Ric built us a perfect website for our holiday let business. He was incredibly patient and listened to what I was trying to achieve, and let the whole process unfold gradually rather than rushing at it. I cannot recommend Ric highly enough for a website design, nothing was a problem, there was always a solution.

Ric has designed and built 2 web sites for me and it has been very straight forward. Ric is very proactive and responsive which makes the process so much easier, quicker and less costly. I would highly recommend him and he has in fact gone on to build other site's for business colleagues of mine.

Unlike traditional web design agencies that charge high overheads or hidden monthly retainer fees, I provide fixed-price quotes tailored to your budget. Every build includes custom WordPress design, mobile optimization, basic local SEO setup, and secure hosting configuration.

    Most standard small business websites in St Andrews, Cupar, and across Fife are completed and live within 2 to 4 weeks. The exact timeline depends on how quickly content and photos are ready.

    Yes, every website I build includes foundational local SEO best practices built right into the structure. This includes optimizing your titles, page speed, mobile performance, and metadata for keywords like web design Fife, St Andrews, and Cupar. I also help structure your site content to align with your Google Business Profile to boost your visibility in local search results and map packs.

    You own your website 100%. Once your website is built and launched, full ownership of the site, content, and domain name belongs entirely to you. I don't use proprietary page builders that lock you in, nor do I enforce mandatory maintenance contracts. If you want ongoing technical updates and hosting, I offer affordable monthly support, but you are always free to manage it yourself.

    Yes, you can easily update text, add new project photos, or publish blog posts yourself. I build websites using WordPress, the world's most popular content management system. Once the site is live, I provide straightforward, jargon-free instructions so you or your staff can make basic updates anytime without needing to pay a developer for minor tweaks.

    To get started, all I need is a brief overview of your business, your logo, high-resolution photos (if you have them), and an idea of the pages you need (e.g., Home, Services, About, Contact). If you don't have written copy ready, don't worry, I can help refine your text to ensure it targets local Fife customers effectively and drives real enquiries.
