Websites built properly for Edinburgh businesses.
And everything joined up behind them.
Hi, I'm Sándor. I build fast, reliable websites for local shops, cafes, and sole traders across Edinburgh. You deal directly with me from start to finish.
Wix or WebJoiner?
What each one gives you, and what it really costs. Both are fair choices, for different people.

Enjoy building things yourself and have the time? A DIY builder is a solid choice. Want it done, written and joined up so you can get on with your work? That is what I do. Wix prices vary by plan and change over time, so check wix.com for the current figures. WebJoiner prices are starting points, see Pricing.
What's joined up behind your site
A website on its own is just a digital brochure. Here is how I connect the pieces so it actually earns its keep.
Google Business Profile
Configured correctly so local Edinburgh customers searching on their phones can find your shop, clinic, or service immediately in the map pack.
Enquiry Alerts to Phone
No missed contact forms sitting in an invisible spam folder. Enquiries route instantly to the device you check all day.
Simple Blog & Updates
Optional lightweight publishing tools without WordPress bloat, so you can share updates safely with zero plugins to patch.
