For local businesses
Website care and local visibility without another job on your list.
Town Crier Website Care is a lightweight monthly service for Midlothian businesses that want their website, listing and key customer routes checked without having to log into WordPress, hosting panels or analytics every week.
The idea
A practical monthly watchlist, not a complicated agency package
We check the basics that stop customers finding or contacting you: whether the site is online, whether secure pages still work, whether key details look current, and whether your Town Crier listing has enough information to be useful.
If something needs a human decision, we send a short action note. If a small pre-approved update is safe, it can be handled as part of the care plan. Larger changes are quoted before any work starts.
Plans to start with
from £29/moStarter watch
For small businesses that want basic peace of mind and a useful Town Crier presence.
- Website online and SSL checks

For businesses that need regular updates, better local visibility and a clearer action list.

from £99/moHosted care

- Everything in Local care
- Hosting, disk and email/DNS hygiene checks where access is available
- WordPress/plugin risk notes or static-site deploy checks
- Priority alerts for urgent issues before the monthly report
Prices are introductory guide prices for simple local sites. Anything involving major rebuilds, paid advertising, custom integrations or urgent recovery work is scoped separately before changes are made.
What the automated checks can cover
- Website up/down and obvious error pages
- HTTPS/SSL status and renewal risk
- Domain, DNS and email basics where available
- Contact links, forms or booking routes
- Out-of-date opening hours, menus, offers or notices
- Town Crier listing completeness and local search/share opportunities
The aim is to catch boring problems early and turn them into short, readable recommendations: green when all is well, amber when something should be watched, and red when something needs attention.
Good fit
- Pubs, cafés, restaurants and takeaways
- Trades and local service businesses
- Venues, clubs, classes and community organisations
- Small businesses that need updates but not a full-time web person
How it stays low-input
- Routine checks run automatically
- Reports are short and action-focused
- Only safe, pre-approved small edits are handled automatically
- Anything risky or billable is sent for approval first
