East Kilbride web design for Scotland's largest new town
East Kilbride is big, around seventy five thousand people, and it is laid out in distinct neighbourhoods rather than around a single centre. Westwood, Calderwood, St Leonards and the rest each have their own run of local businesses, and the town centre and the industrial estates sit apart from all of them.
For a local trade or service that layout cuts both ways. There is plenty of work within a short drive, but no natural passing trade that carries your name across the town. Most people pick up their phone, search, and choose from what comes back, which is why being present in local search does more here than a sign on a van ever will.
We are based in Cardiff and work with South Lanarkshire clients by phone, email and video call. Nothing about the build needs you to be in the room.
Every plan and figure sits on our web design prices page, and our about page explains who you would actually be dealing with.
East Kilbride businesses we build websites for
Trades across the town and beyond
Joiners, electricians, plumbers, roofers and landscapers covering East Kilbride, Hamilton, Rutherglen and the villages around.
Local services
Garages, salons, childcare, dog grooming and cleaning businesses that depend on nearby searches.
Industrial estate businesses
Suppliers, workshops and service firms on the estates who sell to other businesses rather than passers by.
Clinics and professional services
Dentists, therapists, accountants and consultants who need to look established before anyone gets in touch.
The things that put people off web designers
It is almost never the design itself. It is the bill that grows, the week with no reply, and the site nobody touches after launch. Here is how we handle each one.
A price that keeps climbing
Hosting, an email address, a domain renewal, another page. Our plans fold hosting, SSL, security and support into one figure, and the only listed add-on is £50 per extra Starter page.
Waiting days for an answer
You deal with Robert and a small team, not a ticket queue, and every enquiry gets a reply within one working day.
Builds that run on and on
A five page site should not take three months. Ours are usually live within 7 to 14 days of your content arriving.
Paying for every small edit
A price change, a new photo, different opening hours. Each plan carries monthly update time so routine changes do not come with an invoice.

I'm Robert, the person behind Forte Web Solutions. After earning a degree in Applied Geography, I spent my early career in GIS roles for Welsh Water and Cardiff Council, then moved into digital marketing at the University of Glamorgan.
In 2012 I co-founded Forte Web Solutions with one goal: help small businesses get more leads and keep them. From trades to therapists, I kept hearing the same thing: “We just want a website that works, and doesn't cost the earth.”
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about web design in East Kilbride.
How do I get found across the whole of East Kilbride?+
By being specific. A single page listing every neighbourhood tends to do little, whereas a well written page about the town plus honest detail about where you actually work, and a properly filled in Google Business Profile, is what puts you in the local results.
How much should a small business in East Kilbride pay for a website?+
Ours start at £74 a month, covering the design, hosting, security and ongoing updates, so there is no large bill at the start and no separate maintenance charge later.
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 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.
Do you cover Hamilton, Rutherglen and the rest of South Lanarkshire?+
Yes. We work with businesses in East Kilbride, Hamilton, Motherwell, Rutherglen, Strathaven and across South Lanarkshire.
How long am I committed for?+
Only the month you are in. There is no fixed term on any plan and no charge for leaving.
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.
