WEB / SEARCH / GROWTH
Sonar designs, builds and grows high-performance websites for businesses that want clearer visibility, stronger enquiries and dependable ongoing support.
Live websites for brands, communities and our own studio. Explore each project and visit it on its live domain.
Build the right website, strengthen its visibility and keep improving the route from attention to enquiry with one accountable partner.
Reasons you can check, not slogans — the same standards run through every page of this site and every project we deliver.
Design, engineering, hosting, photography, branding and automation are delivered by the same studio — so your website, content and business systems actually work together instead of being stitched between suppliers.
Every build is custom code held to performance budgets and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility — no page-builder themes, no recycled templates, no plugin sprawl to maintain.
Every project is quoted individually in writing before any commitment. You own your website, your content, your analytics and your accounts — there is no lock-in by design.
We are based in Inverness and work across the Highlands, with hosting, maintenance and local SEO plans that keep a website fast, secure and visible long after launch.

Straight answers to the questions Inverness and Highland businesses ask first.
We price every project individually, because scope genuinely varies — a focused small-business website is a different job from an ecommerce or booking platform. You receive a full written quotation before any commitment, with VAT and exclusions stated clearly. The packages page explains the starting configurations and what each includes.
Inverness is our base and where travel is included, but most of our work spans the wider Highlands, and digital services carry well across Scotland. For advanced technical projects — platforms, ecommerce, integrations — we work UK-wide, collaborating remotely.
It depends on scope and how ready your content is. A focused business website typically takes weeks rather than days; larger builds with ecommerce, bookings or integrations take longer. The written proposal for your project includes a timeline with the dependencies made explicit.
Yes — that's what Sonar / Search & Care is for: managed hosting, security updates, daily backups and monitoring, with optional active local SEO plans that work on your visibility month after month. You are never left holding a website nobody maintains.
Yes. Rebuilds are a core service: we audit what exists, keep what earns its place, migrate content carefully and protect your search visibility with proper redirects. If the foundations are sound, performance optimisation may be all it needs — we'll tell you honestly which it is.
