Software built to be owned, not rented.
CramondSoft designs and builds websites, applications and the infrastructure behind them for small businesses who want to actually own what they are paying for.
What we build
Websites
Fast, accessible sites that load quickly and are simple for your team to update — built with modern tools, not locked inside a page builder you cannot get out of.
- Static builds
- Content you can edit
- Structured data & SEO
- Real accessibility
Custom applications
Customer portals, loyalty and membership systems, internal tools — built around how your business actually operates, with room to grow as it does.
- Customer portals
- Loyalty & membership
- Staff dashboards
- Reporting
Infrastructure & ownership
Domains, hosting, email and DNS set up correctly from day one and registered in your name — so your business owns its own foundations, not an agency.
- Domains & DNS
- Hosting & edge
- Migrations off locked platforms
Ongoing support & reporting
Updates, monitoring and analytics once you are live, so you have a clear picture of what is working and a direct line to someone who understands the whole system.
- Monitoring
- Analytics you can read
- Iteration, not tickets
- Direct contact
Too many small businesses find out too late that their website, domain or email is registered to an agency, not to them — and lose it all the moment that agency goes quiet.
Every account we open for a client is opened in the client's own name, from the first line of code. The domain, the hosting, the database, the mailbox, the analytics.
It is a small discipline at the start of a project and it removes a very large problem later — including the problem of us. If we ever stop being the right studio for you, you keep everything.
What ends up in your name
- Registered to your business
- Domain & DNS
- Hosting
- Source code
- Data
Five things every project ends up owning. We open each of them on an account in your business's name, hand you the credentials, and write down where everything lives. If you later move to another studio, you take all of it with you and nothing needs recovering.
How a project runs
Discovery
Understanding how your business actually runs before any design or code starts.
Build
Working in short, visible stages, with something to look at early and often.
Launch
Deployed on infrastructure registered to you, documented, and handed over properly.
Support
Ongoing updates and a direct line to us, not a ticket queue.
A small studio, named after a small place.
CramondSoft is based in Edinburgh and named after Cramond, the tidal village at the mouth of the Almond, where the causeway to the island disappears twice a day and reappears when the water allows.
It is a fitting namesake for a studio that builds things meant to hold up over time — patient, well founded, and built to outlast any one tide.
We work directly with a small number of businesses at a time rather than spreading thin across many, which is why there is one case study on this page and not twenty.
