IT & Website Support in Hastings

Supporting Hastings businesses

Hastings is best known for 1066, but its modern economy is a mix of tourism, creative industries, small manufacturing and a strong independent business culture. The Old Town, with its narrow streets and timber-framed buildings, is full of independent shops, galleries, pubs and restaurants. On the Stade, the town's beach-launched fishing fleet, often described as the largest of its kind in Europe, still lands fish that supply local fishmongers and restaurants.

Culture has become a big part of the town's identity. Hastings Contemporary, a gallery on the Stade, draws visitors from across the South East, and the rebuilt Hastings Pier won the RIBA Stirling Prize in 2017. The town and neighbouring St Leonards-on-Sea have attracted many artists, designers, writers, makers and small creative businesses, often working from home or shared studios.

Industrial estates such as Castleham and Ponswood house light manufacturing, engineering, printing and trades businesses. The Conquest Hospital is a major employer, and nearby Bexhill, with the De La Warr Pavilion, and Battle, site of the 1066 battle, add more tourism and small businesses to the wider area.

Hastings also has a large number of social enterprises, charities and community groups.

That shapes the IT and website needs we see:

• Artists, makers and independent shops need online shops on Shopify, WooCommerce or Squarespace that are kept updated and take payments reliably.
• Hospitality and tourism businesses need fast mobile websites, booking and accurate listings on Google.
• Charities and social enterprises need low-cost, well-maintained websites, donation forms and simple Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace setups.
• Manufacturers and trades need dependable PCs, email and backups.

Remote support keeps this affordable for small businesses that cannot justify a large IT contract.
