Rated 5/5 by UK businesses
Trusted by businesses throughout the UK
Looking for a website that works just as hard as you do?
Livingston is a competitive commercial town, and most of your customers are searching on their phones.
Without a website, or with one you have long outgrown, people looking for exactly what you do will find a competitor instead.
You never hear about the enquiries you missed.
Many Livingston businesses run almost entirely through Facebook or a marketplace.
That works until the platform changes its rules or your reach quietly drops.
A website of your own is the one asset you control, and it keeps working while you get on with the job.
Web Design Built Around Livingston's Business Community
Livingston is one of Scotland’s most commercially active towns. Built as a new town in the 1960s, it has grown into a genuine business hub.
You will find the Almondvale retail centre, the Designer Outlet, and West Lothian Council headquarters here.
Independent businesses and larger employers sit side by side across its distinctive neighbourhoods. The mix runs from trades in Almondvale, Deans, Dedridge and Howden, to professional firms in the town centre. Hospitality businesses draw customers from Murieston, Craigshill and the original Livingston Village.
Strong transport links via the M8 and regular trains to Edinburgh help the town punch above its weight. That competition creates real opportunities for well-positioned local businesses.
I build websites that fix that, from a base just along the M8 in Carluke.
Proven Track Record: Real Websites for Real Businesses
Here’s a taste of the websites I’ve recently built for businesses throughout the UK. Every website was designed with a single goal: helping that business get found, look great, and win more customers.
What My Clients Say
Don’t just take my word for it. Here’s what business owners say about working with me:
Who I Work With in Livingston and West Lothian
I work with businesses right across West Lothian, from Livingston and Bathgate to Broxburn, Whitburn, Armadale and Linlithgow.
Most are trades and local service businesses: plumbers, electricians and builders who need people searching in EH54 to find them first, not a competitor two towns away. My web design for trades pages set out what I build for each of those trades.
I also work with independent retailers competing against the chains at Almondvale. Cafes, takeaways and hospitality businesses need their menu, hours and location easy to find.
Accountants, solicitors and financial advisers here have a particular challenge. Livingston’s commuter links to Edinburgh mean many residents work in professional sectors and expect the same standard locally. A clear, well-built website settles that question before a word is exchanged.
If you are just starting out, a straightforward site gives you credibility from day one and room to grow into.
SEO in Livingston: Getting Businesses Found on Google
Good local SEO is how a Livingston business shows up when someone nearby searches on Google. I focus on what moves the needle: a strong Google Business Profile, clear local pages, and content that answers what your customers are actually searching for.
When someone in West Lothian searches, several things decide what they see. Website quality, local relevance and ongoing SEO all matter, not just how long you have traded.
Livingston is a major hub in West Lothian, so both Livingston and West Lothian are worth targeting. That gives your website two overlapping audiences rather than one.
Every website I build includes proper local SEO foundations. For businesses that want to go further, I offer dedicated SEO services across Livingston and the wider EH postcode area.
Personal Service and Honest Pricing, With No Agency Fees
For most businesses in Livingston, a local freelancer beats a larger agency at the same price.
When you work with me, you speak to the person designing and building your website from the first conversation.
No account managers, no handoffs, and no gap between what you asked for and what gets delivered. If you have a question, ask me. If something needs changing, I change it.
I do not carry agency overheads, and that saving passes straight to you.
I quote every project as a fixed price before any work begins, with no hidden extras and no surprises.
How Much Does a Website Cost?
I offer three standard options that suit most businesses, plus custom and one-off builds for anything larger or bespoke. Every build includes a free domain name, one year of UK hosting, unlimited business email addresses, and a full year of website care. There is no VAT to add, so the price you see is the price you pay.
One-page Websites
A one-page website puts everything your customers need on one tidy, scrollable page. It is a fast, simple way to get your business online.
It works well if you are just starting out and want to test the waters. It also works well if you have one main service to show, or if you simply need an easy way to be found and contacted.
Brochure Websites
Up to five pages, designed, written and built. Mobile-friendly, with a contact form, Google Map, social links, and Google Analytics and Search Console set up.
Best for sole traders and businesses that want a proper presence and a site that brings in enquiries.
Multi-Page Business Websites
Up to twelve pages. Everything in the Brochure package, plus dedicated service and location pages, stronger internal linking, LocalBusiness schema and image optimisation across the site.
Best for established businesses with several services or areas to cover.
Custom Builds
Larger sites and anything bespoke. These are projects that go beyond standard packages, with custom design and features tailored to how your business works.
Priced on scope after a short discovery chat, so you are never paying for a package that does not fit.
Best for businesses that need more than the standard builds allow.

Your Livingston Web Design Questions Answered

Most take two to four weeks, depending on the size of the site and how quickly the content is ready. I give you a realistic timescale upfront. My guide to what speeds a website build up or slows it down has the detail.

Often yes. A redesign is frequently quicker and cheaper than starting again, and I tell you honestly what is worth keeping.
