Serving Brighton · BN1, BN2, BN3

Websites for Brighton businesses

From Resident Music in the North Laine to the 50-odd traders at Brighton Open Market, BN1 runs on independents.

Brighton is two seafronts stitched into one city: Hove's wide, residential drag and central Brighton's tighter grid of independent shops, music venues and cafés. The North Laine alone runs to roughly 300 independents, and the Brilliant Brighton BID counts 517 trading members across the city centre. Most of them — a record shop on Kensington Gardens, a coffee roaster on Sydney Street, a stall at Brighton Open Market on London Road — are one or two people doing their own bookings.

Working with Brighton

The trade here is small and dense. Brilliant Brighton, the BID covering the central retail area, lists 517 member shops, salons, bars, cafés and restaurants. The North Laine adds another 300-odd independents in a few blocks. Brighton Open Market on Marshalls Row sits behind London Road with roughly 50 traders — fishmongers, fruit stalls, Swedish bakers. Operators like Pelicano Coffee on Sydney Street and Resident Music on Kensington Gardens are the typical scale: one shop, run by the owners. Tourism feeds it all — over 11 million visitors a year — so a one-page site with a clear booking link or menu earns its keep faster here than in most UK towns.

Every Brighton site is hand-coded, mobile-first, and shipped on its own domain. There's nothing for you to maintain — hosting, SSL, backups, updates and small content edits are all in the £25/month plan. You'll deal directly with me from brief to launch, by email or WhatsApp, in plain English.

Local economy

Real Brighton small businesses, not stock photos

Every Brighton brief lands somewhere on the same map of shops, salons, trades and indie operators. Here are some of the real Brighton businesses I've researched while writing this page — the kind of place a clean £25/month site is built for.

517 shops, salons, bars, cafés and restaurants are members of the Brilliant Brighton BID in the city centre.

Brighton & Hove City Council held a ballot on establishing a new central-Brighton Business Improvement District for a five-year term starting 1 July 2026 (https://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/council-and-democracy/voting-and-elections/brighton-bid-ballot).

FAQs

Brighton web design — common questions

Do you work with traders in the North Laine or at Brighton Open Market?

Yes. Most North Laine independents and Open Market traders only need a clean one-page site with their address, hours and a booking or order link — that's exactly what the £25/month plan covers.

I'm in Hove rather than central Brighton — does that matter?

No. Hove, Kemptown, central Brighton, the Lanes — all BN1, BN2 or BN3. The site looks the same and ranks the same regardless of which postcode you trade from.

Brighton has loads of digital agencies. Why pick a single-person studio?

Most of them are pitched at fundable startups, not a café with one location. I keep it simple: one flat monthly fee, no upsells, no proposal decks, and you can leave whenever you want.

Can you handle bookings for a Kemptown salon or guesthouse?

Yes — I'll wire your site to whatever booking tool you already use (Fresha, Booksy, an iCal calendar, a phone number) rather than locking you into one of mine.

Do you do SEO, blogs, or Google Business Profile?

No — and that's deliberate. The £25/month plan is for a clean, quick website on its own domain, with the basic on-page SEO sorted (sensible page titles, descriptions, fast loads). It is not a marketing package. If you want someone to actively manage your Google Business Profile, run a blog, or chase rankings, this isn't the right service — I'd rather say so upfront.
