Start Your Edinburgh Project →About EdinburghThe Market,
The Market,
In Plain English.
I'm Bowei, and I'm a one-person web studio. I build websites for Edinburgh businesses. One designer, one developer, one writer, all me. From a boutique financial adviser off Charlotte Square to a Leith creative studio to an Old Town tour operator, the same pair of hands writes and builds the site.
Edinburgh is the second-largest financial centre in the UK outside London, and that shapes a lot of the small-business work I see from the city. On top of that, tourism around the Old Town and Royal Mile, the festival economy, and the tech startup scene that grew up around CodeBase all generate their own web demand.
Fixed pricing: £250 Starter in ten business days, £400 Business in fourteen, £1,000 Growth in fourteen priority. I'm actively taking on Edinburgh clients, remote-first.

Who I build for in EdinburghThe Businesses
The Businesses
This Works For.
Edinburgh boutique financial firms almost always need Business tier at £400: a few service pages, adviser bios, a contact form, and a credibility-first design. Tourism and hospitality single-venue operators fit Starter at £250 comfortably. Growth at £1,000 suits multi-site hospitality or festival-related businesses with complex offerings.
Edinburgh tech startups at pre-seed or seed stage usually benefit most from a Starter build at £250: one focused page that explains what you do and makes it easy to book a demo or call. Full product sites and marketing sites for funded teams typically need Business or Growth.
Edinburgh customer searches run specific and practical: "wealth manager Edinburgh New Town", "restaurant Leith Shore", "Airbnb management Old Town", "biotech startup Edinburgh". Festival-adjacent businesses see big August traffic spikes, so I build those sites to handle a seasonal load without the hosting bill jumping.

Business districts & characterWhere the Work
Where the Work
Actually Lives.
Edinburgh's financial services sector runs through the New Town, the West End, and around St Andrew Square: pension firms, wealth managers, boutique investment advisers, specialist insurance. Many of the smaller firms operate out of townhouses converted to offices and need a site that reads as credible at the same level as the much larger firms next door.
Tourism and hospitality dominate the Old Town, Royal Mile, and Grassmarket, with a seasonal peak during the festival that makes August effectively a different year for many businesses. Leith and Stockbridge carry more of the independent retail, creative, and food-and-drink scenes. Edinburgh's tech startup cluster, while smaller than Dublin's or London's, is real and concentrated around the university and CodeBase.
Edinburgh buyers tend to appreciate understatement. Loud marketing reads worse here than in many UK cities. I write Edinburgh sites with restraint and specificity, which suits the financial services audience in particular.
Leith (EH6) has quietly become one of the best independent food and drink districts in the UK, with a concentrated cluster of restaurants, wine bars, and small producers around the Shore. Stockbridge (EH3) carries more of the affluent neighbourhood retail. The Bioquarter at Little France, south of the centre, anchors a life-sciences cluster around the Royal Infirmary and the medical school, with smaller biotech and medtech spinouts orbiting it. EH1 is the Old Town core, EH2 is the New Town and financial district, EH8 covers the university and Newington. Customers search by those postcodes and by neighbourhood, not by "Edinburgh" alone.
How I'd build for youMy Approach
My Approach
for Edinburgh.
For an Edinburgh project, I'll read what you have, look at competitors, and come back with a fixed quote within a day. Once agreed, I write the copy, build the site, wire up analytics, and set up Google Business Profile. Starter live in ten business days, Business in fourteen, Growth in fourteen priority.
At launch you own the code, the domain, and the hosting. No retainer, no ongoing minimums. If you want later changes you can come back or take it elsewhere.
A typical Edinburgh Business build: day one I scope, day two we agree and you send brand assets, days three to eight I write copy and build pages, day nine staging link, days ten to thirteen revisions, day fourteen launch with analytics, Google Business Profile, and schema. Starter tier compresses to ten business days on the same rhythm.
Common questions
Edinburgh FAQ.
Yes, actively. Boutique financial firms in Edinburgh usually need Business at £400: three to five service pages, adviser bios, a clear contact flow, and a design that reads as credible next to much bigger firms. Growth at £1,000 suits larger multi-partner firms with deeper content needs.
Starter at £250 is enough for a single-venue Old Town cafe, bar, or tour operator: hero, offering, hours, contact, map, and Google Business Profile. Live in ten business days. Business at £400 is better if you run multiple venues or need a booking flow.
Yes. Local SEO is part of every build. Google Business Profile, schema, consistent NAP, Edinburgh-specific copy. Edinburgh search is competitive in financial and tourism categories, so I focus on specific long-tail searches your customers actually use.
Rarely. I'm based in London and work remotely with Edinburgh clients. Most projects run fully on video and email. For a Growth-tier financial or multi-site hospitality brief, I can arrange an in-person kickoff, but it isn't needed for most builds.
Each of those is a separate local-search catchment, so an Edinburgh site won't rank in Glasgow by default. I add a secondary page per catchment you serve, with real content about how you work with clients in that area, proper schema, and internal links. It's honest local SEO, not doorway pages, and it brings in wider central-belt enquiries over three to six months.
