Discover Our Story and Vision

Hello! I'm Isla McGill, the founder of Digital Riser. Digital Riser was born out of my passion for helping small businesses in Scotland navigate the digital landscape. As a small business owner myself, I understand the unique challenges that come with building an online presence. My journey began when I noticed a gap in the market for affordable, high-quality digital services tailored specifically for small businesses.

With a background in marketing and digital media from Edinburgh Napier University, I have spent years honing my skills in web development, SEO, and digital marketing. I worked with few local businesses, witnessing firsthand the transformative power of a strong digital presence. This experience fuelled my desire to create a company that could offer these essential services to small businesses at a price they could afford.

In 2024, I founded Digital Riser with a clear mission. Our approach is simple yet effective. We start by understanding the unique needs of each business, then tailor our services to meet those needs. Whether it's designing a user-friendly website, optimising for search engines, or creating a comprehensive digital marketing strategy, we are dedicated to delivering results that make a real difference.
