Built to rank for “near me” searches: proper structure, local keywords, Google-ready markup and a Google Business Profile set up to match.
Designed in Kelso for Scottish Borders businesses. Strategy, copy, design and local SEO — live in 10 working days and yours outright.
A full ordering system built into your own site instead of rented from a marketplace: collection & delivery, preorders, kitchen printing and an admin panel. At 300 orders a month, Just Eat commission alone runs to roughly £1,260 — your own app charges none of it.
From £1,045 one-off · built for and running daily at Adam's Kitchen in Hawick.
Live websites I’ve designed and built — click through and try them.

The problem: Just Eat and Uber Eats were taking a 15–35% cut of every order. The build: a full website plus a commission-free ordering app — collection & delivery, preorders, kitchen order printing and an admin panel. The result: every order goes straight to Adam's Kitchen, commission-free.

The problem: all bookings lived in Instagram DMs. The build: a portfolio of 240+ pieces, online booking requests and a private admin dashboard. The result: customers browse the full portfolio and send a structured booking request — no more back-and-forth DMs to book a slot.

I’m an engineer by training — BEng (Hons) — and I’ve spent twenty years delivering engineering projects here in the Borders. I build websites the same way: fixed scope, honest advice, finished when promised.
When you work with Cheviot, there’s no account manager and no call centre. You talk directly to the person designing and building your site, from the first chat to launch and beyond.

The Borders Website Sprint takes 10 working days from kick-off to launch, with the first design concept inside 48 hours. A One-Page Local Launch can be live in under a week. The main variable is how quickly we get your content and photos together.

Yes — every site is built with proper structure, local keywords and Google-ready markup, and I’ll help set up your Google Business Profile. Ranking also depends on reviews and time, and I’ll be honest with you about what’s realistic for your area.

The Scottish Borders is home and my focus — Kelso, Galashiels, Hawick, Melrose, Jedburgh and around. But I’m happy to work with businesses further afield too; most of it happens by phone, WhatsApp and email.
