For growing businesses in and around Farnham
I'm Federica, a one-person web design studio based in Surrey, close to Farnham. I work with established local businesses at a turning point: the maker who's outgrown craft fairs and word of mouth, the independent shop on West Street ready for online orders, the studio near the Maltings that needs a portfolio as good as the work itself. You've proven people want what you make; the website needs to keep up.
Farnham has one of Surrey's more distinctive high streets, all Georgian frontages, craft studios and independent shops rather than chains, with a strong maker and heritage culture built up around the Maltings. Customers here already expect a bit of care in what they buy, and that includes the website they land on first. Most of the work happens remotely, but these areas are all on my patch:
- Farnham town centre
- The Maltings
- West Street
- Weybourne
- Badshot Lea
- Rowledge
- Wrecclesham
- Tilford
- Runfold
- Hale
- Bourne
- Elstead
A little further afield? I also work with businesses in Guildford and Woking, or see the whole of Surrey.
Why this costs less than an agency
Agencies charge £3,000 and up largely for the overheads: office rent, a project manager, an account handler acting as go between. None of it changes what shows up on screen.
Work with me and you deal directly with the person designing and coding your site. I run my own admin through automation instead of paying someone else to do it, so the hours you're paying for go into the build, and into understanding what a Farnham business needs from its website. Same finish you'd get from a good agency, one fixed quote agreed before we start, and no office rent buried in the bill.
Common questions
How much does a web designer cost in Farnham?
You'll know the real numbers before you agree to anything. A custom brochure site starts at £900, and a CMS site you can edit yourself starts at £1,500. Agencies serving Farnham and the Hampshire border tend to start around £3,000 and go up, mostly to cover an office and an account manager rather than a better finished site.
Do you work with Farnham businesses in person?
I'm based in Surrey, close to Farnham, so meeting for a coffee near the Maltings or on West Street is easy enough. Most of the work then happens remotely, which keeps the project moving and your costs down. You get a local contact, without paying for a town-centre studio.
Should I hire a freelancer or an agency?
For a Farnham maker or independent shop that needs a site doing justice to the work, a freelancer usually gives better value with far less back and forth. You deal directly with the person designing and building it, not a project manager in between. Agencies earn their keep once you need a large team, or a brand built entirely from scratch.
I'm stuck on Wix or Squarespace. Can you move me off it?
Yes. I'll migrate you onto something faster and keep your search rankings intact throughout. You'll own the domain, hosting and site afterwards, with no builder subscription still ticking away in the background.
How long does it take?
Expect 2–4 weeks from deposit to launch for a brochure site, depending on how fast your content comes together. I'll give you a firm date up front rather than a rough guess.
Thinking about a new website?
Tell me about your Farnham business and I'll give you an honest view on what would help, and a fixed price to go with it.
