Web Design in Inverness and Across the Highlands
When your customers are scattered over a very large area and most of them arrive on a phone, the website has to do more of the work. Ours start at £74 a month, hosting and support included.
- Designed, written and built for you
- Hosting, security and updates included
- Talk to a real person, not a ticket system
- Rolling monthly, leave whenever you like
These are the businesses we work with
Real websites we've built and still look after, for trades, professionals and independent businesses across the UK.
Inverness web design for businesses covering a lot of ground
Inverness is the service centre for an enormous area. A plumber here might take jobs up the Black Isle, out towards Nairn or down the Great Glen, and a visitor business might be fielding enquiries from people who have not set foot in Scotland yet. Both situations put more weight on the website than they would in a dense city.
Tourism makes it sharper again. Someone planning a trip is comparing you against other options at eleven at night from several hundred miles away, often on a phone with the lights off. If your site is slow, or your availability and prices are unclear, they simply book elsewhere.
We are based in Cardiff, which makes no practical difference to a Highland business used to working at distance. Phone, email and video calls, with a reply inside one working day.
Every plan and figure sits on our web design prices page, and our about page explains who you would actually be dealing with. Most of your customers will arrive on a phone, which is why we build mobile first.
Highland businesses we build websites for
Tourism and hospitality
Guest houses, self catering, tour and activity operators that need availability, prices and booking links that are easy to find.
Trades covering a wide area
Joiners, electricians and plumbers working across Inverness, the Black Isle, Nairn and the Great Glen.
Rural and land based businesses
Agricultural services, contractors and suppliers whose customers are spread thinly across the Highlands.
Shops and professional services
Independents and consultancies in the city that need to look established to customers who may never visit in person.
Four problems we built the plans around
Small firms kept telling us the same things about their last website. These are the ones that came up again and again.
Too much money on day one
Rather than £2,000 or more before you start, you pay one fixed monthly amount covering the build and the upkeep.
Nobody picks up the phone
No call centre, no chatbot gate. Ring 029 2167 1825 or send the form and a person replies within one working day.
Months of silence mid build
A clear process and a realistic date, with most sites going live inside a fortnight of us having your words and photos.
Tied in for a year or more
Plans run month to month with no fixed term and no exit fee, so we have to keep earning it.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about web design in Inverness.
How much should a small business in Inverness 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.
Can you build a website for a Highland guest house or tour business?+
Yes. We make availability, prices and the booking route obvious, and link to whichever booking platform you already use. Most of your visitors will be on a phone, so that is the layout we design first.
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 the wider Highlands, not just Inverness?+
Yes. We work with businesses in Inverness, Nairn, Dingwall, Fort William, Aviemore and across the Highland area, and the distance makes no difference to how we work.
If I leave, what do I take with me?+
Your website files and your domain. We hand the files over and move the domain into your name, so another designer or host can carry straight on.
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.
