Frequently Asked Questions
What web design services do you offer in Fleet?
We offer a full range of web design services for Fleet businesses, including bespoke WordPress website design, website redesigns, WooCommerce e-commerce development, landing pages, and ongoing website maintenance. All websites are mobile-friendly, fast-loading, and built with SEO in mind from the start.
Do you offer SEO services for Fleet businesses?
Yes. Alongside web design, we offer local SEO services tailored to Fleet and the surrounding GU51 and GU52 areas. This includes keyword research, on-page SEO, Google Business Profile optimisation, and monthly reporting. We can manage your SEO as a standalone service or as part of a combined web design and SEO package.
How much does a website cost for a Fleet business?
Our websites start from £695 for a professional 5-page WordPress site, ideal for small businesses, sole traders, and start-ups. Mid-range bespoke builds start from £1,295, and full e-commerce websites start from £2,995. We'll always provide a clear, itemised quote before any work begins, no surprises, no hidden fees.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most websites are completed within 3 to 6 weeks from the point we receive your content and sign-off. The timeline depends on the project's size and complexity. We'll agree on a schedule at the start, keep you updated throughout, and won't go quiet on you mid-project.
Can you build e-commerce websites for Fleet businesses?
Absolutely. We build WooCommerce online shops for Fleet businesses selling physical products, digital downloads, or services. We set up everything from product listings and categories to payment gateways and delivery options. We can also train you to manage the shop yourself once it's live.
Can you redesign my existing Fleet business website?
Yes, website redesigns are one of our most popular services. If your current site looks outdated, loads slowly, or isn't generating enquiries, we can rebuild it on WordPress with a modern design, improved performance, and proper SEO. We'll often audit your existing site first to identify the key issues before we start.
Are you available for in-person meetings in Fleet?
Yes. We're based in Aldershot, just 10 minutes from Fleet, and are happy to meet clients in Fleet or work remotely via video call, whichever suits you. Most of our Fleet clients prefer a quick call to get started, but we're always happy to come to you.
What makes SO Web Designs different from other web designers in Fleet?
We're a local, owner-run business. When you work with us, you deal directly with Tom, not an account manager or an overseas team. We've been designing websites for Hampshire and Surrey businesses since 2009, and we take genuine pride in every project. We don't disappear after launch; ongoing support, updates, and honest advice are all part of the service.
Do you provide website hosting for Fleet businesses?
Yes. We offer managed WordPress hosting as part of our website management plans, covering security monitoring, daily backups, uptime monitoring, and SSL certificates. Because we're also the people who built your site, any hosting issues get resolved quickly and without explanation — you're not dealing with a generic support desk. Hosting and management plans are available alongside a new build or as a standalone service for existing WordPress sites.
Can you help with copywriting and content for my Fleet business website?
Yes. Many Fleet clients come to us with a clear idea of what they want their website to do but aren't sure what to write. We regularly produce page copy, service descriptions, and about pages — either from scratch or working from rough notes or a conversation. If you have content ready, we'll use it; if not, it's not a barrier to getting started. Copywriting can be quoted as part of your project.
I already have a website — can you take over maintaining it without a full rebuild?
In most cases, yes. If your existing site runs on WordPress and is fundamentally sound, we can take it on for ongoing maintenance, updates, and support without rebuilding from scratch. We'd carry out a quick audit first to flag any security, performance, or structural issues that need addressing. This is a common arrangement for Fleet businesses who've outgrown their original developer or simply want more responsive, local support going forward.
