For growing businesses in and around Leatherhead
I'm Federica, a one-person web design studio based in Surrey, close to Leatherhead. I work with established local businesses at a turning point: the trade going from a van to a small team, the B2B service outgrowing referrals from the business park, the consultancy picking up clients from further along the M25. You've built a business that works; the website needs to look like it can handle bigger jobs.
Leatherhead has a compact town centre, but the real economic engine is the business parks and trades economy around it, plus the reach into Bookham, Fetcham and the M25 corridor beyond. A lot of your enquiries already come through referral and reputation, and the website's job is to back that up the moment someone checks you out before calling. Most of the work happens remotely, but these areas are all on my patch:
- Leatherhead town centre
- Great Bookham
- Little Bookham
- Fetcham
- Ashtead
- Mole Business Park
- Givons Grove
- Pachesham
- Randalls Park
- Headley
- Effingham
- Hawks Hill
Outside Leatherhead itself? I also cover Guildford and Woking, or see the whole of Surrey.
Why this costs less than an agency
Most of what you'd pay an agency goes on the studio around the work rather than the work itself: an office, a project manager, someone whose job is passing messages between you and the builder.
With me you're dealing directly with the person designing and building the site, not passing messages through a middleman. I run my own admin and scheduling with automation rather than hiring someone else to do it, so the time you're paying for goes into the build, and into understanding what a trade or B2B service based around Leatherhead needs from a website. Same standard as a good agency, one fixed quote agreed up front, and no office overheads hidden in what you pay.
Common questions
How much does a web designer cost in Leatherhead?
You'll see the real numbers before you commit to anything. A custom brochure site starts at £900, a CMS site you can edit yourself starts at £1,500. Agencies covering Leatherhead and the M25 business-park corridor tend to start near £3,000 and climb, mostly because you're paying for an office and an account manager, not a better end result.
Do you work with Leatherhead businesses in person?
I'm based in Surrey, close to Leatherhead, so meeting in the town centre or out at one of the business parks is easy enough. Most of the work then happens remotely, which keeps things quick and keeps your costs down. You get a local contact, without paying for an office on the business park.
Should I hire a freelancer or an agency?
For a Leatherhead trade or B2B service that needs a site bringing in enquiries, a freelancer usually gives better value with far less hassle than an agency. You deal directly with the person building your site, not a project manager relaying feedback. Agencies earn their keep once you need a large team, or a brand built completely from scratch.
I'm stuck on Wix or Squarespace. Can you move me off it?
Yes. I'll transfer your content and protect your search rankings during the move to a custom build. Once it's done you own the domain, hosting and site outright, and the builder subscription stops.
How long does it take?
A brochure site normally takes 2–4 weeks from deposit to launch, depending on how quickly your content arrives. I'll set a firm date before we start rather than leave it open-ended.
