The web is full of sites that look like each other, load like treacle and say nothing in particular. Nobody remembers them — and neither does Google.
A website is the one shopfront that’s open all night. It should be worth walking past.

How we work →Website and SEO questions, answered — Solve Every Obstacle
How much does a website cost?
Sites start from £1,995 + VAT, and you get a quote in writing before anything begins. The price includes the copy and the images. Hosting and ongoing care are a separate monthly plan, so you always know what you’re paying for. Everything is on the pricing page.
How long does it take?
Typically two weeks from the call to a finished site, once we have what we need from you. SEO is monthly with a three-month minimum, because the first few months are groundwork rather than fireworks.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No. Nobody can, and anyone who says otherwise is guessing on your behalf. We guarantee the work, show you all of it, and explain what changed and why.
I already have a website. Can you fix it?
Usually, yes — either SEO on the site you have, or a rebuild that keeps every URL that’s earning you something. We’ll tell you honestly which one it needs. A free SEO audit is a good place to start.
What happens after the site launches?
You can keep us on a monthly care plan: hosting, updates and small edits. It’s priced with your website quote, by the size of the site and how much help you want.
Do you only work with businesses in Sussex?
No. We’re on the Sussex coast and work with small businesses across the UK. Everything can happen over calls and email, so where you are makes no difference — we just know Brighton and Sussex best.
Why is it called She Eats Onions?
Say the initials. It’s also a promise that a website doesn’t have to be dull to be taken seriously.
