One person handles your entire project: strategy, design, build, SEO and launch. No account managers, no project coordinators, no handoff chains. 18+ years of experience, Brighton-based, and you always know exactly who is working on your website.
Agency websites are typically 30–50% more expensive for the same scope — because you are paying for the layers between you and the work. With a freelance web designer, that overhead disappears. Your budget goes into design, development and SEO rather than project management and account coordination.
With an agency, your project passes through a sales team, a project manager, a designer and a developer — each adding interpretation. With 2four, the person you brief is the person who designs, builds and launches. Zero context lost.
No weekly standups, no status reports, no waiting for internal sign-off chains. You message or call, get a direct answer and the work moves forward. Most decisions happen in hours, not days.
Agency pricing includes account management, office costs, team coordination and margin stacking. Freelance pricing puts more of your budget into the design, build and SEO work that actually affects results.
The website still needs to do the important things properly: build trust, support local visibility, explain the offer clearly and make it easier for the right people to enquire.
Strategy session before any design work — understanding your business, customers and goals
Bespoke design — no templates, no page builders, no generic themes
WordPress CMS with editing control so you can manage content independently
On-page SEO: heading structure, meta descriptions, local schema, internal linking
Mobile-first responsive build tested across real devices
Direct phone and email access throughout the project and after launch
Post-launch walkthrough and WordPress training
Ongoing support available from the same person who built the site
The point is to make the work clearer and more responsive, not more informal or less strategic.
A direct 30-minute conversation about the business, the current website problems and what a new site actually needs to achieve. No sales team, no discovery workshops — just an honest assessment.
A clear, written proposal covering scope, timeline, cost and approach. No hidden fees, no ambiguous retainer language. You know exactly what you are getting before any work starts.
Design concepts are shared early for feedback. The build happens iteratively with regular check-ins — not a big reveal after weeks of silence. You see progress throughout.
The site launches with a walkthrough and training. After that, 2four remains the direct point of contact for support, updates, improvements and anything else the site needs.
From web design and WordPress builds to redesigns and ongoing support, 2four handles every part of getting your website working harder for your business — all with direct access and no agency layers.
Working with a freelance web designer does not mean settling for less. 2four delivers the same strategic, conversion-focused web design in Brighton whether the project is a brand new build, a website redesign or a tighter small business website.
Most freelance projects are built on WordPress, giving businesses content independence from day one. After launch, ongoing website support from the same person who built the site means faster responses, cleaner fixes and more context than a rotating agency team.
2four works with businesses across Sussex as well as Brighton, applying the same commercial rigour and local understanding regardless of location.
