Developer-led, not an agency package
Crawford Software Works is a developer-led business based in Central Scotland. Andrew Crawford works directly on websites, WordPress builds, PHP/MySQL systems, admin panels, dashboards, databases and workflow tools.
The aim is to give small businesses a proper online presence from around £500 when the brief is compact, while still supporting larger custom builds when the project needs more technical depth.

What can be included
Each project is scoped around the business need. A compact small-business website can stay affordable, while more advanced tools can be added when there is a clear reason.

Pricing position
Small-business websites can start from around £500 when the scope is compact and clear. WordPress is often a sensible lower-cost option for service pages, blogs, galleries and simple editing.
Clean custom websites and PHP/MySQL systems usually start higher because they include more planning, coding, testing and future flexibility. Larger builds can be staged so the business is not forced into everything at once.
Not a generic agency package
Crawford Software Works is not trying to be a full-service marketing agency. The strength is practical web design, WordPress, PHP/MySQL development, databases, dashboards, admin panels, booking/enquiry flows and automation.
That makes it suitable for small business websites and for more technical custom jobs where the website needs to become a working business tool.
Questions
No. It is developer-led rather than a traditional agency. The work is positioned around direct technical delivery, small-business websites and practical PHP/MySQL systems.
Start with the portfolio, case studies, testimonials, Google reviews where available and direct contact. External profiles such as Google Business Profile, LinkedIn or business directories can also support verification when published.
Trust and verification
Crawford Software Works is a sole-trader business, not a large agency or limited company. The trust position is based on direct developer contact, practical portfolio examples, visible Google reviews where available, written scope, clear pricing guidance and honest explanations of what can and cannot be shown publicly.
Some projects involve private admin panels, databases, dashboards or internal tools, so client names, screenshots, figures or access details may be limited. Where that applies, case studies should explain the challenge, the type of work completed and the practical outcome without exposing private client information.
For pricing transparency, small websites can start from around £500 when the brief is compact and clear. WordPress websites commonly sit around £500–£2,000 depending on pages and features. Clean custom builds, PHP/MySQL systems and more advanced admin tools usually start from around £2,000 depending on scope.
