About Inverurie Website Design
A Local Aberdeenshire Website Designer
Inverurie Website Design has been operating for more than fifteen years and covers Aberdeenshire as well as further afield. I was born in Aberdeenshire and went to Inverurie Academy, so no problems with Buchan and Doric.
We can keep correspondence on the phone and email, or we can meet in my office for a friendly chat, I am easy to talk to.
My method is to initially find out which kind of website is best for your business. The website will then be designed on a test site, which will give you the opportunity to influence the construction of the website before publication.
I Specialise in Hand-coded Unique HTML5/CSS3 Websistes
I build websites from scratch using unique clean, hand-coded HTML5/CSS3 because it eliminates unnecessary code bloat. Unlike WordPress or automated page builders, which rely on heavy database queries and slow third-party plugins, our hand-coded sites load instantly, offer superior security against hackers, and achieve an optimum performance.
I also build content management systems such as Squarespace, if you need control over your own website. These types of websites are very good for e-commerce solutions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a website cost?
£350 for a one-page website which has several sections; Home, About, Services, Contact & Footer.
Do you have a physical office?
Yes, and I prefer to meet people face to face, but phone and email can also work.
What do I need to do?
Send the content for the website, including pictures and any details you want on the website with perhaps an idea of a colour theme if you have a theme already in mind.
Can I make changes to the website?
No, if it is an HTML/CSS website
Yes, if it’s a CMS website such as Squarespace
How long does it usually take to build a website?
Typically, around 4 weeks, but this can be shorter and depends on when I receive content for the website. Equally it may take some time for you to decide on content.
Do your services include basic SEO best practices, like optimising image sizes, page structures, and meta descriptions?
Yes, SEO is our speciality in HTML/CSS builds. There is a certain amount of automation in CMS systems which is less effective.
Do you design bespoke, custom sites from scratch, or do you customise pre-built themes and templates?
All HTML/CSS websites are built from scratch with no templates used. This provides the perfect opportunity to create what you want. CMS solutions on the other hand use templates and there are constraints with any template.
What happens when the website is ready to be published?
The website once published will be verified with Google, a sitemap will be uploaded to Google and Bing so that they can find, crawl and discover all parts of the website and index accordingly.
Website Services
Bespoke Hand-Coded Web Design (Max Performance)
HTML5/CSS3 coded static standalone websites are non-template based and are recognized as a premium, high-performance approach by the tech industry.
These are Ideal for businesses across Aberdeenshire because there is no software background database or heavy template engine to slow the website down. They also feature airtight security unlike WordPress and carry
zero ongoing monthly maintenance fees.
Flat rate starting at £350 for a 1-page custom website as a one off payment. These websites cannot be edited by yourself [for this see CMS websites below]
Content Management System (CMS)
Looking for total content control instead? We also build stunning, custom-styled Squarespace platforms if you prefer to manage your own day-to-day updates.
These websites are perfect for selling online. E-commerce websites accept all the major credit cards and PayPal. These websites have many handy tools for maintaining your stock levels. Uploading pictures and changing text can be easily achieved.
These websites are paid monthly.
Prices Not Scary at All
No constant monthly subscriptions or update fees that are tied to automated page builders means
zero monthly charge due to the clean handwritten HTML5/CSS3.
Our websites start for as little as £350 for a basic website.
Domain names are charged at market prices with a .co.uk. being the cheapest. Other domain endings such as .scot are more expensive.
Changes to the website design are charged at £40 per hour – but we can do a lot in an hour! Small changes, such as telephone numbers are not charged.
SEO & AI Search Optimization for Websites
Getting found on Google is only half the battle. Today, customers are using conversational AI assistants like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot to find local trades and tradespeople. Standard, bloated website templates make it incredibly difficult for these modern AI models to parse what you do.
Because we build your website using unique, hand-coded HTML5 semantic structure and custom Structured Schema Markup, AI engines can effortlessly crawl, read, and understand your business data. This clean framework acts as the hidden code that hand-feeds essential data—like your exact service lines, location details, and active opening hours—directly to Large Language Models (LLMs).
This is GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation): Structuring content so AI models (like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude) can read and promote your content more efectively.
We also write and design websites with a view to cover AEO (Answer Engine Optimization). This approach optimises your website so that it’s content can be used by search engines in the form of a direct answer and Google AI featured snippets.
Logos & Digital Drawings
We also have years of experience with graphics and we’ll be happy to design you a professional logo that can be used throughout your business let alone the website.
We will supply you with full size images in JPEG format as well as PNG format (where the background is transparant so that you can print on a toned card without a square white background).
These designs can be used for logos, business cards, letterheads, and are even large enough for lorry sides and large billboards with no blurring.
Examples of Our Work
Free Transfers of Domains or Order a New One For Your Website
We can transfer your current domain address or order a new one and get your new website up and running fast, with no monthly fee.
We can meet up in my office within Aberdeenshire or simply set up a website design over the phone.
The choice is yours.
Email, Outlook, IMAP or POP3 – No problems for us!
We can set up an email account for you with your chosen domain ending.
All email accounts come with antivirus software installed.
Hand coded marketing templates that look like a web page with links in an email you send can also be designed to order.
Website Hosting – All Bells Ringing
Hosting is where your website and emails will be stored and this is where the buy cheap pay dear saying comes into full force with its meaning.
The hosting we use is of a premium quality. It is dual hosted in two separate geographical locations for security that’s always backed up (you don’t need to do a thing) on a Linux server.
It’s what the banks use, so we do too. This hosting has high specifications with a fast speed and 99.9% uptime.
Help & advice when setting up Google Business
These are the advert like places on the right-hand side of the page when you look up someone’s business on Google.
The impact on your website’s ranking due to Google Business is huge, and therefore a must to have. Your business will also appear on Google maps.
Google Business displays information such as a description of your business, opening times, and of course a handy link straight to your website.

What customers are saying
"
Rupert from Inverurie Website Design has created two websites for me now, and each has been uniquely designed precisely for my needs. His outstanding quality during the process for me, was the amount of collaboration in the process. Starting my new coaching business required a personal touch, a website that reflected the inner me and not just another cookie cutter coaching website. When I knew what I wanted, Rupert knew how to do it - but even more valuably, when I was unsure, he was able to coax out of me what I needed and suggest options, from the finest detail of the logo through to the whole look of the site, he was able to tailor it to my unique needs while still maximising the reach of the website through his extensive knowledge of Search Engine Optimisation. All this for a reasonable and transparent cost.
Inverurie Website Design may be a satisfyingly local Aberdeenshire business, but with his attention to detail and desire to personalise and tailor to my needs, makes it clear his talents would be valuable whichever location you might be.
I can highly recommend.

He was very good at explaining the procedure and answering all of my questions, so I understood every step of the design. Rupert is very friendly, patient and very easy to talk to. We worked well together to create a website which has exceeded my expectations. It's nice to work with a local business providing a personal touch. I am delighted with the overall outcome. I highly recommend Inverurie Website Design.

I initially contacted Rupert to update my website. Rupert quite simply got it spot on ! I know absolutely nothing about technology so he had to explain things ( more than once ) so I could understand. I had an idea of what I would like but Rupert made it even better than I hoped for! Since Rupert started looking after my website for me it’s super easy to make any changes, Rupert is very responsive and professional. He knows his stuff 👌 Thank you 😊

When I started my dream therapy business last year, I knew a website would be essential, so I asked Inverurie Website Design if they could help me. I received a first class, professional service, which is still ongoing. Nothing is too much trouble and alterations are made cheerfully and quickly. My website is better than I had ever thought possible. The imagery is breathtaking! Everything is laid out carefully, in an easy to find, tidy manner. And the great thing about my website is that it is totally unique! I cannot recommend them highly enough! So, if you are even thinking of replacing your old website or starting a new one from scratch, speak to Rupert at Inverurie Website Design first, and you are bound to find that you won't need to go anywhere else.
