The person delivering your project
A steady hand.
A fresh perspective.
I’m James Carnochan, owner and director of Alteracore. I bring over 20 years of varied experience across business IT and retail computer repairs.
My Royal Signals background shaped how I work: clear communication, a practical mindset, and care in getting the fundamentals right. That experience informs how I plan projects, solve problems and explain the next step.
Today I work with small and medium-sized businesses and organisations from Dumfries across South West and Central Scotland, the Scottish Borders and Cumbria, on planned projects and ongoing support rather than one-off fixes. You deal directly with me — from understanding the problem to delivering the solution.

Before we get started
Clear from
the start.
How quickly can you build a website?
A focused brief and ready-to-use content help keep delivery moving. After our first conversation, I’ll agree the scope, a realistic schedule and what I need from you. Larger sites and extra functionality need more planning.
Can you take a project from idea to handover?
Yes. We’ll define the outcome, agree the work, review progress and check the result before handover. That can be a new website, a business IT setup or a planned change to your existing systems.
Do you offer IT support on its own?
Yes, through an ongoing managed support agreement scoped to your business. Alteracore doesn’t take one-off repairs or ad-hoc callouts; the focus is planned, proactive work.
Where do you work?
Alteracore is based in Dumfries and works with businesses and organisations across Dumfries and Galloway, Ayrshire, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Edinburgh, the Scottish Borders and Cumbria. Websites are delivered remotely. On-site work is part of a scoped project or support agreement, and I’ll travel wherever the work justifies it. See the areas I cover.
What will it cost?
The scope determines the cost. I’ll discuss the work, deliverables and costs with you before you decide, including any ongoing hosting, software or support costs that apply.
