Web design in Forres and west Moray
Forres has a strong mix of independent shops, tourism, hospitality and trades, with Findhorn, Kinloss and the countryside around it. I build websites that help those businesses get found by locals and visitors alike.
Forres web design that brings in work
Visitors to Sueno’s Stone, Grant Park and Findhorn Bay are searching on their phones, often while they’re already here. A quick, clear site with opening times, directions and a tap-to-call button wins those visits.
Local customers want the same things: to see your work, read a few reviews and get in touch without hunting for a phone number.
Web design across west Moray
I work with businesses all over west Moray: Kinloss, Findhorn, Burghead, Rafford, Dyke and Brodie, and over the border to Nairn. If you also serve Nairn or Inverness, I’ll build pages for those areas too, so you show up in the places your customers search from.

What local clients say
5.0from 59 Google reviewsColourjam made our website look amazing — fast, professional, and reliable. Would not go anywhere else.
We have had the website designed and supported by Colourjam and it’s exactly what we asked for. The ongoing support for updates and changes over the year is quick and excellent.
Chris at Colourjam has built the Community Council an amazing new website, and we couldn’t be happier with the result! He made the transition from our old website to the new one simple, smooth, and completely stress-free.

Most take four to eight weeks from the first chat to going live.
Can you help my business show up on Google in Forres?
Yes. I build pages for the areas you cover, check your Google Business Profile, and set up Google Search Console so we can see what people search for. I can’t promise a position, and anyone who does is guessing, but I can give you the best possible start.
Why choose a local web designer for a Forres business?
You can meet face to face when it helps, you deal with someone who knows the area and the people you’re selling to, and when something needs changing you ring me rather than raising a ticket. Your money stays in the local economy too.
What makes Colourjam different from other web designers?
Every website I build is custom-coded from scratch, with no WordPress templates or page builders. That makes it quicker to load, with fewer plugins to keep patched, and it looks like your business rather than thousands of others. You also deal with me, the person who built it, from the first chat to years after launch.
Do you look after hosting and updates?
Yes. I offer secure hosting and maintenance, so your site is backed up, kept up to date and running smoothly. Plenty of my clients have been with me for years.
