How we work
No briefs. No four-week kick-offs. We'd rather you see something and react than fill out a form.
Tell us what you actually need. Most calls land on a clear scope before they end.
Within 48 hours we send a working draft — not a deck. You react, we revise.
Live on your domain. Pay when it's done and you've signed off — not before.
Optional monthly hosting, edits, reviews and SEO. Cancel any time, take your domain with you.
Pricing
Three honest tiers. Pick what fits your business. We'll talk through the right one on the call.
Standard agency prices struck through below. Once we've built sites for our first 10 Sussex businesses, prices return to normal. Lock in the launch price on the call.
Plumbers, electricians, cafes, salons — anyone who needs the phone to ring.
Site + the recurring stack that actually grows the business.
For businesses ready to grow with paid ads + SEO + content.
Need just a logo, a video, or some automation work? Drop us a line — we price all individual jobs on the call.
Why us
The reason we can charge £199 for a proper website isn't because we're cutting corners — it's because we run lean. One operator, modern tools, no agency middle layer, no £2k brief documents. The same job that takes an agency two weeks takes us two days.
We pass the saving on. You get a real Sussex studio's care and the same quality you'd get from a national agency, at a fraction of the price.
Most websites live in 2 days. Logo packs in 24 hours. Automation builds in a week.
Optional £49/mo covers hosting, domain renewal, monthly edits, Google Business Profile monitoring and review responses. Cancel any time — you keep the site either way.
Based in Sussex. Most of our work is within an hour's drive. We meet for coffee.
Your domain, your site, your code. No lease, no lock-in. Cancel hosting anytime and take it elsewhere.

About
Bourne Studio is small on purpose. One operator, modern tools, low overheads — that's how we can charge what we do and still take care over the work.
We work with cafes in Eastbourne Old Town, plumbers in Hailsham, electricians in Bexhill, hairdressers in Lewes, and every other small business along the south coast that wants a proper online presence without selling a kidney for it.
Common questions
Yes — £199 for the first 10 customers (it goes back up to £499 after that). The £49/mo on top is for hosting and upkeep — cancel any time, you keep the site, you can take it to any host you want.
Hosting, domain renewal, monthly edits (text changes, new photos, opening hours updates), Google Business Profile monitoring, review-response service, and a monthly performance email. Cancel anytime, no notice.
We run lean. One operator, modern tools, no agency middle layer, no £2k brief documents. The same site that takes an agency designer two weeks takes us two days, with the same quality bar. We're not cutting corners on the work — just on the time it takes to make it. We pass the saving on.
Mostly south coast — Eastbourne, Hailsham, Bexhill, Hastings, Lewes, Brighton, Newhaven, and a bit further if you want. We like being able to meet for a coffee. National work is possible but priced differently.
Yes — every service in the list is available standalone. Logos from £75, SEO from £99/mo, AI video from £40 a clip. The bundles just save money if you want more than one thing.
We work the build until you're happy with it. If after revisions it's still not right, we walk away as friends — we'd rather a clean "no" than a stuck client. We discuss payment on the call so we can match it to your business.
Send us the photos you already have — phone shots, customer photos, anything you want to use on social. We upscale, colour-grade and brand-match them so they look professional and post-ready. £195 for a one-off batch of 20, or £49/mo for 8 a month on a rolling drip. More on /photos →
30-minute call. No pitch deck, no homework, no hard sell. We'll talk through what you actually need and tell you straight whether we can help.
