Media Surgery

Based in Aberdeen City Centre, Media Surgery has operated since 2004, building websites for small businesses, freelancers and organisations both locally and abroad. Although rooted in Aberdeen, most of its work is carried out remotely, with clients including freelancers in Australia and agencies in the United States; communication in English is the only requirement for working together. Past projects span branding and web design for a country venue (House of Mulben), a coffee business (Arabica Coffee), a counselling service (Third Level Foundation) and an analytics company (Checked Analytics), covering a mix of small passion projects and larger, more complex platforms. The agency's declared services include SEO, web design, web development, branding and logo design, and custom software development. Its stated technical focus is Craft CMS, drawing on more than two decades of experience across platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, ExpressionEngine, Zen Cart and Squarespace, and covering both standard sites and e-commerce builds. Website work is described as prioritising usability, load speed and accessibility for users with disabilities, aiming for designs that remain functional over time rather than following short-lived trends. Beyond web builds, the site references branding and logo design, custom Squarespace templates, print and copywriting work, and publishes insight articles on topics such as Craft CMS developer costs and customer lifetime value. Contact is handled through the Aberdeen office by phone or email, with project scope and timelines discussed on a case-by-case basis.
