Livingston web design for a town built around business parks
Livingston is not a town that grew slowly around a high street. It was planned, and it shows in the way the business community is laid out: a lot of it sits on industrial estates and business parks at Houstoun, Kirkton and Deans, mixed with retail at the centre and residential areas spread between them.
That matters for a website more than it sounds. If you are a supplier or a service business on one of those estates, almost nobody finds you by walking past. They find you because somebody searched, or because a buyer in another company was asked to source something and started typing. The site has to answer that search and look like a going concern when it does.
We are based in Cardiff and work with West Lothian clients by phone, email and video call, which suits businesses whose own customers are often elsewhere anyway.
There is a full breakdown on our web design prices page, or you can see websites we have built for other small businesses.

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.

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 Livingston.
How much should a small business in Livingston 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 business on a Livingston industrial estate?+
Yes, and it is a slightly different job from a shopfront site. Buyers want to see what you supply, who you already work with and how to get a quote, without hunting. We build it around that and keep the technical detail easy to scan.
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.
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.
Do you cover Bathgate, Broxburn and Linlithgow?+
Yes. We work with businesses in Livingston, Bathgate, Broxburn, Linlithgow, Whitburn and across West Lothian.
Do I own the website you build?+
Your domain and your content are yours throughout. If you decide to go, we also hand over the files that make up the site so you can take it elsewhere.
You are in Cardiff. Does that matter?+
Not in practice. We work with clients right across Scotland by phone, email and video call, and you get a reply within one working day either way.
