Squarespace web design for small businesses in Brighton
This page is for small businesses in Brighton that want a clear, professional Squarespace website — without unnecessary complexity or agency overhead.
I design and build Squarespace websites for service-based SMEs who need their site to explain what they do quickly, look credible, and be easy to manage long-term. The focus is on clarity, structure, and usability, rather than design for its own sake.
All projects are built on Squarespace, which works particularly well for small businesses that want a flexible, well-supported platform without relying on ongoing developer input.
What’s included in a Squarespace website build or refresh
Projects typically fall into one of three categories: new builds, refreshes, or rebuilds on Squarespace.
A new build is usually the right choice for businesses starting from scratch or moving away from informal or outdated setups. The emphasis is on clear structure, sensible page hierarchy, and content that reflects how the business actually works.
A Squarespace website refresh is often suitable when the underlying site is sound, but the messaging, layout, or flow no longer reflects the business properly. This focuses on improving clarity and usability rather than redesigning for the sake of it.
Rebuilds are undertaken on Squarespace only. This keeps projects focused and ensures the final site is stable, maintainable, and consistent with how the platform is designed to be used.

SEO and site structure considered from day one
Search visibility is treated as part of the build, not a separate add-on. The site is structured carefully from the start, with clear pages, sensible hierarchy, and content that explains what the business does without unnecessary complexity.
This includes solid on-page foundations using Squarespace’s built-in SEO tools, along with clear internal structure and content written for real people as well as Google.
For many clients, this naturally supports local SEO for small businesses — helping nearby customers understand what you offer and find you more easily through search.
The result is a professional website for service businesses that communicates clearly, loads cleanly, and gives search engines the right signals without gimmicks.
Is this the right fit for your business?
This approach works best for small, service-based businesses that value clarity and professionalism over flashy features or aggressive marketing tactics.
It’s likely to be a good fit if you want a Squarespace site that’s easy to manage, clearly structured, and built with long-term use in mind. It’s probably not the right fit if you’re looking for guaranteed rankings, complex custom development, or a large agency engagement.
Projects are handled directly, with a calm, collaborative working style and clear expectations throughout.
