Modern websites / Edinburgh

Web development in Edinburgh for technically serious organisations

mccaigs builds modern websites and web applications that explain the business clearly, perform well, support technical SEO and AEO, and connect with operational workflows where useful. The work centres on maintainable Next.js architecture, accessibility, structured content, integrations, and measured modernisation rather than cheap template production.

A website should support discovery and operation

A strong website is fast, accessible, crawlable, understandable, and easy to maintain. Service pages, metadata, schema, internal links, and content models should support human decisions as well as search and AI-assisted discovery.

Forms can connect to structured enquiry handling, qualification, notifications, and operational systems. A deterministic assistant can answer within approved knowledge when that improves the customer journey.

Modernise without losing what already works

Existing websites may need a technical rebuild, a content and URL migration, or focused improvements rather than a full replacement. mccaigs preserves useful routes and establishes redirects only where necessary.

Next.js supports fast server-rendered pages and modern application features. Multilingual architecture, static or dynamic content, and integrations are chosen according to the organisation's publishing and operational needs.

A useful first conversation can start with a messy workflow, a website that is not pulling its weight, or an AI opportunity that needs a practical route forward.
