About Us
Local expertise.
No corporate runaround.
I'm Alex, based in Chichester. I launched Apex Design Studio in early 2026 after watching too many local businesses lose customers to competitors with better websites, all because building one seemed too expensive or complicated.
The model is simple: one flat monthly fee, no setup costs, no long contracts. I handle everything from design through to hosting and monthly updates. You focus on running your business.
"You're not dealing with account managers or automated systems. You deal directly with the person building your site."

FAQ
Common questions.
Still not sure? We're easy to reach.
If you have a question that isn't covered here, just get in touch. We'll get back to you the same day.
Most sites are live within 5-7 working days from your design approval. We'll agree a timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout.
The site comes down after your notice period ends. You own all your content and images, which we'll hand over on request. Your domain name is always yours to keep.
Text changes, new images, price updates, adding or removing pages, tweaking layouts. No limits on the number of requests. Turnaround time varies by plan: 2-3 days on Starter, 1-2 days on Growth, and 1 day priority on Elite.
No. All plans are rolling monthly. Cancel with 30 days notice, no penalty, no questions asked. We keep clients by doing good work, not by locking them in.
Yes. We work with businesses across Portsmouth, Southampton, and the wider South of England. Everything is handled remotely so your location is never a problem.
We'll review it and give you an honest assessment. If it's worth keeping and just needs some work, we'll say so. If it needs rebuilding, we'll explain why. No hard sell either way.
