Web design in Edinburgh
Edinburgh's financial services, asset managers and fintechs need websites that perform in regulated environments. We build sites that load fast, convert visitors, meet accessibility standards and pass compliance review.
Web design for Edinburgh businesses
Hubb Group is a digital agency and software company. Our studio is in Dubai and we work with UK clients remotely, on UK hours, with a named lead on every project. Contracts and invoices are issued by our UAE company, in pounds.
We measure Core Web Vitals across all pages — load time, responsiveness, visual stability. Mobile performance is logged separately. Form completion rates and visitor behaviour on key pages are tracked. Accessibility is tested against WCAG 2.2 AA and documented. We don't guarantee rankings or traffic; those depend on factors beyond design.
Every project is a fixed quote with a clear timeline and clear milestones. You own the work and the accounts outright when we're done — no lock-in, and nothing you can't take with you.

Why speed and compliance matter here
Edinburgh's financial sector operates under strict rules. Your website needs to load quickly, rank well and hold up to regulatory scrutiny before it goes live. A slow site damages credibility. A site built without compliance in mind wastes weeks in legal review. We design for both speed and sign-off — Core Web Vitals optimised from day one, with accessibility built to WCAG 2.2 AA standard.
Your buyers are comparing three or four agencies. They read case studies properly and check that the work stands up to real-world use. They want evidence of fast load times, mobile performance and conversion paths that actually work. They also need to know a design agency understands Scottish legal obligations, not just generic UK frameworks.
Built for buyers who take their time to choose
Your site is a sales tool, not a piece of art. We focus on conversion paths that work: clear navigation, visible trust signals, forms that don't create friction, and copy that speaks to regulated buyers. Every page is tested for usability and speed. Mobile-first design is not optional — your audience browses on phones during lunch and morning commutes.
Accessibility isn't a tick box. It's built into the design from the start. Better structure, clearer hierarchy and semantic HTML make your site faster and easier to navigate for everyone. It also means fewer compliance objections from your legal team when the site reaches review.
Passing the compliance gate
Financial services, asset management and fintech sites face scrutiny before launch. Claims get tested. Terms need alignment with Scots law. Privacy notices must be specific and clear. We build sites designed to survive that review stage — no overclaiming, proper evidence trails for any statements about performance, and a structure that makes it easy for your compliance team to sign off.
Timeline matters. If a design agency doesn't budget for a compliance review step, the project stalls at the end. We do. We also work with teams that need to document changes and maintain audit trails, because regulated sectors operate that way.
Measuring what counts
You measure success in visitor behaviour, not just aesthetics. We track load times, page responsiveness, form completion rates and how long visitors spend on key pages. Core Web Vitals stay in the green. Mobile performance is logged. Accessibility compliance is documented and tested against WCAG standards.
We don't promise search rankings or traffic volume — those depend on factors beyond design. What we measure is whether the site performs, whether it converts, and whether it holds up to the scrutiny your sector demands. That's what matters in Edinburgh's financial and fintech world.

Web design in Edinburgh — common questions
How do you handle compliance review for regulated sectors?
We build compliance checkpoints into the timeline. Accessibility is documented to WCAG 2.2 AA. Copy is structured so claims are easy to verify. We work with your legal team on Scots law requirements — privacy, terms and consumer rights differ from England and Wales.
Does the site need to work on mobile?
Yes. We design mobile-first. Performance, usability and conversion paths are tested on phones and tablets from the start. Most of your Edinburgh audience will browse on mobile.
What if my business operates under FCA or Scottish regulatory rules?
We understand how regulated sectors work. Sites need clear sign-off stages, documented accessibility, auditable claims and proper legal review. We build those steps into the project from the start.
How long does the design and build process take?
It depends on scope and complexity. We'll outline the timeline at the start, including space for your compliance and legal teams to review. Regulated sectors typically need more review time — we factor that in.
Can you transfer my existing site to a new design?
Yes. We migrate content, preserve important URLs and test everything for speed and accessibility. Old sites often carry performance debt — we rebuild the underlying structure so it loads fast and works well.
What metrics matter most for a financial services site?
Page load speed, mobile responsiveness, form completion rates and visitor time-on-page. We track Core Web Vitals and accessibility compliance. We don't promise rankings or traffic — that depends on strategy beyond design alone.
