## About Lewes

Lewes is the county town of East Sussex, a hilly historic town with a castle, the Harveys brewery, and a strong independent culture, famously shown in its bonfire night celebrations and its own local currency. Its housing is heavily period, with flint cottages and Georgian townhouses, much of it in conservation areas. Customers expect careful, sympathetic work on older buildings and are drawn to firms with local character. A site that names surrounding villages like Kingston, Ringmer and Barcombe works well.

## Nearby

Elsewhere in East Sussex: Uckfield (8 miles), Hailsham (11 miles) and Polegate (11 miles). Just over the council boundary, Burgess Hill (9 miles) and Haywards Heath (10 miles) are close by. It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.

We are based in Exeter and work with Lewes businesses remotely.

## Questions

### Do you actually work with businesses in this area?

Yes. We are based in Exeter and build websites for businesses right across the UK. The work is done remotely, by phone, WhatsApp and video call, and we will not pretend to have an office down the road from you.

### Does it matter that you are not local to me?

For building and looking after a website, no. Everything is done by phone, WhatsApp and video call, and you approve the design on your own phone before anything goes live. What does matter is local search visibility, and that depends on the site and your Google Business Profile being set up for your area, not on where we sit.

### How do I compete with bigger businesses in my area locally?

By being specific. A large regional firm usually has one page that covers everywhere; you can have a page about what you do in your town, naming the areas you cover and the jobs you do. Add a fast site and a fully completed Google Business Profile, and you are giving local searchers a clearer answer than a page written for the whole region.
