Local support
Falkirk, Central Scotland and UK remote support
Crawford Software Works is run by Andrew Crawford, a Falkirk-based sole trader, so clients deal directly with the person planning and building the work.
Local support covers Falkirk, Grangemouth, Larbert, Stenhousemuir, Denny, Bonnybridge, Linlithgow, Cumbernauld, Stirling and suitable Central Scotland projects, with remote support available across the wider UK where that is practical.
The focus is straightforward advice, clean delivery and sensible next steps. For small-business websites, clean custom websites and WordPress websites can usually sit in a similar price range when the scope is comparable; the right option depends on editing needs, performance, plugins, future support and what the business needs the site to do.
