ZW Studios
The studio
ZW Studios is the Glasgow studio of Zach Welch. We build the websites — and run the marketing — that make small businesses impossible to ignore. Five businesses launched in our first year, with one person on every single one, start to finish.
No account managers. No templates. No agency runaround. Just work done properly, by the person you actually talk to.
The person behind it
I've been obsessed with computers since I was a kid — well over ten years of it, and not just websites. Graphic design, software, cybersecurity, ethical hacking, the lot. I was building sites long before I ever sat in a college web-development class, and by the time I got there I was mostly teaching myself the things the course hadn't reached yet. ZW Studios is what happens when you take all of that and aim it at one thing: making small businesses look the part and win more work.
I'm from Lanark, and I'll be straight with you — I'm obsessive about detail, and I can't stand corporate, templated, copy-paste nonsense. The kind of site that looks like a hundred others and does nothing for the business paying for it. Everything I make is built from scratch, properly, because anything less would have my name on it — and my name matters to me.
That's honestly the reason I care this much. Every site I put out there is a reflection of me, so "good enough" doesn't cut it. I want your business to look brilliant, I want you actually getting customers from it, and I want a reputation that's spotless. The only way I get that is by making you look better than you thought you could — which works out pretty nicely for both of us.

What we stand for
The person you brief is the person who designs it, builds it and runs it. Nothing lost in translation, no one to chase.
Every site coded from scratch — lean, fast and built to rank, not dragged out of a page-builder and bloated with junk.
Site, domain, files, leads — all yours from day one. You're never locked in to us. People stay because it works.
We don't just build it and wave you off. We can run the ads and Google presence that keep it full of customers.
A real first year
Not mock-ups or demos — real businesses, live and working. Proof the model holds up across completely different trades.
How working together goes
Tell us what you're building — a few words is plenty. The first conversation's free, with no pitch and no pressure.
We design it before you commit a penny. You see the real thing, on your own branding, and decide from there.
Hand-built, launched fast, on your own domain — and the balance is only due once the finished site's in front of you.
Want the phone to keep ringing after launch? We can run the marketing that brings the customers to it.
Zero-risk, in writing
Don't love the design at the first review? Walk away owing nothing beyond the deposit. The balance is only ever due once the finished site's in front of you. And you own it all — even if you ever leave. It's word for word in the terms.
