Isle Develop

Joining digital dots.

Websites, online shops and digital strategy that actually work.

We build, run and sell things online from Tiree. We help small businesses, communities and the agencies that fund them get digital right – including the bits where AI is useful, and the bits where it isn’t.

WHAT WE DO

Three things we do well, for three kinds of
people who need them.

Hands on digital help

Websites, online shops, hosting, social media and the day-to-day digital things that small businesses, charities and community groups need sorted.

For small businesses, makers, community groups and charities.

Strategy and reviews

Digital strategy, options appraisals, feasibility work and independent reviews for funded projects, third-sector organisations and the agencies that support rural and island communities.

For agencies, councils, community trusts and funded initiatives.

Using AI properly

Working out where AI saves you real time, where it doesn’t, and how to use it without losing control of your brand, your data or your sense of humour.

For anyone trying to make sense of the noise.

WHAT WE DO

We don’t talk about ecommerce in the
abstract. We do it every day.

Our team built and runs Scottish Island Gifts: 4,000 products from 200+ island makers.

Rhoda runs Tiree Tea. We’ve made every ecommerce mistake there is to make, and we’ve sorted most of them. So when we help you, you’re not getting theory from a textbook – you’re getting advice from someone who has been there at midnight trying to work out why the checkout has fallen over.

We also build digital tools because we keep spotting gaps in the islands. FarmPad for crofters. Facal an Latha for Gaelic learners. HappyHACCP for small food producers. We love a challenge.

RECENT WORK

Rhoda and her team did a quick ‘Spring clean’ of my site, making sure it now functions as an important marketing tool. They also designed an launched a shop page which immediately started bringing in revenue. The Isle Develop team provide my business with ongoing support to keep my website updated with all the little but important things that I was just not getting round to on my own.

Rhoda and team have been incredibly patient, responsive and efficient throughout our working relationship. Thank you for your excellent work!
