Brumley Brae Kennels & Cattery
A warm, professional website for a family-run dog kennels and cattery set on 15 acres of Moray countryside near Elgin.
The Client
Brumley Brae is a family-run dog kennels and cattery on the outskirts of Elgin, set across 15 acres of open Moray countryside. They offer far more than standard boarding — from doggy day care and a secure exercise field to hydro-bath grooming and an on-site retail shop. Their approach is hands-on, caring, and rooted in giving pets a genuine countryside experience rather than a cramped urban kennel stay.
With a loyal customer base and a strong reputation locally, they needed a website that properly reflected the quality of their facilities and the breadth of what they offer.
The Challenge
Brumley Brae had six distinct services to communicate clearly, plus detailed pricing, policies, a comprehensive FAQ, and a 29-image gallery — all without overwhelming visitors. The site needed to reassure pet owners that their animals would be safe, happy and well looked after, while also making it easy to check availability and get in touch.
Key requirements included:
- Showcase all six services with clear, dedicated pages
- Build trust and reassure anxious pet owners through imagery and tone
- Present transparent pricing and booking policies
- Feature a gallery that shows off the countryside setting and facilities
- Rank well for local searches in Elgin and Moray
- A contact form with booking-specific fields like arrival dates and pet numbers
- Fast, mobile-friendly experience — pet owners often search on their phones
The Solution
I built a bespoke website from scratch that captures the warmth and countryside character of Brumley Brae while keeping everything practical and easy to navigate. The design is friendly and inviting, reflecting the care the team puts into looking after every animal.
Each of the six services — dog boarding, cat boarding, doggy day care, the secure exercise field, hydro-bath grooming, and the retail shop — has its own dedicated page with detailed information, so visitors can find exactly what they need without wading through irrelevant content.
- Custom design with a warm, welcoming feel that matches the brand
- Dedicated pages for each of the six services
- Transparent pricing page with clear tables and booking terms
- Comprehensive FAQ section to answer common questions upfront and reduce enquiry friction
- Photo gallery showcasing the 15-acre grounds, facilities and happy animals
- Custom contact form with arrival/pickup dates, pet numbers and enquiry type
- Local SEO targeting dog kennels and cattery searches in Elgin and Moray
- Schema markup for local business visibility
- Fully responsive, mobile-first build with fast load times

With strong local SEO foundations targeting Elgin and Moray, the site is built to capture searches from pet owners looking for trusted kennels and cattery services in the area.
