Local
What the work looks like in Livingston
Livingston is a new town and it shows in the work: more units on business parks than shops on a high street, more firms selling to other firms, more of the kind of business that already has a website and needs it to do something it currently does not. That usually means a booking system, a place where customers log in to see their bookings or orders, or an assistant that answers the same four questions so a person does not have to.

- AI for your business in LivingstonReminders that send themselves, customers answered out of hours, and a website you change by typing a sentence.

Questions
Questions people ask
Who builds websites in Livingston?
WebLothian does, from Portobello, seventeen miles away. Sites are affordable on purpose, with your web address and hosting (where your site lives) included for the first year and one modest monthly fee for the running costs after that. The consultation is free, by call or in person.
Can you build the software, not just the site?
Yes, and for a West Lothian business that is often the actual job. Booking and appointment systems, MOT and service reminders over WhatsApp and text, and simple tools for your staff that replace the spreadsheet somebody keeps up by hand are all built the same way the sites are.
Is it worth meeting in person from that far away?
For the first conversation about anything complicated, usually yes, and the travel is not charged. For a change to a page that already exists, a call is faster for both of us.
The honest answer
When not to bother
If you need someone on site the same day when something breaks, a one man business seventeen miles away is the wrong shape for you, and an agency with a support rota is worth the extra money.
Free consultation
Talk to somebody in Livingston about it
The consultation is free and there is no pitch at the end of it, because how the cost works is already explained on this site and every job is quoted in writing.
Livingston is in the Lothians, so Livingston businesses get the heavily discounted local rate, with the meetings in person rather than on a screen.
