About
SS Web Design is a specialist web design and development agency built on over two decades of experience, more than a thousand websites, and a process that protects every project.
Web design is not a service we stumbled into. It is where this whole organisation began.
Before there was a group of agencies, before there were offices across the UK, before there were awards and guarantees and a thousand websites in the portfolio, there was a teenager teaching himself to build websites because he wanted to understand how they worked.
That teenager is now the managing director of SOS Creativity Group, which SS Web Design sits within. And the curiosity that started everything has never really gone away.
Where we started
Stephen Solademi built his first website at 14. Not from a template. Not with a drag-and-drop tool. He learned how it worked, why it worked, and what happened when it did not. That curiosity led to a BSc in Computing and Web Development, a first job in the industry as a developer, and eventually the founding of a web design company that has grown into a multi-brand group spanning web design, digital marketing, creative design, and print.
The agency that became SOS Creativity Group started as a web design business. That origin is not incidental. It is the foundation everything else is built on. Web design and development are not services the group added to round out a marketing offer. They are where the expertise runs deepest, where the track record is longest, and where the standards are set from the inside out rather than adopted from the industry.
SS Web Design is the dedicated web brand within that group. Specialist, focused, and built on more than two decades of doing this work at the sharp end.
Our approach is simple
A clear plan before anything begins.
Nothing starts until the brief is agreed and documented.
Approved design, then development.
No building until the client has approved every detail.
Six stages, every time.
A defined process followed without exception on every project.
No surprises at the end.
The finished site matches exactly what was agreed.

What we have built
Over a thousand websites.
That number covers a wide range of sectors, business sizes, and technical requirements. Healthcare practices and housing associations. Property developers and precision engineers. Educational institutions and commercial electricians. Wedding boutiques and city councils. eCommerce brands generating seven-figure annual revenues and service businesses whose entire lead flow comes from a single, well-built website.
Each project in that portfolio taught us something. About what clients actually need versus what they think they need. About the project management decisions that keep builds on time and the ones that derail them. About the design choices that build trust with a visitor in three seconds and the ones that quietly undermine it. About the technical decisions made during a build that pay dividends three years later and the ones that create debt.
That accumulated knowledge is not stored in a document somewhere. It is in the process we use on every project, in the questions we ask at the start of every brief, and in the standards, we hold ourselves to on every line of code and every design decision.
How we work
The clear path
Most web projects go wrong for the same reasons. No clear plan. Development starting before the design is agreed. Changes made mid-build. Scope creeping without a managed process. A finished site that surprises the client in ways they were not expecting.
We have seen all of these. Early in the history of the business, some of them happened on our watch. The Clear Path methodology exists because we took those experiences seriously and built a process that prevents them.
Every project runs through six defined stages in the same order. Plan. Design. Approve. Build. Launch. Maintain. Nothing begins until the previous stage is complete. Nothing is built until the design is signed off. That sequence is not bureaucratic. It is what keeps projects on time, on budget, and on brief, and it is what produces a finished site that the client recognises from the design they approved rather than something that drifted during the build.
It sounds straightforward because it is. Most agencies do not follow it consistently. We do, on every project, without exception.
What we believe about web design
A website is not a brochure. It is not a vanity project. It is not a line item to tick off before moving on to marketing. It is the hardest-working member of a business’s commercial team, available at all hours, making first impressions on behalf of the organisation, and either converting the visitors it earns or losing them to a competitor whose site does it better.
That means every decision made during a web project carries commercial weight. The architecture affects how well the site ranks. The performance affects how many visitors stay long enough to convert. The design affects whether a visitor’s first impression builds confidence or raises questions. The CMS configuration affects whether the business can keep the site current or becomes dependent on an agency for every update.
We make these decisions with that commercial weight in mind on every project we take on. Not just the ones with big budgets. All of them.
Part of something bigger
SS Web Design sits within SOS Creativity Group alongside two other specialist agencies.
The group’s digital marketing and SEO arm. SOS Creativity specialises in helping businesses be found online, convert the traffic they earn, and track the commercial results of their marketing with genuine attribution rigour. For SS Web Design clients who need their new site to rank and perform in search from day one, the SEO expertise of SOS Creativity is directly available.
The group’s dedicated creative agency, based in Hampshire. Design Image handles brand identity, graphic design, photography, videography, large-format print, and signage. For clients building a new website who also need their brand identity refined or their visual assets updated, Design Image provides that capability without the need for a separate agency relationship.
The group’s print and design production brand, based in Cheshire. Mustang Digital manages print projects from concept to delivery, ensuring that the brand created online translates consistently into the physical materials a business puts into the world.
Working with SS Web Design means access to that full group capability when you need it. A new website that connects to a refreshed brand identity. Marketing that drives traffic to a site built to convert it. Print materials that carry the same visual language as the digital presence. All of it coordinated, none of it outsourced to parties who do not know the brand.

Our Guarantee
Every project we take on comes with a guarantee. If we do not deliver what we have committed to, you do not pay.
That guarantee is credible because of the process behind it. The Clear Path methodology prevents the majority of the problems that lead to disappointing web projects. The depth of experience behind every build means we scope accurately, anticipate problems before they occur, and hold ourselves to standards that produce sites worth guaranteeing.
Most web agencies do not offer a guarantee. The reason is usually that they are not confident enough in their process to back it. We are.
