Agencies cost the earth
Big studios carry offices, account managers and sales teams — and you pay for all of it. A lot of what you're quoted never touches your website.

Agency prices or template headaches — there's a better middle
Most small businesses get stuck choosing between an agency that costs thousands and a DIY builder that eats their evenings. A freelancer gives you the skill of the first without the overheads.
You never speak to whoever builds it
Your brief goes through two or three people before it reaches a designer. Every change takes a week and loses something in translation.
DIY builders eat your evenings
Wix and Squarespace look easy until you've spent three weekends on it and it still doesn't show up on Google or work properly on a phone.
What you get
Built to bring the phone to life
Every website I build is designed around one thing: turning a stranger who found you on Google into a paying customer. Here's what's baked in from day one.

- Quick quote form that captures name, address and job type in seconds

- Google Business Profile set up properly, so you appear on Maps
- Photos of your work laid out to build trust in seconds
- Review generation baked in — every happy customer nudged to Google

- Full local SEO from the first line of code

How it works
Straightforward. Start to finish.
Four clear stages, no surprises, and you sign off every one. Typical time from first chat to live site: 1–2 weeks.
The quote
A free chat about the customers you want more of. You get a clear plan and a fixed price — no obligation.
The build
I design and build your site, written to rank and to win jobs. You see it as it takes shape — nothing goes live without your say-so.
The review
You point at anything you're not sure about, and I put it right. Colours, words, photos, layout — it's your site.
The handover
Site goes live, you own it outright, and if you want me to keep it maintained and growing, I stay on it.

Common questions
Asked all the time
Why use a freelance web designer instead of an agency?
You get the same skills without paying for offices, account managers and sales staff. You also speak directly to the person building your site, so decisions are quick and nothing gets lost in a chain of emails.
How much does a freelance web designer in Edinburgh cost?
My websites start from £350 for a simple site. A full lead-generation build with local SEO is priced to scope. Every quote is fixed and agreed before any work starts — no hourly billing.
How quickly do you reply?
Same working day for messages, and fixes to a live site are handled fast. I keep a deliberately small list of clients so every one of them gets proper attention.
Can I see work you've done?
Yes — the sites in my work section are live right now, including an Edinburgh guide that outranks official council pages for some searches with no advertising spend at all.
Do I own the website?
Completely. Your domain, your site, your content. No lock-in — if you ever move on, you take everything with you.
