Web design in Inverness and the Highlands
I’m based near Buckie, about an hour and a quarter along the A96, and I’ve been building websites for Highland businesses for years: Limelight Event Services in Inverness, Wyvis Tree Services across Inverness and Nairn, and my very first project, HUBL, the Highland Ultimate Bands List.
Inverness web design that brings in work
Inverness is the Highland capital and the busiest place for miles: visitors coming for Loch Ness, the Cairngorms and the start of the North Coast 500, and trades and services covering a huge rural patch from the Black Isle to Aviemore. Most of those customers are searching on a phone, often from the other end of the country.
So an Inverness website has two jobs: show up for the places you actually cover, and give people a reason to ring you rather than the next name on the list.
Web design across Inverness and the Highlands
I work with businesses in Inverness itself, Nairn, Culloden and the Black Isle, up to Dingwall, Alness and Invergordon, and south through Strathspey to Grantown-on-Spey and Aviemore. The Highlands are big, so if you cover several places I build a page for each of them, so you come up when people search from there.
- Inverness
- Nairn
- Culloden
- Black Isle
- Dingwall
- Alness
- Invergordon
- Grantown-on-Spey
- Aviemore

Questions from Inverness businesses
How much does a website cost in Inverness?
Starter websites are £300 to £600, or about £25 to £50 a month. Small business websites of five to ten pages are £800 to £3,000. Online shops are £1,500 to £20,000+, depending on how many products you have and what the checkout needs to do. You get the price in writing before anything starts. See prices.
Do you meet clients in person in Inverness?
Yes. Inverness is about an hour and a quarter from me along the A96, and I’m happy to come through for the first meeting or whenever it helps. In between, most of it happens by phone, email and video call, with your website on a private link as it takes shape.
How long does a new website take?
Most take four to eight weeks from the first chat to going live.
Can you help my business show up on Google in Inverness?
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 an Inverness 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.
