Making Your Life
Easier, Digitally
I build websites and digital tools for Shetland businesses and community groups who need things to actually work — not just look pretty.
Based in Lerwick. Responsive. Straightforward. No jargon.
Get in touch
Tell me what you need
No jargon. No pressure. Just a conversation.
Does Any of This Sound Familiar?
If you're nodding at any of these, that's exactly where I come in.
You're managing everything in spreadsheets and it's getting messy
You're using software that does way more than you need (and costs a fortune)
You've got a system that nearly works, but not quite
You're doing the same admin tasks over and over
You built a website years ago and now you can't update it yourself
You need tech support but don't know who to call locally
Here's what I do: I build websites and digital tools that solve your specific problems. Not generic solutions. Not overcomplicated systems. Just what you actually need.
Plain English
What's a Digital Tool?
You know that thing you're doing manually that takes forever? That's probably something I can build a digital tool for.
A digital tool is just a custom-built solution for a specific problem your business has. Not off-the-shelf software that does 100 things you don't need. Just the thing you actually need.
Real examples
Taxi drivers spending ages logging routes?
Built an app that makes it quick and simple.
Community group selling tickets via Facebook messages?
Built a proper ticketing system so they don't lose track.
Business managing bookings in a spreadsheet?
Can build something that handles it automatically.
If you're spending time on repetitive tasks, using clunky workarounds, or thinking "there must be an easier way to do this" — that's where I come in.

Sarah M.

James O.
"I can't recommend Nicola highly enough. Before we first met, Nicola had already drafted a mock up of what I was looking for. This is now in operation and has transformed our operations into a much more efficient and user-friendly interface. Proactive, responsive, no jargon, open to ideas and great fun to be around! And above all, great value for money!!"
