Southwold is the kind of Suffolk coastal town that people feel genuinely attached to — the Adnams brewery that has shaped the town's character for over 150 years, the lighthouse rising above the rooftops, the colourful beach huts, a pier, and an independent shopping street that attracts visitors from well beyond the county. It's also one of the most popular holiday destinations on the east coast, and the businesses that serve residents and visitors alike deserve websites that match the town's reputation.
Fresh Slate Design builds WordPress websites for Southwold businesses that look the part and work hard for you year-round — bringing in enquiries and bookings from people who are already planning their next visit.
Three services, fixed prices, no hidden extras. Everything your Southwold business needs from a website.
A custom WordPress website built for your business — not a template designed for everyone. Includes 5–8 pages, mobile-responsive design, basic on-page SEO, contact form, Google Analytics, and speed optimisation. Two rounds of revisions included.
Southwold businesses that benefit from a well-built website include holiday lets and boutique accommodation, restaurants and pubs, independent retailers and gift shops, wellness and therapy practitioners, and businesses connected to the town's arts and events calendar. Hospitality and food businesses are a natural fit — visitors research carefully before they arrive.
A full WooCommerce online shop built on WordPress. You own it outright — no monthly platform fees, no marketplace commission. Includes payment integration, shipping setup, and up to 30 products.
For Southwold businesses selling online — local food and drink, gifts, crafts, clothing, or Adnams-adjacent products — WooCommerce gives you a proper online shop on WordPress with Stripe and PayPal, shipping setup, and up to 30 products. Independent retailers here have a loyal customer base well beyond the town itself.
Your website is a business asset. A maintenance plan keeps it secure, fast, and up to date — so you can focus on running your Southwold business rather than worrying about what's happening in the background.
I'm not a large agency juggling dozens of clients. I take on a limited number of projects at a time to give each one proper attention — and I deal with you directly from first conversation to launch.
WordPress powers over 40% of all websites on the internet. I build on it exclusively — so you get real expertise, not a surface-level familiarity spread across multiple platforms.
You receive a written quote with a clear scope before any work starts. The price agreed is the price you pay — no surprises when the invoice arrives.
Most sites go live within 2–3 weeks of the project starting. No agency queues, no account managers adding time to every step.
Maintenance plans and hourly additional work available after launch — you're never left to figure things out on your own.
A simple, transparent process — so you always know what's happening and what comes next.
Get in touch for a no-obligation chat. We'll talk about what your business needs from its website, your goals, and your budget. No jargon, no pressure.
Within 48 hours you'll receive a clear, fixed-price quote with a written scope of exactly what's included. No surprises, no hidden costs.
Your site is built on WordPress — the platform behind over 40% of the web. You'll see a draft to review before anything goes live, and you get 2 rounds of revisions to make sure it's right.
Once you're happy, we go live. You'll get a short training session so you feel confident making basic updates yourself. Optional ongoing maintenance keeps everything secure and running smoothly.
