Serving Jedburgh
Web design for Jedburgh businesses
Jedburgh is the first Scottish town most people meet coming up the A68, ten miles north of the border. That makes it a town of decisions taken at speed — where to stop, where to eat, whether to stay. I build websites that win those decisions before the driver reaches the town.
The Jedburgh reality
Twenty minutes out, still driving, one hand on a phone
A great deal of Jedburgh trade is decided by a passenger searching "coffee Jedburgh" or "somewhere to stay near Jedburgh Abbey" while the car is still moving. That's a specific and unforgiving context: a weak signal, a small screen, seconds of patience and a competitor one tap away.
Websites that lose that moment usually lose it the same way — a large hero video, a cookie wall, a menu locked in a PDF, or opening hours that only appear after scrolling past three photographs. Those are all fixable, and fixing them is most of the work.
What a driver needs, in order
Are you open now. Where exactly, and is there parking. What does it look like inside. How much. Then, and only then, everything else.
Who I build for here
Passing trade, and the businesses that live off it
Jedburgh is one of the most-visited towns in the Borders, with the Abbey, the castle jail and Mary Queen of Scots' House drawing people off the road — but the visitor economy supports a lot more than the attractions themselves.
Accommodation
Rooms, photographs, price and a way to request or book tonight's stay in under a minute, without ringing a landline.
Shops & local services
Independent retailers and trades who need locals to find them and visitors to notice them — one site doing both jobs honestly.
Straight answers
Questions I get from Jedburgh businesses
My customers are passing through. Is a website really worth it?
For passing trade it's often worth more, not less. A local who knows you doesn't need a website; a driver on the A68 deciding where to stop has nothing else to go on. If your hours, parking and photographs load in two seconds on a weak signal, you get the stop.
Will it work on a bad mobile signal?
That's a design constraint I take seriously here. Pages are kept light and served from the nearest edge location, so they still load on a couple of bars. Heavy image sliders and video backgrounds are exactly what fails on the A68, and I don't build them.
Should I be in Google Maps rather than have a website?
Both, and they need to agree. Your Google Business Profile is what a driver actually sees first, and Google trusts it more when a website confirms the same name, address, hours and phone number. I set the profile up alongside the site so they reinforce each other.
How much does a website for a Jedburgh business cost?
From £249 for a one-page site — often the right answer for a small café or shop relying on passing trade — and £399 for a full small-business site. Fixed price before any work starts.
