Do you understand the Scottish-law differences in terms and privacy copy?

Yes — Scottish jurisdiction is a real thing for businesses registered in Scotland (governing law clauses, consumer-rights enforcement, Court of Session vs High Court). We're not solicitors; what we deliver is template-quality copy that your Scottish solicitor can sign off in 20 minutes instead of three hours.

What happens to my site capacity during the Fringe?

Hosting is on a global edge network — your site handles a 10× traffic spike in August the same way it handles a Tuesday in February. No 'upgrade your plan' email when bookings start spiking from August 1.

Can you handle a multilingual Royal Mile audience — French, German, Mandarin, Spanish?

Yes — additional languages are included at no extra cost. The Fringe and the tourist season bring substantial French, German, and Mandarin-speaking traffic, and a multilingual landing experience converts measurably better than translate-button workarounds. We'll publish in the languages that drive bookings.

Do you register .scot domains as well as .co.uk?

Both — we register and renew either for you at no markup, or connect an existing domain from any registrar. A .scot domain reads particularly well for heritage businesses and is increasingly recognised in Scottish search results.

01Edinburgh context

Why Edinburgh has a website rhythm of its own.

Edinburgh's business cycle is unusual — August is a city of one million extra residents while the rest of the year runs at a steadier pace. A guesthouse in Marchmont, a whisky tasting in the Old Town, an advocate's practice in the West End, a bookshop in Stockbridge: each lives a different rhythm. The shared problem is that summer brings a wall of international visitors checking your site on Three or O2 roaming, and most local websites weren't built for that load or that browser mix.

Edinburgh agency rates have crept up — a custom build in 2026 typically runs £4,500–£20,000 with a Scottish-law-aware terms-and-privacy retainer on top. For a four-room guesthouse on Bruntsfield Place, a single-advocate practice, or a working studio in Leith, that price competes with hiring help during the Fringe or kitting out a new room; the website has to earn its share.

We replace the agency dilemma with a fixed monthly pound price. Design, hosting on a global edge network, your .co.uk or .scot domain, ongoing content updates, and UK-GDPR-aware data handling are all in one bill — and the site loads as fast for a Newhaven local on 4G as it does for a guest checking from a hotel in Singapore the night before they fly.

02Edinburgh use-cases

Three kinds of Edinburgh business we build sites for.

Fringe-cycle hospitality

Guesthouses, B&Bs, and small tour operators

A direct-booking enquiry form that beats OTA commissions, room or tour galleries that hold up on a phone, season-aware availability copy (August is its own world; January is not), and Stripe deposit handling — so the next booking lands in your inbox at full margin, not skimmed 15% by Booking.com.

Professional services

Advocates, accountants, and consultancy practices

A clean professional site with proper bios, sector pages, and Scottish-law-aware terms and privacy copy (the legal regime differs from England in ways that matter), enquiry intake forms that route by practice area, and the discretion the regulator expects — no over-promising taglines, no aggressive lead-capture pop-ups.

Heritage retail & specialist food

Bookshops, whisky merchants, and Royal Mile retailers

Product or visit-us pages that survive the Fringe-foot-traffic phone-camera-and-Google moment, online-shop pages when international visitors want to ship a bottle home, and a privacy banner that respects the Royal Mile visitor's first-time tap rather than ambushing them.

03Local proof

Pricing, payments, and compliance in pounds and Scots law where it matters.

Cookie banner configured for ICO guidance, a privacy policy aligned to your sector, and terms-of-service language that reflects Scottish jurisdiction where the business is registered north of the border.
