well. For a customer, a business that references this real geography reads as properly local, and that is exactly what search engines increasingly reward over copy that could describe any city in the country. It is the difference between blending in and being the obvious choice.
For getting around and getting found, Chichester station is on the West Coastway line with services to Brighton, London Victoria via Gatwick, Portsmouth and Southampton. The A27 trunk road runs along the south of the city, the A259 follows the coast, and the A286 and A285 head north into the Downs. Neighbouring places include Fishbourne, Bosham, Lavant and Tangmere, and a customer’s idea of local usually stretches across all of them. Whether you run an independent shop in the four streets, a professional firm, or a trade covering the harbour villages, we write your site so it clearly belongs to Chichester, because it does, then set it up to load fast and be found by the people already searching for what you do.
Also covering: Fishbourne, Bosham, Lavant, Tangmere, Bognor Regis, Arundel and the surrounding villages.
