Brighton

Web design in Brighton

We are a web design agency in Brighton. We build the site, set up the Google Business Profile sitting behind it, and keep both current once they are live.

  • A page for each service you sell, written the way people search for it here.
  • Google Business Profile set up and maintained, so the map results and the site agree.
  • Speed, metadata and structured data are ours to fix, not a plugin's
  • Based in Brighton
  • Built on our own platform

What you get

What the work consists of

Web design is the visible half. On a local search term like this one, the half that decides whether anyone finds you sits behind it.

The map pack, treated as its own job

Google ranks your Business Profile and your website separately. We set the categories, list the services, define the service area, keep photos and posts current, and build review requests into how you already talk to customers. The profile and the site are kept saying the same thing.

A page for each thing you sell

One page trying to cover everything competes with itself. We split the site by service, and by place where the demand is really there, then link the pages so each one has a clear job and a clear route in from the rest of the site.

Our own platform, not a plugin stack

Every site is built on our own platform, which we write and maintain. Page speed, metadata, canonical URLs, sitemaps and structured data are part of the platform rather than bolted on, so when something needs changing we change it instead of waiting on a plugin author.

Services

What we do for Brighton businesses

The same work, whichever service you start with. Pick the one closest to what you need and we will tell you honestly if it is the wrong starting point.

How it works

How a Brighton project runs

No long discovery phase before anything useful happens. We look, we plan, we build, and then we keep working on it.

We read what is already there

Your current site, your Google Business Profile, the businesses ranking above you in Brighton, and the search terms behind them. You get the findings whether or not you go ahead.

We agree the page structure

Which pages exist, what each is for, which search term it answers, and how they link together. This is settled before anything is written, because it is expensive to change later.

We build it, then keep editing it

We write and build the site, publish, and connect Search Console and analytics. After that the site is not finished: we watch what people search for, and rewrite and add pages in response.

Questions

Web design in Brighton, answered

The things people ask before they get in touch. If yours is not here, ask it directly and you will get a straight answer.

Are you based in Brighton?
Yes. Frively works from Brighton. We also work with businesses across Sussex and further afield, but Brighton is where we are, so meeting in person is straightforward rather than an expedition.
What does a web design project with you involve?
We start by reading what is already there: your current site, your Google Business Profile, and the terms people type when they are looking for what you sell. From that we agree a page structure, usually a page for each service and, where it makes sense, a page for each place you serve. Then we write, build, publish, and keep editing once real search data starts coming in.
Do you handle Google Business Profile as well as the website?
Yes, and on a Brighton page that is the part worth spelling out. The map pack and the website are judged on different things. We set the primary and secondary categories, fill in the services, set the service area, add photos, keep the profile current, and put a review request into the process you already use. Then we make sure the pages on the site say the same thing the profile does, because a profile that contradicts the website gives Google two answers to choose from.
Can you work with the site I already have?
We build on our own platform, so a project is a rebuild rather than a patch on an existing WordPress install. That is not a clean slate: we keep the copy and pages that earn their place, map every old URL to its new one with redirects so nothing is dropped, and carry across the images, forms and tracking you rely on.

Still deciding?

Send us the site you have now, or the term you want to be found for, and we will tell you what we would do with it.
