Back in the 80’s it was frowned upon if you made you company name have some Scottish connection – like Alba or Caledonia. Honest – it was! It was deemed as signalling that you were looking inward, not international and all that sort of thing. You couldn’t build a brand on having Scotland in the title…… so that’ll be the Royal Bank of Scotland diving for the rebranders then.

We took the view a wee (Scottish for small/short) while back that we’d feature in our websites to promote ourselves the fact that we are Scottish – that way they signal a certain confidence about who, where and what we are. It’s not a nationalistic thing or anything thats patriotic – its just a statement of fact – we develop websites from Scotland, we do our online marketing from Scotland, and we carry out Search Engine Optimisation from Scotland. We’ll happily work outside that area – but if you must have a partner in Canada, Corfu or China – then it’s not us.

One day we’d like to do it from a (not to hot) beach in the South of France or from the stunning Lago Maggiore – but until then we’ll do our website company stuff from Scotland.
