SO Web Designs completely revamped our website, and we're really pleased with the results. Tom created a modern, professional WordPress website and optimised it around our IT services and local SEO to help us reach more businesses across Hampshire and Surrey. Tom has been fantastic throughout the whole process, always helpful, responsive, and nothing is ever too much trouble. His customer service is amazing. We couldn't be happier and would highly recommend SO Web Designs!Posted on Google![]()

Tom completely turned my website around in terms of how it now performs. For many years I have had my fingers burned dealing with fly by night SEO companies that promise you everything and deliver nothing but disappointment. Tom was confident he could turn things around and even produced proof where it was failing and what needed to be done to remedy the problems. His knowledge of SEO is second to none as well. Tom is now managing my website and business has already increased thanks to his skills.Posted on Google![]()

Having ‘built’ my own website and having marvelled at how beautiful I thought it was, I found that I actually needed help to get it to work properly 😆. Tom was fantastic in every way, from explaining how the site should work to getting it to actually work properly. I randomly stuck a pin in the list of web designers on Google, and hit absolute gold first time! Fast, efficient and such a people person! I couldn’t have hoped for better.Posted on Google![]()

Tom is a great guy- enthusiastic, professional and responsive- everything you want from someone handling your website! After a bad experience with a totally unhelpful and negative developer together with a disastrous hacking of my old website that left it generating casino links and totally undermining my business, I felt lucky and reassured when I found Tom who very quickly rebuilt the site bug free and at a very reasonable cost. Thankyou very much Tom! Thoroughly recommend!!Posted on Google![]()

Tom, thank you so much for helping me finish building my website — I honestly couldn’t have done it without you. I’m so glad I found you!!!! You were incredibly patient, always happy to answer my questions & guiding me through everything step by step. I’m so pleased with how the website has turned out & would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a web developer. Thank you DebbiePosted on Google![]()
BabyScanStudio Ashford Ltd.25 February 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
We have been working with SO Web Designs for nearly a year now, and the results have been outstanding! Which took few months and finally we made it. Tom is very professional , responsive, and always ahead of the curve with the latest trends and updates in the SEO world. We have seen a noticeable improvement in our rankings and an extreme increase with our website traffic and sales. He is very transparent and updates me regularly and keeps me in the loop. This was one of my very important criteria, especially having in the past a bad experience with another SEO company. This shows, how important SEO is and how crucial it is to choose the right, trustworthy company, who puts the workload in (behind the scenes). Highly recommend So Web Designs.Posted on Google![]()
Volleyball Developments17 February 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Tom's commitment to us as a client has been one of the most productive and satisfying B2B relationships we have had in 20 years of operations. Volleyball Developments Ltd is a small firm taking its first full steps into the global marketplace and though we were aware of the opportunities it presented and that we had to make the move, we had only a basic concept of what was needed for a productive internet presence. Tom coached us through the process of bringing our badly outdated website into the 21st-century, made recommendations on how our traditional approach to sales could be adapted into the digital world, began an ongoing process of tutoring us on how to maintain the website, and remained on call to help us when we had a question. SO Web Designs has gone into our book of trusted service providers not just to do periodic MoTs of our website and make sure we haven't goofed up, but as our main man for digital matters. We still have a long way to go in the development of our digital marketing, but SO Web Designs got us over that huge first hurdle, and we know we will never take another major step into the digital world without first touching base with Tom for his advice and guidance on our plans.Posted on Google![]()
