Freelance Website Design & Local SEO, Edinburgh.

Built for Google.
Designed for your customers.

Most websites just sit there. Yours should be bringing in work. Every site I build is made to be found on Google and to earn trust in the few seconds that decide it, then kept climbing with local SEO long after launch.

"As a business based in East Lothian, it was important for us to work with someone who truly understood our brand, our local community, and the standard we aim to set, and Martin delivered all of that and more. The design is clean, modern, responsive, and perfectly aligned with our identity. Martin took the time to understand our services, our values, and the way we communicate with customers in East Lothian and Edinburgh, and he translated that into a website that genuinely elevates our business."

How it works.

Four steps, and you deal with me at every one. Most sites take four to six weeks.

A call, about half an hour. The plan and a fixed price. The first design, then a proper look at it. Live, and then still here.

There's more on the web design page.

Why I work this way.

I've built a system that ties the whole thing together. The first call, the build, the local SEO, the checks that run every month after it's live. It's one thread rather than a series of jobs that end.

That's why nothing slips. Work gets done because a check picked something up, not because I happened to remember. It doesn't stop when the site goes live, and neither does my interest in whether it's actually working for you.

Your success is my success is a cliché, and normally I'd cut a line like that. I'm leaving it in because it's the honest reason I built any of it. I'm not interested in handing over a website and never looking at it again.
