Hello. Hello. We are Project 404 , web designers who have been designing and building secure, mobile-ready websites for award-winning businesses in Moray, Aberdeenshire, the Highlands, and across the north of Scotland since 2003. scroll

Project 404 have been designing and building secure, mobile-ready websites for all types of business across Moray, Aberdeenshire and the Highlands for almost 20 years.

Our clients include award winning hotels and 5-Star accommodation providers, gin and whisky distilleries, working estates and historic houses and businesses of all descriptions.

We also work closely with organisations like Visit Scotland to promote tourism in the Highlands and the northeast of Scotland with projects like the North East 250 tourist route, where we manage the listings of hundreds of tourist sites and hospitality businesses.

Because we manage our own cloud-based web servers and domain registration service exclusively for our clients, we are able to ensure your website runs smoothly. Your website will be fast and secure and display a grey padlock. This means the connection between your visitors' device and your website is encrypted, an important marker of trust. We also provide ongoing maintenance to make sure your website is up to date and running smoothly.

We also offer an SEO-focused copywriting service and can help with photography and videography.
What we do

Based in Grantown-on-Spey in the Scottish Highlands, we have been designing websites and building and consulting on all things internet for many years.

During this time, we have built a reputation for creativity, clarity, attention to detail and value for money. We are always available to answer your questions and provide clear and friendly advice.
Meet the team Because of this, we have established longstanding relationships with many of our clients. Some of which stretch back over many years. A little about us
