Brighton & Hove · Websites for local businesses
If your business runs on Facebook, Instagram and word of mouth, you're invisible to everyone typing your trade into Google. I fix that with a clean, well made website that looks the part, loads fast on a phone and makes it obvious how to book you.
Two Brighton businesses, two very different personalities. The job is the same each time: understand what makes them good, then get out of the way and let that show.
Chartered building surveyor · South East
Elliott needed to look as established as the big firms while staying obviously independent. A calm green identity, plain English about RICS Level 2 and 3 surveys, Google reviews up front, and a three step quote form that asks for the property link so he can price a job before he calls back.

Hair salon · Seven Dials, Brighton
A one to one salon on Dyke Road with 55 five star reviews and nowhere online that felt like the room itself. Warm photography, a soft serif, the owner's story in her own words, and a Book Now button that goes straight to her existing booking system so nothing about how she works had to change.

Tell me about your business, or just point me at your Facebook or Instagram. I'll design a first version of your site and send it over. No charge, no obligation, no chasing.
2 to 3 daysIf you like it, we meet for a coffee or a call, go through it together and swap in your real photos, prices and words. Two rounds of changes are included.
About a weekI put it live on your domain, connect your Google listing and show you how to send me changes. Small updates afterwards are quick and cheap.
1 dayI'm a web designer based in Brighton with a degree in marketing and communication, which mostly means I care as much about what the page says as how it looks.
I started MD Web Design after noticing how many brilliant local businesses had no website at all, or one they were slightly embarrassed by. Groomers, tilers, cake makers, salons, tutors. People who are excellent at their job and busy doing it, who never got round to the online bit.
I keep things personal on purpose. One person to deal with from start to finish, a price agreed up front, and no jargon. If you're in Brighton or Hove I'd rather come and see your business than talk about it over email.
