Rob Lynes12 August 2026SO 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 GoogleCrazy Panda1237 August 2026I have been using So Web Designs for 10+ years now for my business, Tom is a great guy and so easy to work with, also his ongoing support is crucial for us and nothing is ever too much trouble, he has also just completed a website and google page / marketing for my partners start up business and the results are truly outstanding, I cant believe the ranking and traffic we are getting from that over such a short period of time.Posted on GoogleRuss Chadd29 July 2026Tom 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 GoogleStrategic Music Management19 May 2026Tom has built us fantastic Websites over the last few years. He understands the needs for each project/website and delivers every time. Great communication and always delivers on time. Highly recommend using SO Web Designs.Posted on GoogleSarah Barratt22 April 2026Having ‘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 GoogleEddie Braun21 March 2026Tom 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 GoogleDebbie Hargreaves5 March 2026Tom, 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 GoogleBabyScanStudio Ashford Ltd.25 February 2026We 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 GoogleVolleyball Developments17 February 2026Tom'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 GoogleJulian18 December 2025Great service received from this company, extremely happy with Tom and his work 👍🏻 willing to go the extra mile.Posted on GoogleSara Boytchev12 November 2025Tom is fantastic, highly recommend!

I came across SO Web Designs' details via another local business and from the initial communication to the launch of the new website, Tom has been very pleasant and professional throughout. All elements of the design were discussed and reviewed and no question was left unanswered. Would highly recommend.Posted on GoogleMatt Pattison3 June 2025Tom created two websites for me and was a great help from start to finish. Both websites incorporated different bookings systems which he also helped to find so we had one that suited our needs. He was always and still is on hand to help out when needed. Would highly recommend.Posted on GoogleStuart Potter29 May 2025My old developer left me in a total mess, Tom stepped in and sorted the all my issues in record time. Nothing is too much of a problem, he just gets on and sorts it with enthusiasm. Cannot recommend enough. 5 Stars StuartPosted on GoogleKatrina Headon8 April 2025We worked with Tom at SO Web Designs to improve our website, and he did a brilliant job.

His advice and direction have made us so successful and i cannot praise him enough! Looking forward to more growth this year with his help. You are simply amazing!Posted on GoogleFirstSight Southampton24 January 2024We worked with Tom to create our website in a short space of time. This was only possible because of Tom's response times, as we made many many updates over several months. The website is complex in several ways / has a range of functionalities so we are grateful that he was able to assist and create the website we wanted. Thank you!Posted on GoogleVice Squad24 October 2022Tom is a most amazing person, not only very knowledgeable and confident in his work but also friendly, inspirational and encouraging. I am a full time musician and composer in a UK Rock band who's website has been in need of refreshing and updating for a long time. The pandemic and after effects of such major disruption ( primarily loss of live work ) meant that I had to have a quick loading, efficient web site with merchandise shop that works safely and securely. I had been receiving all kinds of suggestions from various web builders throughout pandemic, some advice contradicting what others said and much of it beyond my scope of understanding. I was so fortunate after months of frustration to have emailed Tom and soon received a call back from him which instantly put my mind at ease. Within a matter of days I had my revamped band website up and running, with streamlined look, merch store, payment gateway and shopping cart all integrated perfectly. Websites are a complex, expensive and yet essential part of business and I have no hesitation in recommending Tom to handle your online business website, he made it easy and affordable for us to achieve our goals in a short, stress free time. 5 STARSPosted on GoogleLisa Grove3 September 2020Tom built my website when I first started out three years ago. He also gave me the tools to keep it updated with a quick guided tour around the admin side of WordPress. Three years on and I've happily updated and tweaked things myself. Until today. I'd somehow lost my testimonials (they were still there, but lurking in the background), along with a list of other tweaks I wanted to make but was unsure how to do. Tom called me this morning and has sorted everything on my list, without any hesitation. He's a pleasure to deal with and goes out of his way to not only meet your expectation, but exceed it. I can't recommend his services highly enough. If your looking to have your website built from scratch, managed or SEO optimised, don't look any further that SO Website Designs.Posted on GoogleNick Lambert24 August 2020Well what can i say,firstly not being up to date with all the high tech webworld ,,it was refreshing to finally find somebody that was not just able to do what i needed but also to explain everything to me in English and show me how it all worked.
