Ullapool Shops
Steve Douglas initially began designing and facilitating new websites for The Captain's Cabin, Ullapool Bookshop and Lochbroom Hardware back in 2013. Since then the Ullapool shops websites (using WordPress) have been redesigned, updated and re-developed to include social media links (through Instagram and Facebook) as well as maintaining a sleek and modern design. These were produced on time and in a very quick and efficient manner. In 2018 Steve was asked to look at the prospect of an e-commerce site for gifts, maps and local niche books. Since then, Ullapool Trading.com has been launched and Steve was able to provide excellent website design, on site training, product photography and also built an easy to use shopping site, thereby allowing the Ullapool Bookshop to sell their items online in a competitive market throughout Europe and the UK.
