Talk it through → Why it matters
A web designer who understands Farnham
Iâm Spencer — a Brighton-based freelance web designer and former British 800m Champion, now putting 10+ years of marketing experience into helping businesses in Farnham grow online. Iâve worked directly with 55+ businesses, from sole traders to established firms, and built 100+ WordPress websites along the way. More about how I work is on my about page.
Whether you need a simple brochure site, an online shop or a complete digital presence, I handle the whole process — design, development, SEO setup and launch. Everything is built on WordPress, so you can update it yourself without calling me every time a phone number changes.
Farnham is one of Surreyâs most distinctive market towns — a Georgian centre with real craft heritage rather than a generic commuter high street. Farnham Castle has watched over the town for more than 900 years, and today the streets around Castle Street, The Borough and Downing Street are full of independent shops, galleries, antique dealers and cafés. Add the University for the Creative Arts and Farnham Maltings, and you have a place where design literacy is genuinely high — a generic template stands out here for the wrong reasons.
Most web design agencies charge for account managers, office overheads and layers of project management youâll never benefit from. Working with me, you deal directly with the person designing and building the site — no middleman, no inflated quote, no being passed between departments. Plenty of my clients simply wanted a web designer who answers the phone. What you get working with me instead of a larger agency:
Direct communication with the person building your site
Custom WordPress design, not a reskinned template
SEO built in from day one, not sold as an expensive add-on
Fixed pricing, with no hidden monthly fees
Ongoing support when you need it — not a ticket queue
One designer who owns the whole build, not a call centre

Local knowledge
The kinds of Farnham businesses I build for
Farnham has an unusual trading mix — independents and antique dealers around The Borough and Downing Street, a strong creative community fed by UCA and Farnham Maltings, professional firms serving an affluent catchment, and a visitor economy built around the Castle and the townâs craft heritage. Each one needs a different website.
Independents and antiques
Shops, galleries and antique dealers around The Borough, Downing Street and Lion & Lamb Yard live or die on being found. Opening hours, decent photographs of the actual shop and a phone number people can tap matter far more than a clever homepage animation.
Creative studios and makers
With UCA in the middle of town, Farnham is thick with graduates who stay, start studios and launch creative agencies. A portfolio site that shows the work beautifully and loads fast is the whole pitch — and the design bar here is unforgiving.
Professional firms in town
Solicitors, accountants, surveyors and consultants on Castle Street and around the centre serve an affluent, discerning clientele. The website has to look every bit as considered as the firm itself, and load just as quickly on a phone.
Food, drink and hospitality
Cafés, restaurants and pubs across the town centre need bookings, menus that are easy to keep current, and pages that hold up when a Farnham Maltings event weekend sends traffic through the roof.
Trades covering the villages
If youâre a builder, electrician, plumber or landscaper based in Farnham, your patch runs out through Wrecclesham, Rowledge, Frensham, Tilford, Ewshot and Hale. That needs proper service-area pages, not one line listing village names.
Retail and buy-local brands
Farnhamâs curated, boutique retail scene draws visitors well beyond the town. An online shop lets that reach carry into the wider UK market without losing the independent, made-in-Farnham story that people come for.
Whichever of those you are, the build follows the same honest process: a fixed quote, a free mockup before you commit a penny, and a WordPress site you own outright at the end of it.

What I offer
Web design services for Farnham businesses
Custom-built, not pulled from a template. Every site reflects your business, your services and the part of town or the villages you actually work in.
Custom WordPress web design
Every website I build is custom-designed for your business — no templates, no cookie-cutter layouts. Whether youâre a creative studio near the UCA campus, an antique dealer on The Borough or a professional firm on Castle Street, Iâll create something that reflects your brand and makes it easy for customers to get in touch. Mobile responsive across all devices as standard.
Local SEO for Farnham
Every site includes SEO setup targeting the town. Iâll optimise your pages for searches ending in âFarnhamâ, set up your Google Business Profile, build local citations and make sure you show up when someone nearby searches for what you do. The competition here is lighter than the bigger towns nearby, so a well-targeted site can climb quickly.
Ecommerce and online shops
Need to sell online? I build WooCommerce stores on WordPress — product catalogues, payment processing (Apple Pay, Google Pay, cards, PayPal), shipping configuration and stock management. Farnhamâs independent retail scene is strong, and a shop extends your reach well beyond the town centre.
Branding and logo design
Starting out or refreshing an existing brand? I offer branding and logo design alongside the web build — colours, typography and guidelines, plus social media branding so your presence is consistent everywhere. In a UCA town the expectation is higher, so I take that seriously.
Hosting and ongoing support
I offer managed hosting from £10/month — security updates, backups, plugin updates and uptime monitoring — with care plans from £30/month if youâd like content changes handled too. Already have hosting? I can work with your existing setup. No mandatory fees holding your website hostage.
WordPress web design in Farnham
Every site I build for Farnham clients is a WordPress site. That means no monthly platform fees, full ownership of your content, and the freedom to change host or developer whenever you want.
- Bespoke design built around your business
- No monthly website-builder subscription
- Straightforward editing, with a guide provided
- Room to add ecommerce or bookings later

All of it included as standard. Fixed price, no retainer.

Towns I cover nearby
Most of my clients here also sell into the towns around them — Godalming and Haslemere to the south, Woking and Camberley to the north, and Leatherhead further east. If youâd like a page targeting one of those as well, hereâs where each one lives:
The process
Steps I take to ensure a smooth process
Four stages, from that first conversation to a website you can run yourself.
First
Initial call or coffee
You tell me about your business, the customers you want to reach and what the website needs to do. Over Zoom, or in person in Farnham if thatâs easier.
Then
Quote and mockup
Fixed price, no surprises. Iâll create a free mockup so you can see the direction before committing a penny.
After that
Design and build
I handle everything — design, content, local SEO setup for Farnham and the villages, mobile testing. Youâll see progress and can give feedback throughout.
Finally
Handover
Your finished website plus full training, so you can edit it yourself. No mandatory monthly fees holding your site hostage.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Still unsure about something? Ask me directly — I answer every enquiry personally.
Get a free quoteDo you have an office in Farnham?
No — Iâm based in Brighton, around 1 hour 15 minutes from Farnham by car, and Iâm happy to meet clients in town. Most communication happens over Zoom and email, but Iâll travel for a brand discovery session or a launch review. My office is at Main Floor, Clarendon Mansions, 80 East St, Brighton BN1 1NF if youâd prefer to visit.
How much does a website cost?
Most Farnham businesses invest between £800–£3,000 for a complete WordPress website. A simple 5-page brochure site starts from £800, while larger sites with ecommerce, booking systems or complex functionality may be £2,000–£5,000+. Every project gets a fixed quote upfront — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Get in touch for a free quote tailored to your needs.
How long does a website take to build?
A straightforward 5-page website typically takes 2–3 weeks. Larger sites with more pages, ecommerce or complex features may take 4–8 weeks. Iâll give you a clear timeline during that first conversation, before anything is agreed.
Will my website be mobile friendly?
Every website I build is fully responsive and tested across iPhone, Android, tablet and desktop. Over 70% of local searches happen on mobile, so the site has to work perfectly on a phone — which matters even more in a town where a lot of people are looking things up while walking around the centre. If you want the detail, Iâve written about what responsive web design actually means.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. I build on WordPress with an intuitive page builder. Add photos, update your services, change opening hours before a Farnham Maltings event weekend — all without calling me. Iâll train you during handover so you feel confident managing it yourself.
Do you offer SEO for Farnham businesses?
Every site includes basic SEO setup — page titles, meta descriptions, local keyword targeting and Google Business Profile optimisation. For ongoing work such as content, citations and link building I offer monthly retainers from £250/month. The goal is simple: when someone in the town searches for what you do, youâre the one they find.
Do you cover Wrecclesham, Frensham and the surrounding villages?
Yes. Most Farnham businesses I work with sell well beyond the town itself, so I build service-area pages covering the places you actually go: Wrecclesham, Rowledge, Frensham, Tilford, Ewshot and Hale. Thatâs how a trade based in Farnham ends up ranking for work in a village a few miles out.
Can you take over a website someone else built?
Often, yes. If itâs already on WordPress I can usually adopt it, tidy it up and look after it from there — see WordPress support and care plans. If itâs stuck on a builder platform youâre renting, a rebuild usually costs less over two years than carrying on paying the subscription.
Do you work with businesses outside Farnham?
Yes. I work with businesses in Godalming, Woking, Camberley and Leatherhead, and if youâre elsewhere I also cover web design across Surrey as well as Horsham, Crawley and Brighton.
