Web Design for the Highlands, Moray and North of Scotland
Based in Grantown-on-Spey in the Scottish Highlands, we have been designing websites and providing WordPress development, SEO and online consultancy for businesses and the tourism sector for over 20 years.
During that time, we have built a reputation for creativity, clarity, attention to detail and value for money. We are always happy to answer questions and provide clear, friendly advice. As a result, we have established long-standing relationships with many of our clients, some stretching back many years.

The People Behind Project 404
We’re a small, experienced team combining web design, development and copywriting. We work closely with our clients, keeping things straightforward, personal and easy to understand.
TIM ROGERS | DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND PROJECT PLANNING
Tim has been designing, building and advising on websites since the early days of the internet. After graduating from Durham University, he worked with some of the UK’s leading design agencies on projects for organisations including M&S, Barclays, the Post Office, BP, the V&A Museum, the Department for Education, the Department of Trade and Industry, the Electoral Commission and Macmillan Cancer Support.
He continues to work with a wide range of award-winning businesses across the north of Scotland. He has contributed plugins to the official WordPress Plugin Directory, worked on projects for VisitScotland, and has experience supporting funding applications for new digital and online initiatives in the Highland region.
SHARRON FORTNAM | COPYWRITING
Sharron is a working mum who graduated from Birkbeck College, University of London, in 2005 with a BA (Hons) in Humanities. Her favourite subjects included Literature, Journalism and History of Art.
As a copywriter with Project 404, she has extensive experience writing website copy for tourism and hospitality businesses across Scotland and beyond, helping clients communicate clearly, confidently and in a way that feels natural to their audience.
Before joining Project 404, she ran an orchestra and worked as an English teacher, a job she adored. She also creates press releases and other marketing materials for artists and creative organisations.
Aside from writing copy, she is a composer, singer and bass player.
Why Project 404?
No two businesses are the same, so we don’t believe their websites should be either. We design and build flexible WordPress websites around your content, customers and ambitions, with clear advice and ongoing support when you need it.
Privacy, security and data protection are built into the way we work. Project 404 is registered with the ICO as a data controller, and we’re experienced in handling sensitive commercial information and business-critical data.
Bespoke Website Design
Every website is planned and designed around your business, rather than forcing your content into a one-size-fits-all solution.
Direct & Personal Service
You work directly with the people designing, developing and supporting your website, without layers of account management.
Long-Term Support
From hosting and maintenance to SEO, updates and new development, we can continue supporting your website long after launch.
Our Work.
A selection of bespoke WordPress websites we’ve designed and developed for businesses, estates, hotels, tourism organisations and visitor attractions across Scotland and beyond.
