As a small business owner, I wanted a site that not only looked great but didn't cost a small fortune. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. My business now stands out, and I've seen a significant increase in orders. I highly recommend Braw to anyone.
Braw transformed our online presence with a website that's modern, user friendly and perfectly suited to our community focused approach. Great value, expert advice and personal support at every stage. I'd highly recommend them to any business or organisation.
Getting our website right without breaking the bank was important. Iain completely understood our needs and delivered an outstanding website at fantastic value. The whole process was easy, friendly and efficient, which was exactly what we needed.

Questions we get asked all the time
Ask us something else →How much does a small business website cost in Edinburgh?
It depends on what the site needs to do, so a new Braw website is quoted: tell us about the business and you get a fixed price and a go-live date. For a simple site of up to 5 pages, Braw Monthly is £79 a month with no build fee, on a 12 month minimum, and the site is yours after 24 months.
Braw Support looks after a website you already have, on any platform, for £49 a month with a 1 month minimum. Braw Growth, for ecommerce, custom apps and full IT support, is quoted too. Paying annually for Support or Braw Monthly gets you 2 months free, and there is no VAT to add.
How long does it take to build a small business website?
A Braw Monthly site goes live within 7 days of us receiving your copy and images. Day one is a twenty minute chat, days two and three are design reviewed in the browser, days four to six are the build tested on phones and checked against mobile PageSpeed, and on day seven we point the domain and publish. If we miss the 7 days, your first month is free.
A quoted build gets its go-live date in the quote, set by what the site needs.
What is included in the monthly fee?
On Braw Monthly: design and build of up to 5 pages, the domain, UK hosting, and backups and updates for as long as you subscribe. Content edits are included as often as you like, handled one at a time within 2 working days, and urgent problems are handled the next working day.
On Braw Support, for a site you already have: fixes when something breaks, updates, backups and security checks, small content edits and hosting if you want it. Both include 24/7 uptime monitoring, and nothing in either plan is billed by the hour.
Is Braw based in Edinburgh?
Yes. Braw is an independent web design and IT studio in Edinburgh, Scotland. Every site is designed, built and supported by Iain in Edinburgh.
We work with businesses and organisations throughout Edinburgh and across Scotland, as well as clients elsewhere in the UK and internationally.
Do you only build websites for businesses in Edinburgh?
No. We're based in Edinburgh, but we build websites for clients anywhere in the UK and internationally. Because everything can be handled by email and video call, where you're based makes no practical difference.
Who will I actually be dealing with?
Iain, who designs, builds and supports the site himself. There are no account managers, no offshore development team and no ticket numbers. Every plan has response times written into the terms, so you know when you'll hear back.
What happens to my website if I stop the subscription?
A Braw build is yours once it is paid for, whether or not you keep Braw Support. On Braw Monthly the site becomes yours after 24 months, or you can buy it outright for a fixed fee any time after 12. Your domain is always yours.
Whenever you leave, you get a free leaving pack: a full export of the site and a domain transfer within 5 working days.
Why does website speed matter for a small business?
Fast websites give visitors a better experience, and page experience is one of the things Google considers when ranking pages. Every Braw site launches scoring 90 or more on Google PageSpeed for mobile, measured as the median of 3 runs, and you get the report. If it falls short at launch, we fix it free.
Do you provide IT support as well as websites?
Yes. IT Care covers Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace administration, email security (SPF, DKIM and DMARC), backups, updates and security checks. IT Solo is £49 a month for 1 user, IT Team £129 for up to 5 users and IT Office £299 for up to 12.
Support is remote first, in office hours, with visits in Edinburgh at the hourly rate. Adding IT Care to a website plan saves about 20%, so your website and IT come from one person on one bill. Braw Growth includes Full IT Support.
