Websites that look right, work properly and get found.
Bespoke website design, maintenance and SEO services for businesses in Edinburgh and across Scotland. You deal with me directly, start to finish.
What I do
Three services that work together. Most clients start with one and end up using all three, because a website that is designed well, looked after properly and found in Google is the same job done in the right order.
Website Design
A website built around your business rather than a template with your logo dropped into it. I plan the structure, design the pages, build them in WordPress and test them on real phones before anyone talks about a launch date. Search is part of the build, not a job for later.
Website Maintenance
WordPress needs looking after. I handle updates, security, backups and the small content changes that otherwise sit on your to do list for months, and I keep an eye on how quickly the site loads. Your site stays online, stays safe and stays current without you having to think about it.
SEO Services
Keyword and competitor research, technical fixes, on-page work, local SEO services and your Google Business Profile, then steady content and honest reporting. The aim is not vanity rankings. It is more of the right people finding you, and enquiries worth answering.
Why businesses stay with Outlaw Web
Most of my clients who chose me to create their business website design and SEO services have been with me for well over a decade. This is usually why.
You deal with me
Every conversation, design decision and line of code goes through the same person. Nothing gets lost between an account manager and a developer you never speak to.
Design and SEO are one job
A site that looks good but cannot be found is half a website. Search is built into the structure, the content and the code from the start.
Bespoke, not a template
Layouts are built around your services, your customers and the enquiries you actually want, rather than whatever a stock theme happened to include.
Local when it helps
I meet clients face to face in Edinburgh and across central Scotland. Everywhere else works perfectly well by video call and screen sharing.
Support that continues after launch
Launch day is the start. Maintenance, content changes and SEO campaigns carry on for as long as they are useful to you.
Straight answers
I will not promise you the top of Google in thirty days, because nobody can honestly promise that. I will tell you what is realistic and how long it usually takes.
How working together goes
No long proposals full of jargon. A conversation, a clear plan, then the work.
First conversation
A free, no obligation chat about the business, what you sell, who you sell it to and what the website needs to do. In Edinburgh that can be face to face over a coffee. Anywhere else, a video call works just as well.
Plan and quote
You get a written plan: the pages, the structure, the search terms worth targeting, what I will build and how long it will take, with a fixed quote. No work starts until you are happy with it.
Design and build
Design first, then the build in WordPress. You see the design before anything is coded, and you see the site as it comes together rather than waiting for a big reveal at the end.
Review and launch
Testing on phones, tablets and desktop, checking loading speed and accessibility, setting up redirects so existing rankings survive the move, then launch and a walkthrough so you can update the site yourself.
Ongoing support
Maintenance to keep the site secure and current, changes when the business changes, and SEO campaigns with reporting you can actually read.

Where I work
I am based in Edinburgh and meet clients face to face across the city and central Scotland: Leith, New Town, Old Town, Southside, Stockbridge, Morningside, Bruntsfield and Corstorphine, as well as the Lothians, Fife, the Scottish Borders, Falkirk, Stirling, Livingston and Dunfermline.
I also work with businesses in Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen, Perth, Inverness and the rest of the UK by video call and screen sharing, which suits plenty of clients perfectly well.
Tell me what you are trying to fix
Whether it is a new website, a site that needs looking after or search rankings that have gone quiet, send me a few lines about it and I will tell you honestly what I would do and what it involves.
