Your Edinburgh business may be excellent, but a dated website can make people doubt it before they call. Visitors compare you with nearby firms, hotels, shops and consultants in seconds. If your website hides prices, services or proof, the enquiry often goes to someone else.
Edinburgh is not one simple market. Tourism businesses compete for seasonal bookings, professional firms compete for trust, and trades compete across crowded local search results. Historic buildings also bring strict conservation rules and practical limits. You need more than website design Edinburgh. You need one system that brings in and handles work.
The problem
Edinburgh customers compare your site with polished firms, hotels and shops. Old photographs, unclear services or missing prices can make good work look less trustworthy than it is.
Replace the dated site with clear proof and services
You cannot answer while driving, serving guests, treating clients or working on a property. Each unanswered call may go to a competitor before you see the message.
Add an AI receptionist that answers every call
Businesses in Leith, New Town and beyond compete for tight local searches. An incomplete Google Business Profile and thin service pages leave buyers with fewer reasons to choose you.
Improve your profile and build useful local pages

No Upfront Option
No setup fee. A template site built for your trade, with hosting, care and the AI receptionist included. For businesses who want to start now without the upfront cost.
Start with no upfront costQuote request
Two minutes of questions and we will send back a real number, not a range. Website packages start at £1,295, ecommerce from £2,495, and there is a no upfront option at £199 a month.
The result
Visitors arrive with clearer expectations and better information. Your forms collect the details needed to price work, book dates or decide whether an enquiry is suitable.
Calls no longer depend entirely on whether you are free at that moment. The AI receptionist records the essentials and sends them to you by text.
Your services, areas, opening times and reviews are easier to find and understand. Edinburgh customers can see why your business fits before contacting you.
01
Your website should work while you are meeting clients, serving guests or finishing a job. We build the central place for your services, prices, areas, availability and proof. We also connect the tools around it, so your website is not left sitting alone after launch.
From Newcastle upon Tyne, we deliver the work over video call and email. You deal with the same person throughout. That keeps decisions quick, avoids travel costs and gives you one team for web development Edinburgh businesses can actually use.
02
People search for specific help, such as a roofer in Leith, a hotel near the Old Town, or an accountant in Stockbridge. We make your website and Google Business Profile explain exactly what you offer, where you work and why people should choose you.
This is more than adding Edinburgh to every page. We build useful local pages, improve your business details and keep your profile active. The result is a stronger starting point when people compare firms in Morningside, New Town, Portobello or beyond.
More detail
Open the parts you care about. Everything here is on the page, just tidied away.
A vague message rarely gives you enough to quote. We create forms that ask only for the details your team needs. That could mean property type, location, dates, budget, number of guests or the urgency of a repair.
Good forms save time on both sides. They help visitors choose the right service and give you a cleaner brief before the first conversation. We can also connect calls, forms and booking requests, so every useful enquiry has a clear next step.
A strong review can matter more than another paragraph about your business. People booking a stay, hiring a tradesperson or choosing an adviser want evidence from customers like them. We place reviews, case studies, qualifications and clear work examples where they support a decision.
After each completed job, we help you request feedback at the right time. Positive reviews build confidence. Useful feedback also shows where your service needs attention. This creates proof that keeps working after the original job is finished.
Missed calls often arrive when you are driving, with a customer, or dealing with a busy hotel or shop. Our AI receptionist answers in your business name, 24 hours a day. It takes the caller's details, sorts urgency and texts you straight away.
It costs £169 a month on its own, or £199 a month with Website Care. It does not replace your judgement. It makes sure useful calls do not disappear into voicemail while you are working.
Google Ads can put your service in front of people ready to act. We manage campaigns for the areas, services and times that matter to you. This can help when tourism demand changes, seasonal trades get busy, or a new service needs attention.
Management is £449 a month. Your ad spend goes directly to Google and is never marked up. We track calls, forms and real jobs, not just clicks, so you can see what the campaign is actually producing.
A website should not stop growing on launch day. Our SEO and Content service costs £249 a month. Each month brings two useful pages or articles, local search work, Google Business Profile posts, listing updates, rank tracking and a reporting call.
You can add Automated Social Media for £99 a month. It plans, writes and posts to Facebook and Instagram for your approval. The Intelligent Marketing Coach costs £49 a month and turns your marketing plan into weekly tasks you can complete.
Our website design Edinburgh packages are published, so you can compare the starting point before a sales call. Essentials is £1,295 for a credible presence. Complete is £1,995 for businesses losing work to missed calls. Growth is £2,495 for businesses ready to buy leads through Google.
We also build ecommerce shops from £2,495, direct booking websites from £2,495, and appointment booking websites from £1,495 to £1,995. Website Care is required at £59 a month. It includes hosting, security, backups, updates and support. If upfront cost is the barrier, choose £199 a month over 24 months, with no setup fee.
The honest comparison
It is a fair question, and it deserves a straight answer rather than a sales pitch.
If you simply need a basic online presence, a low-cost website builder may be enough. Somewhere to point people who already know your name. If that is genuinely all you need, do that and spend the money elsewhere. We would rather tell you that than take a fee for something you will not use.
Our websites are designed for established businesses that want Google traffic to turn into calls, enquiries and customers. Copy, tracking, conversion setup and ongoing management are built in. That is a different product solving a different problem, and it is priced accordingly.
A £199 builder site
Fine for a basic presence. Not built to win work.
A Look North website
Built so search traffic becomes booked jobs.
Who writes the words
A £199 builder site
You do, usually at 11pm, into a blank box.
A Look North website
We do. Copywriting for every page is included, written around the jobs you actually want.
Whether it shows up on Google
A £199 builder site
It will rank for your business name. Not much else.
A Look North website
A page for every service and every town you cover, structured so each one can rank.
What happens to an enquiry
A £199 builder site
A contact form emails you. If you miss it, you miss it.
A Look North website
Quote forms written for your trade, instant SMS and email alerts, and every enquiry stored so none are lost.
When the phone rings and you are on a job
A £199 builder site
It goes to voicemail. Most callers hang up and ring the next business.
A Look North website
Our AI receptionist answers 24/7 in your business name, takes the details and texts you straight away.
Knowing what is working
A £199 builder site
A visitor counter, if that.
A Look North website
Call tracking, conversion tracking and call attribution, so you know which clicks became real jobs.
Getting reviews
A £199 builder site
You remember to ask, sometimes.
A Look North website
Review generation set up so a request goes out after every job, with the results shown on your site.
What happens after launch
A £199 builder site
Nothing. It sits there until you cancel the subscription.
A Look North website
The Marketing Coach gives you a plan broken into weekly jobs, so the site keeps earning its keep.
Who owns it
A £199 builder site
The platform. Stop paying and it disappears.
A Look North website
You do. The code, the domain, the hosting account and the content are yours.
Speed on a phone
A £199 builder site
Template bloat, often slow, which costs you rankings and visitors.
A Look North website
Built mobile first, because that is where almost every local search happens.
When something breaks
A £199 builder site
A help centre article and a support queue.
A Look North website
Website Care at £59 a month: monitoring, backups, updates, and a person who answers.
If the upfront cost is the blocker rather than the quality, we do a no upfront option at £199 a month on a 24 month term. That is not a builder subscription. It is a real site built for your trade, with hosting, Website Care and the AI receptionist included, live in 5 working days. The difference between that and a £199 builder site is the difference between renting a van and renting a parking space.
What the difference buys
Not features. The things that change how much work comes in.
A missed call is a customer ringing your competitor. The AI receptionist picks up 24/7, qualifies the job and texts you. Most trades win back more than the cost of the whole website in the first few months.
One page cannot rank for eight services across twelve towns. We build a page for each, so you show up for the specific job someone is searching for right now.
Not "how much for a bathroom?" but property type, scale, access, timing and photos. You quote accurately, first, without a site visit.
A review request after every job. In a year you have the review count competitors cannot catch up with, and reviews are the last thing a customer checks before calling.
Copywriting for every page is included. No blank boxes, no writing your own service descriptions at 11pm, no page that sounds like everyone else.
Call tracking and conversion tracking show which clicks turned into jobs. You stop guessing which half of the marketing worked.
The Marketing Coach turns a strategy into weekly jobs small enough to actually finish. That is why our sites are still growing a year later.
Code, domain, hosting, content and your Google Business Profile. Nothing switches off if you leave, because nothing was rented to you.
If a basic presence is all you need, a builder is the sensible choice and we will say so. If you want the phone to ring more often, that is what we build. Get a fixed price.
