What We Do

Based in the scenic Howe of Fife, just north of Edinburgh, Scotland we provide web design services, domain registration and web site hosting for companies and businesses both locally and internationally.

Some of our clients are one-man businesses, some are multinationals.

Some of our clients are local in Auchtermuchty, Strathmiglo, Cupar, Springfield, Leslie, Glenrothes or other parts of Fife or Perth while some of our clients are in Africa, the USA or the Middle East.

They use Forth Business Systems because they know that we produce a workmanlike product at a workmanlike price. We produce web sites that work at prices that don't cost an arm and a leg.

And what our clients really like is that we listen to them and we're here when they need us.

Content Management System (CMS)

We set up your web site using a Content Management System (CMS).

What's a Content Management System?

It means that you can change the content of your web site at any time without having to ask us to do it. A few years ago your web site designer designed your site and for any changes, big or small, you had to go back to him (or her).

Using a CMS means that you can update your site yourself.

New product? No problem! You can splash details and pictures of it all over your site.

Events? Want to publicise events that you're running? No problem!

Bookings? Hotel or holiday accommodation - want to show availability? No problem!

News? Want to tell people about your latest successes? No problem!

Social media - Facebook, Twitter etc? Incorporate your Facebook freinds or publish your tweets on your site. No problem!

What You Need

Every business, no matter how big or small, whether long-established or just starting up, needs a web site.

It can find you new customers, it can help you communicate with established customers and it can help to confirm your sales.

So what do you need to have a web site?

1. You need a domain name - ours is forthbusiness.co.uk
   Our web site can be found at www.forthbusiness.co.uk and you can email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it - that's what your domain name is for.
2. Your need web hosting - this is somewhere to store your web site so that it can be seen by people all over the world.
3. You need a design - something to make your site stand out from the rest and to communicate effectively to the public what it is that you do or make.

We can provide all of the above.
