My wife and I moved to West Sussex over 6 years ago and we love the local area and community. In this time we have developed many good friendships as well as knowledge of the local area and businesses. When we moved in, we didn't have all of this, so when we needed anything, like a new fence, carpet, garage door, electrician, or window cleaner, it was difficult to know where to turn. The local directories list many shops and services but give very little information about them, so choosing any one was not easy.

How often do you follow a van on your way to work, advertising their services, but with just a phone number to contact? Do you drive with a pen and paper in hand? Remembering a website is far easier than remembering a phone number and even the smallest of businesses could have their own website to advertise their services or products.  

Like many young couples, we've grown up with computers and the internet, and regularly use this to find shops, products, and services as it gives us all the choice, information and confidence we need. Finding big companies with websites is easy, but finding for example, a local electrician with a website can be difficult, and so finding out any information about them can be even harder. It was our frustration at the lack of small businesses with their own websites that led my wife and I to set up SSBonline.co.uk. Finding and choosing a local business you feel you can trust can be pot-luck, but a website not only helps the business get noticed, but also helps to break down the barriers of uncertainty, providing the customer with the information needed to give them confidence that this is the right business for them.

We want you to be that business that gets noticed, providing the information and confidence that people look for when seeking a local business. We have been creating and running our own websites now for a few years and have helped friends and family who don't have the confidence and knowledge on computers to set up their own websites. This has led to enquiries from small business owners wanting us to set up websites for them, so here we are. The service is a fraction of the price of some advertising, and the internet is more frequently becoming the tool of choice for the web-wise generation.
