Website Creation for Local Businesses in Shetland Islands
Out Stack, off Muckle Flugga, is the northernmost point of the British Isles, and St Ninian's Isle features the largest active tombolo in the United Kingdom.
Living Lerwick, the town centre's Business Improvement District since 2012, was renewed for a fourth term in August 2026, running through to 2031, working on footfall, marketing, parking and business advocacy for Lerwick's traders. ONS recorded 1,600 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
80% of new businesses in Shetland Islands were still trading two years on, as of 2022 (ONS). That kind of churn is precisely why website creation matters - standing still isn't an option when the market around you isn't.
