Working in Chichester
What the Chichester market actually looks like
Chichester is a cathedral city with a large, affluent rural hinterland, and the two halves want different things. In the city itself there is a steady trade in period property, listed buildings and conservation-area work, where customers care about craftsmanship and want to see it. Out towards Bognor Regis, Selsey, the Witterings and the villages along the A27 and A286, the work is more varied: extensions, landscaping, heating, roofing and the general upkeep of houses that sit a long way from the nearest builders' merchant.
Searches in this area are spread thin across a lot of place names. A plumber based in Chichester might get enquiries from Fishbourne, Bosham, Tangmere, Westhampnett and Emsworth as well as the city, and very few competitors have built their sites to reflect that. Done properly, that is an advantage: a well-structured site with genuine area coverage can rank across the whole PO19 and PO20 patch without much competition.
We are about 40 minutes away by road, which is far enough that most of the work happens remotely and close enough that a site visit or a photography day is straightforward. Chichester clients get the same fixed monthly cost and monthly report as everyone else, and the same honesty about what we can and cannot deliver.
What works in Chichester
How we approach Chichester work
The services are the same everywhere. The emphasis changes with the town, the customer and the competition. This is where we would usually start for a Chichester business.
Web design
Sites that reflect the standard of the work. For Chichester trades working on period and listed property, that means real project photography, plain explanations of methods and materials, and a design that does not look like a template.
SEO
Genuine coverage of the villages and coastal towns you work in, built into the site structure rather than bolted on. Google Business Profile with the right service areas. Monthly keyword tracking so you know what is ranking where.
Google Ads
Effective in Chichester for higher-value jobs where a single enquiry pays for a month of ads: kitchens, extensions, heating systems, landscaping. We run tight, local campaigns and always quote the management fee separately from the ad spend.
Automation and email
Follow-ups for quotes that have gone quiet, review requests on completion, and seasonal reminders for the jobs that come round every year. Set up once, running in the background.

Frequently asked in Chichester
Do you have an office in Chichester?
No. We are registered and based in Worthing, and we work with Chichester businesses from there. It is about 40 minutes by road, so in-person visits are practical when they add something, but we will not pretend to have a base in the city.
Which Chichester-area businesses have you worked with?
Sashsquatch Windows, who restore sash and casement windows across Sussex including Chichester, along with Clean Machine, Dave Rees Tiling and Southern Plumbing Solutions, all of whom cover West Sussex. They are all on our work page with links to the live sites.
My customers are spread across a dozen villages. Can a website cover that?
Yes, and it should. We build the site so that Chichester, Bognor Regis, Selsey, the Witterings and the villages between them are covered properly, without creating a pile of near-identical pages. Combined with a correctly configured Google Business Profile, that is usually enough to show up across the whole patch.
What does it cost?
Our standard website is a £50 build fee plus £35 a month, covering hosting, maintenance and minor edits, with no long contract. Larger builds are quoted individually. SEO, Google Ads and email are separate monthly services. We are not VAT registered, so nothing is added to the figures we quote.
How long does a website take?
We quote two to four weeks from the design call to launch. It is often quicker. You see the site on a staging link before it goes live and we make amendments there, so nothing is published until you are happy with it.
