Brighton & Hove

A city that runs on independents, and on being easy to choose.

From the Lanes and North Laine to the shops along Church Road in Hove, Brighton's economy is unusually independent. Cafés, salons, studios, trades and professional practices compete with each other rather than with chains, and most of their customers start by searching on a phone: a plumber for a flat in Kemptown, a dog groomer near Preston Park, an accountant who understands a small creative business.

That makes the website matter more here, not less. A customer comparing three local businesses picks the one that looks organised, says clearly what it does and where, and makes the next step obvious. We build exactly that for Brighton businesses: a professional WordPress site around your services, your areas and the way you like to be contacted, then host it, secure it and keep it working for one monthly price.

The city's housing is part of the story too. Regency squares, Victorian terraces and the flats above shops keep plumbers, electricians, decorators and roofers busy all year, and a website that shows the work properly, with the areas covered written the way locals say them, is what turns those searches into calls.

Two ways to start in Brighton and Hove.

A professional website, or that website with ongoing SEO from the start. The same standard of work whichever you need.

Both plans are the same price in Brighton as everywhere else in the UK. Not sure which fits? Talk to someone first or see the full pricing details.

People in Brighton are already searching for the work you do.

A blocked drain in Hanover, a wedding in Rottingdean, a new shop lease in the Lanes: each one starts as a search. SEO is ongoing monthly work on three agreed searches like these, so more of those customers have the chance to find your business.

  1. 01
    “emergency plumber Brighton

    The urgent search, usually from a flat or a rental with a landlord on the phone. Fast to decide, and the business that looks reachable wins it.

  2. 02
    “electrician Hove

    Hove's larger houses and older wiring keep this search busy all year. Customers want to see certification and the areas covered before they ring.

  3. 03
    “hair salon Brighton Lanes

    A search that is chosen on look and reviews. The website has to carry the atmosphere of the salon, then make booking simple.

Examples only. Your three searches are agreed with you around the work you want more of and what people in Brighton actually type. Nobody can promise a position, and we don't.

Brighton industries

Built around the trade first, then around Brighton.

A roofer in Portslade and a photographer in North Laine need very different websites. Each starts from how its customers choose, then adds the streets and areas it covers.

  1. 1

    Choose your plan

    Pick Website or Website + SEO. Your first monthly payment is taken at signup.

  2. 2

    Tell us about the business

    A short onboarding in your Client Platform: services, areas, anything you want highlighted, your logo, any photos and the number you want calls to go to.

  3. 3

    Ready to Build

    We check we have what we need. If something's missing we'll say exactly what, and work with what you have where we can.

  4. 4

    First draft

    You see a working draft of your site, on desktop and phone, and tell us what to change.

  5. 5

    Approve and launch

    Reasonable in-scope revisions, then you approve it. Nothing goes live until you say so.

Timing, stated properly

We aim to have your first website draft ready within 5 working days once PrimeStart has everything needed and confirms your project is Ready to Build. Payment alone doesn’t start the clock; missing details, revisions or domain delays can extend it.

Before you approve

You review the draft and request reasonable in-scope changes. If there’s a genuine problem we can’t put right within scope after reasonable attempts, we can cancel the agreement and refund Website subscription payments made, subject to any disclosed non-recoverable third-party costs.

Questions from Brighton businesses

Do you work with businesses across Brighton and Hove?
Yes. PrimeStart works with trades and small businesses across the whole city, from Kemptown and Hanover to Hove, Portslade and out to Rottingdean and Saltdean, as well as the towns along the coast and the rest of the UK. The website is built and managed remotely, so there is nothing to visit and no local office to travel to.
How much does a business website cost in Brighton with PrimeStart?
£49.99 a month for Website, with a £0 upfront website design fee. The price is the same in Brighton as everywhere else. Your first monthly payment is taken at signup and the Website has an 18-month minimum term, £899.82 in total. Complete that term and the website is yours.
Can the site show the areas I cover, such as Hove or Shoreham?
Yes, and it should. Customers search with a place name far more often than they search with a postcode, so the site states the areas you cover in the words locals use, whether that is a handful of neighbourhoods or the whole coast from Worthing to Newhaven.
I run a café or a salon. Is this still right for me?
Yes. Website suits most local businesses, not only trades. For a café, salon or studio the site leads with photographs, opening hours, the menu or price list and an easy way to book or get in touch. We build it around how your customers choose, then host and look after it.
What does SEO do for a Brighton business?
Website + SEO is £349.99 a month total with the website included. Each month we work on three agreed local searches, for example "electrician hove", alongside your Google Business Profile and the site itself, and report on what was done. It is designed to create more opportunities for the right local customers to find you. Nobody can promise rankings, and we don't.
What happens after the 18 months?
The website is yours. Stay with PrimeStart at £49.99 a month on a rolling basis with no new minimum term, or move the website to hosting of your own. Transfer is subject to the third-party licences any website relies on, such as WordPress, plugins, fonts and stock photography.
