Borders questions

Clear from
the start.

Are the Borders too far from Dumfries for you to help?

No. Websites and most project planning are delivered remotely, wherever you are. The A7 through Langholm and the A708 from Moffat both lead into the Borders, and for projects and support agreements that need time on-site, the travel is scoped into the work and agreed up front.

Can you help a maker or heritage brand show its products online?

Yes. A focused website can tell the story behind your work, present your products clearly and link to the shop or marketplace you already sell through. More complex functionality is scoped before it’s added.

Can you get Wi-Fi working across a farm, estate or several buildings?

That can be scoped as a project: survey what you have, agree the coverage you need, then install and document it. Guest and business networks can be kept separate for security.
