Website Creation for Local Businesses in Dumfries
Robert Burns spent the last eight years of his life in Dumfries after taking a steady job with the Excise Service in 1791, drinking and debating in the town's taverns while writing hundreds of songs. He died there on 26 July 1796, the same day his wife gave birth to their ninth child.
ONS recorded 6,400 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area. Dumfries & Galloway Chamber of Commerce, registered on Rae Street since 2003, provides legal, tax, health and safety and HR support to the region's businesses as part of the Scottish Chambers of Commerce network.
73.8% of new businesses in Dumfries and Galloway were still trading two years on, as of 2022 (ONS). Numbers like that make website creation worth having, not optional - a static approach loses ground fast in a market this active.
