Established in 1999
Since 1999, we’ve helped business owners turn their websites into clearer, stronger and more useful sales assets.
That means better structure, clearer messaging, stronger search visibility and a website that gives people a proper reason to trust you. Not because it looks flash for five minutes, but because it explains who you are, what you do and why someone should choose you.
We work in plain English, we care about results, and we have no interest in baffling people with digital marketing fog. There is enough of that nonsense already.
Most people do not need a huge agency, a 40-page strategy document or some bloke in a black polo shirt trying to make SEO sound like witchcraft. They need a website that makes sense, says the right things, earns trust and helps bring in better enquiries.
We have been building, improving and marketing websites since 1999. Long enough to know what matters, what changes, and what is just shiny nonsense with a subscription attached.
You will not get buried under jargon. We explain what needs doing, why it matters and what is most likely to make a real difference to your business.
A good website does more than sit there looking respectable. It should show expertise, answer questions, remove doubt and make the next step feel easy.
We help your website become easier to find on Google by improving the structure, content and signals that search engines use to understand your business.
Search is changing. We help make your website clearer and more useful for AI-driven search tools, so your business has a better chance of being understood, trusted and recommended.
You deal with us directly. No revolving door of account managers. No vanishing act after launch. Just steady, practical support from people who actually know your business.
We are not here to decorate the internet. We are here to help your website do a better job for your business.
Clear, credible WordPress websites built around your message, your audience and the action you want people to take.
Practical search engine optimisation that helps your site become easier for the right people to find.
Website improvements designed to help AI search tools understand who you are, what you do and why you deserve to be recommended.
Friendly, practical WordPress training for people who want to understand their own website without wanting to become a full-time web nerd.
Reliable website hosting with a greener approach, because a fast, well-supported website should not cost the earth in either sense.
Web design, SEO, visibility, content and strategy working together, instead of being treated as separate little boxes.
We can tell you we are helpful, reliable and easy to deal with. But it is better when other people say it for us.
Abisti is deliberately personal. You are not passed around a department, bounced between ticket systems or left wondering who is actually looking after your website. You deal with us.
Web design, SEO, AI visibility and strategy
Gerard founded Abisti Web Design in 1999 and has been helping businesses with websites, search visibility and online marketing ever since.
He is also an internationally published author and a qualified mindfulness teacher, which probably explains the mix of practical strategy, plain English and calm refusal to panic about every passing digital trend.
You will usually deal with Gerard for website planning, SEO, AI visibility, content structure and the bigger strategic decisions.
Social media, finance and practical support
Joanna is originally from Lodz in Poland and moved to England in 2006 after completing a Master of Culture degree in film studies, specialising in music videos.
She brings a creative eye, a practical brain and a useful lack of tolerance for overcomplicated nonsense. This is a very underrated combination in digital marketing.
You will usually deal with Joanna for social media, finance and the practical details that help keep projects moving properly.
We tend to work best with business owners who are already good at what they do, but know their website could be working harder.
You may already rely on referrals, reputation or repeat business. That is a strength. Our job is to help your website reflect that trust more clearly, so more of the right people understand why they should choose you.
Abisti Web Design was established by Gerard Evans in 1999, back when the internet still felt like a wild frontier and most businesses were only just starting to realise how important a website could become.
In 2008, Abisti Web Design became part of Branson Bond Ltd, the company Gerard runs with Joanna. Since then, we have continued to help businesses improve their websites, strengthen their visibility and communicate more clearly online.
Today, we still build and improve websites, but the work has moved on. Search has changed, AI has changed how people find information, and business owners need websites that are clearer, more useful and easier for both people and search tools to understand.
We are based in Lewes, East Sussex, but work with clients across the UK and beyond. The important bit is this: wherever you are, you still get the personal touch. You will deal with Gerard, Joanna, or both of us.
Tell us where you are now, what you want your website to do, and we will give you a straight, practical view of what would help most. No pressure. No mystery. No digital marketing theatre.
