Brighton trades by the tide, the trains and the festival calendar
Brighton is the densest food and drink town on the south coast, and it runs on three clocks. The sea sets the first: swimmers and coffee at dawn, the beach full by lunch on any sunny day, the front alight until the last train. The station sets the second: an hour from Victoria and London Bridge, so the weekend arrives on Friday afternoon and leaves on Sunday evening. The calendar sets the third: the Festival and Fringe in May, Pride in August, the conferences, the marathon, and the long quiet of January.

What we do, how we do it, what you get
Built by someone who has run a Saturday on a seafront, not only a screen
EDC's founder spent twenty years running hospitality operations before founding the consultancy in June 2024. A Brighton site is built the way a good room is run on a bank holiday: the kitchen, the sittings and the margin first, then the design that sells them to the people coming down the hill from the station.
Menu and margin
The menu costed line by line and priced against your margin before it is designed, summer and January versions both.
Service flow
Sittings, turn times, the terrace rules and the Pride weekend planned before the booking system is switched on.
Allergens and specs
An allergen matrix and recipe spec sheets the kitchen works from and the website can quote.
Team and standards
Opening checklists and service standards written for the people who will run the room on a sunny Saturday.
The website
Mobile first, fast on the train down, a menu Google can read, the terrace bookable in two taps.
Local search
The Google Business Profile corrected to the lane, listings matched to it, reviews answered in your voice.
Brand
A logo, palette, type, menus and signage files that hold up on the front, in the Lanes and on a phone.
Email and social
A customer email system and a social plan that say what is on this weekend, kept current by someone who knows the kitchen.

Questions people ask
Web design in Brighton: the questions people ask
How much does web design cost in Brighton?
The same as anywhere EDC works. Website – Starter is £1,650, Website – Pro £2,950, Website – Standard £5,800 and Website – Premium £6,500, one-off figures in pounds. The pricing page lists what each includes. Local SEO is separate, from £850 per month.
Do you design websites for businesses in Brighton other than restaurants?
EDC builds for the food and drink trade: restaurants, cafés, bars, pubs, bakeries and delis. That focus is the point; a site for a Brighton beach bar is built by someone who has run one.
Who designs restaurant websites in Brighton?
Epicurean Digital Consultants, based in Wimbledon and an hour up the line, founded in June 2024 by Ali Solak after twenty years running hospitality operations. You deal with Ali directly, not an account manager.
Do you cover Hove, Kemptown and the villages as well as the centre?
Yes. Hove, Kemptown, Seven Dials and the roads out of town are much of the city's trade, and the page is built around the lane, the road or the front rather than the city name.
Can you get a Brighton restaurant found on Google?
Yes. The site is built around the lane and the postcode, the Google Business Profile is corrected to match, and the Local Visibility plan at £850 per month keeps listings, reviews and local pages working month by month.
How long does a restaurant website take?
It depends on the package and on how fast menus, photography and copy come back from you. The written scope after the first call gives a date.
Where this page's design comes from
FIZZ, one of the concept sites in the Web Portfolios
This page shares its colour-world idiom with that demo: one scene whose whole colour field moves as you scroll, here from dawn to night over a seafront, rather than borrowing its look. It is a concept site with a fictional brand, built to show what a site can feel like; it is not a client and no business on it is real.
