Why Galashiels businesses choose us
Galashiels is the Scottish Borders' largest town and commercial hub, serving a wide catchment across Selkirkshire and the surrounding area. Businesses here compete for customers from across the Borders, and an online presence is increasingly the way trades, retailers and professional services firms get found in this spread out region.

We understand Galashiels businesses and what your local customers expect from a website. That insight shapes everything we build.
Fast Turnaround
Starter sites from 5 working days. No waiting months for your website while your competitors get ahead.
Transparent Pricing
Fixed prices from £750. No hidden fees, no surprise invoices and no retainer needed.
We found 104 businesses in Galashiels with a website problem. 78 of them had no working site at all.
Galashiels is the biggest town in the Borders and follows the region's pattern of high rates. Seventy eight of the hundred and four businesses we flagged had nothing a customer could use, fourteen of them with a website that no longer loaded. Salons dominated the sample. That matters, because a salon lives on new customers finding it, reading reviews and booking without having to phone.

Sampled from hair salons, beauty salons, plumbers, joiners, restaurants, cafes, physiotherapists and hauliers listed in and around Galashiels. These are the 104 that had something wrong with them. Plenty of Galashiels businesses have perfectly good websites and are not counted here.
None of this is a dig at Galashiels. It is the case for bothering. If your site loads fast, works on a phone and is secure, you are already ahead of most of the businesses a customer is choosing between.
If you want to know which side of that list you are on, we will check your site and tell you, free, whether or not you ever hire us. Most of what turns up takes an afternoon to fix.
Sites for Galashiels businesses start at £750 at a fixed price and go live in as little as 5 days. No retainer needed and no surprise invoices. See what each package includes.
What a client said
"Letting is a competitive market and a decent website is not optional anymore. The site we got is clean, fast and shows up well in search. We have had new landlords get in touch who found us through Google and that has never happened before."
