What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Brighton-based Whitespace is described by clients as a design agency and web hosting company whose work spans website design and build, brand refreshes and ongoing online infrastructure projects. Named members of staff, including Steve, James and Rich, come up repeatedly for their friendly, approachable manner and the technical and creative expertise they bring to each brief.

More than one customer describes how the team listens carefully to understand a brand before proposing its own solutions, balancing visual appeal with functionality so that finished sites both look modern and perform well. Punctuality and organisation are recurring themes, with projects delivered on time and feedback acted on quickly. The studio is praised for its collaborative style across branding, design and development, and for remaining responsive and patient throughout longer programmes of work.

Reviewers also mention a personal, one-to-one service and a willingness to go the extra mile, particularly on complex redesigns where implementation and support exceeded expectations. The same themes return across different projects: careful handling of mission-critical work, a can-do attitude, and advice that helps businesses evolve. One thing mentioned again and again is the seamlessness of moving from concept through to a finished website, with clients describing the process as a pleasure from start to finish.

Whitespace are superb, a very worthy 5 stars too! Steve and the team undertook a redesign and upgrade of our company website, everything was managed with care and attention, but more than that, with a personal one-on-one service. Very highly recommended. Nick Crabb, Business Manager, Suzannah London.

"We’ve been super impressed with Whitespace on the brand refresh and website build for the new phase of the Partnerships for Forests programme.The team remained patient, responsive, and collaborative throughout the process. They did an excellent job developing the new branding, and have given us a fresh, vibrant look that the whole team is excited to use. The final result is something the whole team is really pleased with. The team clearly knows their stuff when it comes to web development. They quickly understood our brief and what we needed, and they assembled a strong team to create our new website. We are delighted with the results. Account management has also been consistently good, with regular check-ins, clear work plans, and clear points of contact. Overall, we’re very pleased with the partnership and the quality of work delivered". Emma Davies

We engaged with Whitespace on a mission critical redesign of our entire online infrastructure and I have to say they simply outstanding.

Well done to the whole team!

Whitespace are a dream to work with. They're excellent project partners who have provided us with a high level of expertise and customer service, both in web dev and graphic design. Nothing is too much trouble and they're super responsive to requests. They've recently completed a complex interactive web-based platform for us and the end product has massively exceeded our expectations and is better than anything else comparable we've seen. 100% recommended.

I couldn’t be happier with the website Whitespace designed and now manages for me! From the very start, they’ve been friendly, approachable, and so easy to work with. They really take the time to understand your brand and what you’re looking for, but they also come up with their own creative solutions to make everything work perfectly. What I love is how they balance functionality with design. My website not only looks amazing but works beautifully too, which was so important to me. It stands out in the market and really captures what my brand is all about. On top of that, they’re incredibly responsive—whenever I need something updated or tweaked, they’re quick to get it done. It’s such a relief knowing I’ve got a team that I can trust and rely on. If you’re looking for a website team that’s professional, creative, and genuinely invested in making your site the best it can be, I can’t recommend Whitespace highly enough. They’ve been absolutely brilliant!
