Websites for Woking businesses

A 23-storey Hilton in Victoria Square, McLaren's Technology Centre on the town edge, and a centre almost entirely rebuilt in the 20th century.

Woking grew up because of the railway. The town only really took off in the 1860s, when the London Necropolis Company started selling off the spare land around Brookwood Cemetery for housing and the new station at the south end of the High Street became the railhead for west Surrey. Almost everything in the centre dates from after that — the shopping arcades, the two malls, the office blocks. The 1889 Shah Jahan Mosque off Oriental Road is older than most of the rest of it, and was the first purpose-built Muslim place of worship in the UK. Walk down Commercial Way past the Peacocks and Wolsey Place, and the high street mix is mostly chains, with the small independents pushed into Market Walk under the new granite paving.

Working with Woking

Most of the independent trade in Woking now sits under one roof or in the new covered market. Victoria Place is the main shopping centre, with over 100 stores in the town centre. Wolsey Place and the older Peacocks sit on either side of Jubilee Square, and Market Walk — the covered market between Jubilee Square and the former bandstand — has 15 purpose-built permanent kiosks for food and produce traders. Beyond retail, the big local employers are less obvious. McLaren runs its Technology Centre and Production Centre on the edge of the town centre, on a 50-hectare site opened by the Queen in 2004, and was the borough's largest employer as of 2013. Asahi Breweries has its UK headquarters here, taking over from the old SABMiller operation. The Woking Chamber of Commerce covers most of the tradesmen, salons and small professional firms working across GU21 and GU22.

Every Woking site is hand-coded, mobile-first, and shipped on its own domain. There's nothing for you to maintain — hosting, SSL, backups, updates and small content edits are all in the £25/month plan. You'll deal directly with me from brief to launch, by email or WhatsApp, in plain English.

Local economy

Real Woking small businesses, not stock photos

Every Woking brief lands somewhere on the same map of shops, salons, trades and indie operators. Here are some of the real Woking businesses I've researched while writing this page — the kind of place a clean £25/month site is built for.

Borough of Woking population 103,900 at the 2021 Census, across an area of 64 sq km with 30 elected councillors (Wikipedia, citing ONS 2021).

FAQs

Woking web design — common questions

How much does a website for a Woking small business cost?

I charge a flat £25 a month with no setup fee, hosting and SSL included, so a typical café, salon or tradesman site in GU21 or GU22 costs £300 a year all in. No contract, cancel any month.

Do you build sites for businesses around Woking town centre and the surrounding villages?

Yes — anywhere across the borough, from the High Street and Commercial Way out to Knaphill, Horsell, Old Woking, Sheerwater, Maybury, West Byfleet and Byfleet. The £25/month plan and turnaround are the same whichever side of the railway you're on.

How long does it take to get a Woking business site live?

Most one-page or small multi-page sites go live inside two to three weeks, depending on how quickly I get your photos, opening hours and any menu or service list from you.

Will my site show up in Google for searches in Woking?

I include basic on-page SEO — sensible page titles, descriptions, fast mobile loads and the right local schema — but I don't sell SEO packages, content marketing, blogs or Google Ads. If you want someone chasing rankings, that's a different conversation and a different fee.

Can you run my Google Business Profile or do social media for me as well?

No — and that's deliberate. I don't take on Google Business Profile, SEO retainers, blogs, social media or paid ads. I just build the site, keep it hosted, and do small edits the same day when you need them.
