I’m Spencer, a Brighton-based freelance web designer working with businesses in Woking. Whether it’s a first website, a rebuild of something that has aged badly, or ongoing development on a site you already have, I build custom WordPress websites that look professional, work properly on a phone, and bring in real enquiries.
No agency fees. No templates. No monthly hostage contracts. Just a website built around your business by one person who picks up the phone himself.

Talk it through → Why it matters
A web designer who understands how Woking trades
I’m Spencer — a Brighton-based freelance web designer and former British 800m Champion, now putting 10+ years of marketing experience into helping businesses in Woking grow online. I’ve 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.
Most web design agencies charge for account managers, office overheads and layers of project management you’ll 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.
Woking is a commuter town with a corporate spine running through it. Waterloo is roughly 24 minutes from the station, which means a large share of the people searching for your services are doing it on a phone somewhere between Woking and London. It also means your website is competing for attention with businesses those commuters see in the capital every working day. A site that loads slowly or looks dated on a mobile screen loses that comparison before anyone reads a word. 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 person accountable for the whole build

Local knowledge
The kinds of Woking businesses I build for
Woking has an unusual mix for a town of its size — a rebuilt retail core at Victoria Place and the Peacocks Centre, a serious technology and pharmaceutical corporate cluster, light industrial estates at Sheerwater and Old Woking, and a ring of villages that supply most of the trade work. Each one needs a different website.
Town centre retail and hospitality
Shops, restaurants and cafés in and around Victoria Place and the Peacocks Centre live or die on the map pack. Opening hours, real photographs of the place itself and a tappable phone number matter far more than a clever homepage animation.
Professional services
Solicitors, accountants, surveyors, IFAs and consultants in Woking are pitching to clients who could just as easily instruct a London firm on the way home. The site has to look every bit as considered as theirs, and load just as quickly on a train.
Tech, engineering and pharma suppliers
With the McLaren Technology Centre on the edge of town and a long-established pharmaceutical and engineering presence, there’s a real B2B supply chain here. Those websites need to explain capability and accreditation clearly, not sell on price.
Trades covering the villages
If you’re a builder, electrician, plumber or landscaper based in Woking, your patch runs out through Horsell, Knaphill, Brookwood, Byfleet, West Byfleet, Pyrford and Send. That needs proper service-area pages, not one line listing village names.
Industrial units and light manufacturing
The units at Sheerwater and Old Woking house fabricators, installers, distributors and specialist workshops. Buyers checking you out want spec sheets, delivery areas and proof you’re a going concern — presented so they can find it in thirty seconds.
Community, faith and visitor organisations
Woking is home to the Shah Jahan Mosque, the first purpose-built mosque in Britain, alongside a busy arts and events scene. Organisations like these need calendars, donation routes and accessible pages that work for every visitor.
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 Woking 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. A professional firm in the town centre needs a clean, authoritative site that earns trust from commuter clients. An engineering supplier needs to communicate capability. A tradesperson working out to West Byfleet needs a click-to-call button and a clear coverage area. Mobile responsive across all devices as standard.
Local SEO for Woking
Every site includes SEO setup targeting the town. I’ll optimise your pages for searches ending in “Woking”, set up your Google Business Profile, build local citations and make sure you show up when someone nearby searches for what you do. Competition here is softer than the size of the town suggests, so the map pack is genuinely winnable.
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. With the town centre retail offer concentrated into Victoria Place and the Peacocks Centre, a shop extends your reach well beyond footfall.
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 you’d like content changes handled too. They’re separate things: you can take hosting on its own, a care plan on its own, or neither. Already have hosting? I can work with your existing setup.
WordPress web design in Woking
Every site I build for Woking 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
More on how I build them on my WordPress web design page. If your site is already built and just needs looking after, see WordPress support.
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 — Camberley and Godalming to the west and south, Leatherhead and Reigate along the M25, and Crawley, Horsham and Brighton further down the A23. If you’d like a page targeting one of those as well, here’s 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 Woking if that’s easier.
Then
Quote and mockup
Fixed price, no surprises. I’ll 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 Woking and the villages, mobile testing. You’ll 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 quoteAre you based in Woking?
No — I’m based in Brighton, and I’m straight about that. Most communication happens over Zoom and email, and I travel up to meet clients in Woking when a project calls for it. My office is at Main Floor, Clarendon Mansions, 80 East St, Brighton BN1 1NF if you’d prefer to visit. You don’t need your web designer in the same postcode; you need one who answers.
How much does a website cost?
Most Woking 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. I’ll 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 — and in a town where thousands of people commute into Waterloo in about 24 minutes, a large share of your traffic is someone browsing on a phone with patchy signal. If you want the detail, I’ve 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 your opening hours — all without calling me. I’ll train you during handover so you feel confident managing it yourself.
Do you offer SEO for Woking 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 Woking searches for what you do, you’re the one they find.
What’s the difference between hosting and a care plan?
They’re two separate products. Managed hosting starts at £10/month and covers where the site lives — server, SSL, backups, uptime monitoring and core updates. A care plan starts at £30/month and covers the work on the site itself: content changes, new pages, plugin fixes and hands-on help when you need it. Take one, both or neither.
Do you cover Horsell, Byfleet and the surrounding villages?
Yes. Most Woking businesses I work with sell well beyond the town itself, so I build service-area pages covering the places you actually go: Horsell, Knaphill, Brookwood, Byfleet, West Byfleet, Pyrford, Send and Old Woking. That’s how a trade based in Woking ends up ranking for work in a village five miles out.
Can you take over a website someone else built?
Often, yes. If it’s already on WordPress I can usually adopt it, tidy it up and look after it from there — see WordPress support. If it’s stuck on a builder platform you’re renting, a rebuild usually costs less over two years than carrying on paying the subscription.
