Now this one is actually realistic. Edinburgh is about three and a half hours up the motorway from Ramsbottom. I've done longer commutes for worse reasons. This is genuinely the most sensible page in this section, and if you buy me a whisky, I might even drive up.
I'm based in Ramsbottom, Greater Manchester, but I've spent over 20 years in IT and web design, including managing services across 170+ countries. Edinburgh is practically next door in comparison. And it's a far nicer drive than the M60.
Edinburgh is one of the best-looking cities in the world. The Old Town, the New Town, Arthur's Seat, that castle just sitting there on a massive rock like it's completely normal. If you're running a business in a city that stunning, your website should at least try to keep up.
I hand-code every site from scratch. No WordPress themes, no templates, no page builders. Just clean, fast, properly built websites that look good and actually get found on Google. Whether you're a restaurant on the Royal Mile, a tour company near Grassmarket, or a shop on Victoria Street, your site should work as hard as you do.
Every August, Edinburgh fills up with millions of visitors searching for places to eat, drink, sleep and be entertained. If your website is slow, broken, or invisible on Google, you're leaving money on the table during the busiest month of the year. A proper website that loads fast on a phone and ranks for the right searches isn't a luxury. It's a necessity.
Everything is done remotely. Email, video call, phone, whatever works for you. I build your site, you review it, we go back and forth until it's spot on. Fixed prices, no hourly surprises. Websites from £499, fully managed from £30 a month with hosting, SSL, support and a business email forwarder all included.
I also set up Microsoft 365 email, provide remote IT support, and build AI chatbots that can handle customer enquiries on your website 24/7. Handy for when the tourists are browsing at midnight and you're sensibly asleep.
And honestly, if something ever needed an in-person visit, I'd do it. Three and a half hours, a good podcast, and the promise of a whisky at the other end. I've had worse Tuesdays.
