Run a restaurant or takeaway? · 0% commission
Take orders on your own website — and keep 100% of every order
A full ordering system built into your own site instead of rented from a marketplace: collection & delivery, preorders, kitchen printing and an admin panel. At 300 orders a month, Just Eat commission alone runs to roughly £1,260 — your own app charges none of it.
Your customers save too — no service fees, no app markups. The same meal costs less ordered direct, so regulars switch and keep ordering.
From £1,045 one-off · built for and running daily at Adam's Kitchen in Hawick.

Restaurant & takeaway · Hawick
Adam's Kitchen
The problem: commission to Just Eat and Uber Eats on every single order. The build: a full website plus a commission-free ordering app — collection & delivery, preorders, kitchen order printing and an admin panel. The result: every order goes straight to Adam's Kitchen, commission-free.

Tattoo studio · Edinburgh
Tomek Turlej Tattoo
The problem: all bookings lived in Instagram DMs. The build: a portfolio of 240+ pieces, online booking requests and a private admin dashboard. The result: customers browse the full portfolio and send a structured booking request — no more back-and-forth DMs to book a slot.

Children's party venue · Riga, Latvia
Luuni
The brief: a new name, a fresh look and a website that takes bookings by itself. The build: the move from Party Panda Riga to Luuni, and a new Latvian-language site at luuni.lv with live availability and online booking, a party-decorations catalogue and a private panel for the owners. The result: parents see which party slots are free and book one in a few clicks.

Property maintenance · Coldstream
M&J Property Maintenance
The brief: show the quality of the work, inside and out, to homeowners across the Borders and north Northumberland. The build: a new site at mjpropertyworks.co.uk built around their own photos, with albums of real interior and exterior jobs and a free-estimate form that goes straight to WhatsApp, plus a refreshed Google Business Profile. The result: customers see finished jobs before they ask for a quote.

Meet your web designer
Hi, I’m Lukasz.
Lukasz Wojcik
Founder, Cheviot Web Studio · Kelso
I’m an engineer by training — BEng (Hons) — and I’ve spent twenty years delivering engineering projects here in the Borders. I build websites the same way: fixed scope, honest advice, finished when promised.
When you work with Cheviot, there’s no account manager and no call centre. You talk directly to the person designing and building your site, from the first chat to launch and beyond.
✦ Built in the Borders
Where I work
Web design across the Scottish Borders
The studio is in Kelso, so you can meet your web developer in Kelso in person. Most websites are built for businesses in the towns around it, and each has its own page on what local customers there search for: web design in Galashiels, web design in Hawick, web design in Melrose, web design in Jedburgh, web design in Peebles, web design in Selkirk, web design in Duns, web design in Coldstream, web design in Eyemouth and web design in Berwick-upon-Tweed.
Keeping the site you have? Read about local SEO for Scottish Borders businesses, or see how a website redesign improves a dated site without losing its Google rankings. Thinking of building it yourself? Here is an honest comparison of a website builder and a web designer. And there is more about the studio and who runs it.
Questions
The things people usually ask
How much does a website cost?
Most local business websites fall between £399 and £1,345 (Founding Client Rates) depending on pages and features; a limited One-Page Local Launch is £249, a commission-free restaurant ordering app starts at £1,045, and online shops run £645–£1,535. You’ll always get a fixed quote before any work starts. Every price is published — see what a website really costs or the full pricing page.
How long does it take?
The Borders Website Sprint takes 10 working days from kick-off to launch, with the first design concept inside 48 hours. A One-Page Local Launch can be live in under a week. The main variable is how quickly we get your content and photos together.
Do I need to write all the words myself?
No. I’ll help write clear, persuasive copy for your site and guide you on photos. It’s all part of designing something individually for your business.
Will it show up on Google?
Yes — every site is built with proper structure, local keywords and Google-ready markup, and I’ll help set up your Google Business Profile. Ranking also depends on reviews and time, and I’ll be honest with you about what’s realistic for your area.
What happens after launch?
You own everything and can leave it as-is, or take an optional care plan from £25/month for hosting, security, backups and content changes handled for you.
Do you only work with Borders businesses?
The Scottish Borders is home and my focus — Kelso, Galashiels, Hawick, Melrose, Jedburgh and around. But I’m happy to work with businesses further afield too; most of it happens by phone, WhatsApp and email.
Who owns the website when it’s finished?
You do — the site, your domain and your content are yours outright, and you get the full source files under a perpetual licence. There’s no lock-in: you can take everything to another developer whenever you like. And if you don’t love the first design concept, you get your deposit back.
Is there a monthly fee or a contract?
No mandatory monthly fee and no tie-in. Website packages are a one-off price. Care and hosting plans start at £25/month if you’d rather I handled hosting, backups and changes for you — but they’re completely optional and you can cancel any time.
Let’s build it
Ready for a website that works as hard as you do?
Tell me about your business and within one working day I’ll send you a free homepage plan — what your site should say, how it should work, and a fixed price. No obligation.
