  • Our Surrey web design services

    Websites today come in all shapes and sizes and we recognise there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to web design projects for local businesses.

    Sure, there are companies offering basic editable templates and off the shelf website packages but we wanted to deliver a more bespoke experience to our clients.

    Because showcasing your business online and winning new customers is more vital today than ever before our approach to website design focuses on user experience first and foremost. We take pride in engaging with our clients at a conceptual level long before any technical design work begins. This is to ensure we don’t just deliver a high quality premium finish, but we create an experience that resonates with your audience.

    We work primarily with the world’s most popular CMS, WordPress, allowing us the creative freedom to produce a website that fulfils all of your goals whilst at the same time providing a simple and recognisable interface for being able to update, add content and make changes to your site yourself. WordPress’ almost unlimited flexibility ensures there’s nothing to hold back your ultimate vision and we’ll work with you to fully realise the site you’ve always pictured.

    The combination of WordPress and specialist visual editor Elementor forms the backbone of our design output for Surrey clients but we can also accommodate more intricate bespoke web design projects requiring a ground up development approach. We have experience working with technologies such as Laravel and JavaScript frameworks such as ReactJS and Next.JS, so do contact us if you have a more demanding project requiring a solution more complex than can be accommodated by web design freelancers and smaller agencies.

  • Why work with us - the Preface Studios difference

    When choosing a web design agency you want to know you’re investing your money with a reliable partner you can trust

    Many companies and even individual designers will promise you whatever you’re seeking but don’t always have the know-how to back up their ambitions to win your business.

    The reason we get so much repeat business, along with referrals and recommendations, not to mention our string of glowing testimonials, is that we’re genuinely passionate, highly skilled web design artisans. We don’t have loads of account managers and sales reps inflating our workforce. We have talented web designers ready to talk realistically about your website ambitions.

    Some agencies will talk a good game but at Preface Studios we’re doers not talkers. We deliver highly efficient modern, responsive websites designed for smooth and seamless user experience. What’s more, by choosing to work with us you’ll benefit from the following:

    Work with specialist WordPress developers

    We’ve grown up with WordPress and work with it every day. We know the platform inside out and we know just how powerful it can be without having to resort to shortcuts and scores of third party plugins.

    Solid foundation

    The most successful web design projects continually evolve as the build progresses. We start with in-depth discussions to truly understand your business requirements and then sketch out early designs and wireframes before a single line of code is written.

    Speedy UK hosting

    Our specialist WordPress hosting keeps your site online and responsive no matter how busy it may get.

    Local optimisation

    Local businesses need to know they’re targeting local customers and at Preface Studios we’re a local business too so we understand the need to ensure your site reaches the right local audience, whether that’s in Surrey or further afield.

    Digital marketing expertise

    As well as the most talented designers and developers we also work with online marketing specialists who can ensure your new site isn’t just gorgeous, but it’s being found by your desired audience. We have specialism with local SEO, inbound marketing, email marketing and paid advertising.
