Dundee web design that keeps your cash in the business
Dundee has changed a great deal in a decade. The waterfront brought design and culture to the front of how the city sells itself, and there is a real cluster of small creative and games businesses here, alongside the trades, shops and services that keep any city of its size running.
What has not changed is that a small firm in Lochee or Broughty Ferry cannot easily find two thousand pounds for a website before it has produced a single enquiry. Spreading it monthly means the site has to earn its place rather than being a bet you place up front.
We are Cardiff based and work with Dundee clients by phone, email and video call, with a preview link so you can see exactly what you are getting before it goes anywhere near the public.
You can compare the three plans on our pricing page. If you just need something simple online quickly, see our quick, low cost option. New to the idea of paying monthly? Here is what it means in plain English.
Who we build websites for in Dundee
Creative and digital studios
Designers, developers and games studios who need a portfolio that loads fast and reads clearly.
Trades across Dundee and Angus
Joiners, electricians, plumbers and roofers covering the city, Monifieth, Carnoustie, Arbroath and Forfar.
Shops and hospitality
Independents in Broughty Ferry and the city centre needing menus, hours and a way to be found.
Services and care businesses
Clinics, consultants and care providers who need to look trustworthy before anyone picks up the phone.
Heard any of these before?
These are the four sentences we hear most often from people who have already been through a website build once.
“They wanted it all upfront”
Handing over a few thousand pounds before a single enquiry arrives is a lot to risk. We spread it from £74 a month instead.
“The quote made no sense”
Plain English only. What is included, what is not, and what it costs, all before you commit to anything.
“After launch they vanished”
We are still here afterwards. Hosting, backups, security patches and monthly updates are part of every plan.
“I could not take my site with me”
You can with us. Leave whenever you like and we hand over your website files and move your domain into your name.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about web design in Dundee.
What does a Dundee website cost?+
Starter is £74 a month, Professional £249 and Business £649. There is no build invoice, and your domain, hosting, SSL, security and support sit inside the monthly price.
Can you build a portfolio site for a Dundee design or games studio?+
Yes. Portfolio work needs images that load quickly and a clear line on what you do and who you do it for. We build it so the work is the first thing a visitor sees, not a wall of text.
How soon could my site be live?+
Usually 7 to 14 days from the point your words, photos and logo reach us. Getting the content over is the part that sets the pace.
Is there a minimum term?+
No. Plans run month to month, there is no exit fee, and nothing to sign that locks you in for a year.
Do you cover Angus and north east Fife?+
Yes. We work with businesses in Dundee, Broughty Ferry, Monifieth, Carnoustie, Arbroath, Forfar and across Angus, as well as the Fife side of the Tay.
What happens to my site if I stop paying?+
We give you the website files and transfer the domain to you. What stops is the service around it: the hosting, the patching and the support.
How will we keep in touch during the build?+
However suits you best: phone, email or a video call. You deal with Robert and the same small team from first chat to launch.
