Websites & landing pages for Sussex & Hampshire teams
Websites that look good and quietly do their job.
South Coast Apps designs and builds fast, clear websites and landing pages that help local businesses get more of the right enquiries. We focus on structure, speed and simple next steps – not just a pretty homepage. Everything starts with a paid Cloud & Systems Consultation, booked with a small 10% deposit that's credited in full if you go ahead with a project.
Based near Chichester, working mainly across Sussex and Hampshire – from Bournemouth and Southampton to Portsmouth, Worthing and Brighton.

Who this is for
We're a good fit if you want a practical, outcomes-first website – not a design trophy that's hard to update.
- • Owner-led businesses who need more of the right enquiries, not just traffic.
- • Clinics, trades, property and service companies with offline workflows to reflect.
- • Teams already using tools like Microsoft 365, Xero or a CRM, but with a site that hasn't caught up.
- • People who value plain-English explanations and honest pushback over buzzwords.
If you mainly need someone to fix staff laptops, printers or office Wi-Fi, we're not the right partner. If you want your website and online systems to quietly support the business, we probably are.
Standards
What's included in every website build
Different businesses need different shapes of site, but there are a few non-negotiables we include by default.
- ✅ Mobile-first layouts that work on phones, tablets and desktops.
- ✅ Sensible page structure: one H1 per page, semantic headings and accessible forms.
- ✅ Image optimisation, next-gen formats (AVIF/WebP where supported) and lazy loading.
- ✅ Cookie banner, privacy policy and basic accessibility checks in plain English.
- ✅ Search Console and analytics wired in with consent-aware tracking.
- ✅ Local SEO basics: titles, meta descriptions, schema and Google Business alignment.
- ✅ Hosting on UK/EU infrastructure with SSL, backups and a rollback plan.
- ✅ Handover notes and Loom walkthroughs so you're not stuck with “mystery tech”.

Final pricing depends on the Cloud & Systems Consultation, but these examples give a sense of where most South Coast projects land. Hosting and email licences are billed separately at cost.
Growing business
Typically £995–£1,495
Established teams who need their site to pull more weight.
- 5–7 pages with on-page SEO baked in
- Case studies, FAQs, or service-detail pages
- Analytics, Search Console and basic conversion tracking
Systems-first website
From £1,495+
Teams with CRMs, booking tools or custom workflows to connect.
- Website tied into your existing tools and processes
- Lead routing, deposits, or bookings wired in
- Room for phased automation or AI pilots later
These are examples, not rigid packages. During the consultation we'll confirm whether you fit neatly into one of these, or whether a custom scope makes more sense.
Process
How a typical website project runs
A calm, four-step process designed around busy owners and small teams. No mystery phases, no endless scope creep.
- 1Quick intro call
A short video or phone call to understand your business, audience and current site. No charge, no hard sell – just a sense-check that we're the right fit.
- 2Paid consultation & plan
You book a 45-minute Cloud & Systems Consultation with a small 10% deposit. We review your content, tools and options, then send a short plan, structure and fixed quote.
- 3Build & first slice
We ship a first slice – usually the homepage and one key action – so you can see layout, tone and flow before we build the rest of the site.
- 4Launch & care
Go live with monitoring, basic SEO checks and a short handover. You can stay on a care plan for edits, small improvements and quarterly reviews.
FAQs
Website questions we're often asked
What does the website consultation cover?
For websites, the consultation is where we review your current site (or idea), look at traffic and enquiries if you have them, and agree what “good” looks like. You get a short write-up with options, risks and next steps. If you go ahead with a website project, your 10% consultation deposit is credited against the agreed project price.
Do you use templates or build from scratch?
We use a small, well-tested design system as a base – then tailor structure, content and components around your business. That keeps things fast and maintainable without you paying for endless from-scratch design work.
Can we edit the site ourselves?
Yes. We'll either wire in a light CMS or agree which bits you want to be able to update and which should stay fixed. You also get a short handover and Loom walkthrough so future you isn't guessing.
Do you handle domains, email and DNS?
We can purchase or transfer domains, configure DNS and SSL, and get Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace pointed at the right place. We look after your website and the cloud services around it – but we're not a general “fix my laptop” IT helpdesk.
How long will a new website take?
If content and decisions are ready, simple brochure sites often go live within 1–2 weeks. More complex scopes (multiple services, integrations, booking flows) are usually 3–5 weeks. During the consultation we'll agree a realistic timeline before you commit.
What happens after launch?
Every build includes a period of fixes and small tweaks after go-live. Many clients also choose an ongoing care plan for content edits, monitoring, quarterly reviews and light improvements so the site doesn't slowly go stale.
