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!

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

Professional WordPress Web Design Services in Hampshire
WordPress Web Design Experts
At SO Web Designs, every website we build for Hampshire businesses is created on WordPress, the world’s most trusted website platform. We design each site from scratch, tailored to your business, your audience, and your goals. Whether you’re a tradesperson, retailer, restaurant, or professional services firm based in Southampton, Portsmouth, Winchester, Basingstoke, or anywhere across the GU and SO postcodes, your website will be mobile-friendly, fast-loading, and built to convert visitors into customers.
With over 15 years of experience delivering websites across Hampshire and Surrey, we understand the local market. We know your customers are searching locally, and we build websites designed to be found, not just to look good.
WordPress Web Design Hampshire
Why Use WordPress For Your Hampshire Business?
WordPress powers over 40% of all websites on the internet, and for good reason. It’s flexible, scalable, easy to manage, and supported by a vast ecosystem of plugins and tools. For Hampshire businesses, it means you get a fully custom website you can update yourself, adding new pages, blog posts, products, or promotions, without needing a developer every time. And when you do need support, Tom is on hand to help. We build every WordPress site to be secure, fast, and ready to grow with your business.
A slow website costs you, customers. Studies show that over 50% of visitors leave a page that takes more than 3 seconds to load, and Google uses page speed as a ranking factor. Every website we build for Hampshire businesses is performance-optimised from day one: compressed images, clean code, fast hosting, and full compliance with Core Web Vitals. Your site will load quickly on every device, desktop, tablet, and mobile, so you never lose a potential customer to a slow page.
We also build on-page SEO into every site as standard. Your headings, meta titles, meta descriptions, image alt text, and internal linking structure are all set up correctly before launch, giving you a head start on ranking in Hampshire and the surrounding area.
Personalised Service & Support
Clear, Straightforward Communication and 5 Star Reviews
When you work with SO Web Designs, you’re not just another project number in a queue. You’ll work directly with experienced professionals who take the time to understand your Hampshire business, your goals, and your vision.
We believe in clear, straightforward communication; you’ll always know what we’re working on, what progress we’re making, and what comes next. This personalised approach extends beyond the design and development phase.
When you need support, you’ll talk to someone who knows your website and your business. We’re responsive, reliable, and committed to your success.
For Hampshire businesses, having a web design partner who genuinely cares about your outcomes makes all the difference.
