Custom websites for Reigate businesses ready to grow, built to load fast, rank on Google and turn High Street footfall into online enquiries too. Agency-quality without the agency overhead, at a fixed price you own outright.
I'm Federica, a one-person web design studio based in Surrey, not far from Reigate. I work with established local businesses at a turning point: the boutique on the High Street that's outgrown word of mouth, the accountant or consultant picking up clients from the commuter crowd, the café that needs online bookings and a menu people can read on a phone. You've built something that works, and now the website needs to catch up.
Reigate sits below the North Downs, with one of Surrey's better High Streets for independent shops and places to eat, and a lot of residents commuting into London for work. That mix means customers expect a site that looks the part and loads instantly, whether they're browsing on the train or searching from home in the evening. Most of the work happens remotely, and Redhill and the villages around are all part of my patch:
Based further out, or after somewhere else in Surrey? I also build for businesses in Guildford and Woking, or see the whole of Surrey.
Most of an agency's £3,000-plus quote pays for things that never touch your website: the office lease, a project manager, someone paid purely to relay your feedback to whoever is doing the work.
With me, you work directly with the person designing and coding it. I run my own admin and scheduling with automation rather than hiring someone else to do it, so the hours you're paying for go into the build itself, and into understanding what a Reigate business like yours needs from it. Same quality you'd get from a good agency, a fixed quote agreed up front, and no office rent hidden in the invoice.
You'll see real numbers before you commit to anything. A custom brochure site starts at £900, and a CMS site you can edit yourself starts at £1,500. Agencies covering Reigate and Redhill tend to start near £3,000 and rise from there, mostly because you're funding an office and an account manager on top of the build, not because the finished site is any better.
I'm based in Surrey, close enough to meet for a coffee on Reigate High Street or over in Redhill if that's easier. Most of the actual work then happens remotely, which keeps the project moving quickly and your costs down. You get a local contact, without paying for a High Street office.
For a growing Reigate business, a boutique, café or professional practice that needs a fast site bringing in enquiries, a freelancer usually gives better value with far less hassle. You deal directly with the person building your site, not a project manager passing your feedback along. Agencies start to earn their keep once you need a large team, or a brand built completely from scratch.
Yes. I'll move you onto a faster, custom site and protect your content and search rankings on the way over. Afterwards you own the domain, the hosting and the site itself, so there's no more monthly builder fee to think about.
A brochure site usually takes 2–4 weeks from deposit to launch, depending on how quickly you get me your content. I'll agree a firm date with you before we start, not a vague window.
Tell me about your Reigate business and I'll give you an honest view on what would help, and a fixed price to go with it.
