At The Wee Web Studio, I help small businesses and charities across Aberdeen and Scotland build, understand, and fully own their websites — without jargon, lock-ins, or pressure.
- Everything starts with a conversation.
- Sometimes that conversation ends with “you don’t need a website right now” — and that’s okay.
Web Design & Development
Websites built with you — not handed over and forgotten. I design websites for small businesses, charities, and non-technical people who want something solid, calm, and future-proof — not flashy or overcomplicated.
What I do (Features)
- Bespoke WordPress website design, so is easy to manage for you
- Mobile-friendly, responsive web design by default
- Built around your content, audience, and goals
- Domain and hosting set up in your name, with your credentials
- SEO foundations included as standard
- Built collaboratively, step by step
Why it’s better (Advantages)
- No templates forced on you
- No hidden systems or locked platforms
- No dependency on me to change a sentence or update a page
- Flexible timelines that respect real life and real budgets
How it helps you (Benefits)
- You understand what your website is and how it works
- You feel confident making updates yourself
- You stop paying monthly fees just to “keep the lights on”
- Your website becomes an asset, not a source of stress
Website Redesign & Migration
Many charities and long-standing organisations experience the same and very common situation: websites that have been left behind as technology changed.
For websites that exist… but no longer work for you
If your website:
- Isn’t mobile-friendly
- Looks outdated
- Was built on Wix or another locked platform
- Costs you money but gives little back
You’re not alone — and it’s not your fault.
What I do?
- Website redesign with clarity and purpose
- Website migration to WordPress (when appropriate)
- Content clean-up and structure improvements
- Clear explanation of what changes and why
Why it matters?
- You regain control of your site and costs
- Your website becomes easier to update and expand
- You stop rebuilding from scratch every few years
E-commerce / Online Shops
Simple, manageable online selling — without overwhelm
If you want to sell online, I help you do it carefully and realistically.
This is not about building massive shops or complex systems.
It’s about creating something you can understand and manage
What I offer
- Small to medium e-commerce website design
- Clear product structure
- Secure payment setup
- Guidance on legal and practical considerations
Why this works
- You don’t overbuild
- You don’t pay for features you won’t use
- You stay in control as your shop grows
Practical SEO for Local Businesses
Helping people in Aberdeen actually find you — without the guesswork. You don’t need to “beat the algorithm”. SEO is not a one-time fix. It’s more like keeping a shop visible on a busy street:
- Clear signage
- Clean windows
- Consistent presence
You won’t jump to the top overnight — and anyone who says you will is not trustworthy. But with the right structure and steady improvements, your visibility becomes stronger, more stable, and more predictable over time.
What I do (Features)
- Set up and optimise your website for local searches
- Structure your pages so search engines can understand them
- Help you show up for searches like “web design Aberdeen” or your equivalent
- Improve clarity in your content (what you do, where you do it, who it’s for)
- Guide you on simple, realistic next steps
Why it’s different (Advantages)
- No jargon, no dashboards you don’t understand
- No promises of “page 1 on Google”
- No tricks or shortcuts that break later
- Everything explained clearly
What it means for you (Benefits)
- Your business becomes easier to find locally
- You understand why your website appears (or doesn’t)
- You stop relying on guesswork
- You build visibility steadily, not artificially
Branding & Visual Foundations
Enough structure to feel confident — not boxed in
Branding doesn’t need to be dramatic or expensive to be effective.
I help you create or refine the visual foundations your website needs to feel consistent and credible.
This may include
- Logo refinement or simple logo design
- Colour and font guidance
- Basic brand guidelines you can actually use
Benefit
Your website feels intentional and professional, without losing warmth or personality.
Full Website Maintenance & Care
Your website doesn’t stop once it’s launched.
Things need updating.
Small issues appear.
And sometimes, you just want someone to handle it for you.
That’s where I come in — as part of your team, not in place of it.
Ongoing support when you need it — without losing control
- Ongoing website updates and improvements
- Fix issues when something isn’t working as expected
- Keep your website running smoothly and securely
- Support you with changes, additions, or questions
- Step in when you don’t have the time or confidence
How I work
- You remain the primary owner of everything
- I work as a secondary user, with your permission
- All access and credentials stay with you
- Help when something breaks or needs attention
- You stay independent. I stay available.
If you no longer need my support, you simply carry on — nothing is taken away from you.
Why it’s different
- No dependency on a developer
- No monthly fees you did not ask fot
- No hourly billing pressure
- Clear, outcome-based work — you pay for what’s actually done
- Less stress when something goes wrong
Some clients prefer:
- Ongoing monthly support Others:
- Occasional help when something comes up
Both are completely fine. I adapt to what you need — not the other way around.
Domains & Hosting
You own everything — always
Domains and hosting shouldn’t feel confusing or intimidating.
I help you set them up properly in your name, explain what they are in simple terms, and make sure you’re never locked in or dependent.
What this includes
- Helping to choose the right option for you and your business.
- Domain registration with you as the owner
- Hosting setup suited to your website (not upsold)
- Clear explanation of what you’re paying for and why
- Documented access and credentials
The benefit
- Full ownership and transparency
- No gatekeeping
- Easy to move on if you ever choose to
Ad-hoc support
Clear outcomes. No hourly anxiety.
Sometimes you just need help — not a package.
This is for you if:
- Something isn’t working
- You want advice before making a decision
- You need a specific outcome, not “hours”
How I work with you?
You’re not billed by the clock.
You’re billed for clear outcomes — what actually gets done.
No pressure to rush decisions.
No uncertainty about what you’re paying for.
Whether it’s a small fix, a question, or something that just doesn’t feel right, we will focus on solving it clearly and calmly.
Nothing more than you need. Nothing less.
What it means for you?
- You get exactly the help you need, when you need it
- You stay in control of your time and budget
- You can ask questions without feeling “on the clock”
- You solve problems without committing to ongoing services
Simplifying Your Day-to-Day (Digital Workflows)
Running a business or charity already takes enough of your time. Forms, spreadsheets, emails, documents… they slowly build up and start taking over your day.
I help you simplify that — gently and practically.
Less paperwork. Fewer manual tasks. More time for what actually matters.
What I do?
- Create simple online forms (contact forms, applications, registrations)
- Organise how information is collected and stored
- Set up basic document workflows
- Add secure logins for staff or users (when needed)
- Connect parts of your website so things flow more smoothly
Advantages
- No complex systems you don’t understand
- No unnecessary tools or subscriptions
- Built around how you already work
- Less time spent on repetitive admin
- Fewer emails going back and forward
- Information is easier to find and manage
- Your day-to-day work feels calmer and more organised
How I work with you
- We look at how things currently work
- Identify what’s causing friction or taking too much time
- Improve it step by step — at your pace
- You stay in control of the process at all times.
Data Analysis
Most small businesses and charities already have data. The problem is not access — it’s clarity. You log into something like Google Analytics… and it feels like numbers without meaning.
I help you turn that into something simple, useful, and actionable.
Turning your website data into something you can actually understand and use
In most cases, a few simple insights can answer important questions:
- Are people finding your website?
- Which pages do they actually read?
- Where do they leave?
- What should you improve first?
What I do (Features)
- Set up Google Analytics on your WordPress website
- Create simple, clear reports you can understand
- Walk you through what the numbers actually mean
- Help you connect data to real decisions
What it means for you
- You understand how people are using your website
- You see what’s working — and what’s being ignored
- You make decisions based on facts, not assumptions
- You feel more confident about where to focus your time and budget
