It looks like a fantastic resource. I was set up and live within the hour - I've even added it to my contact form so I can track the leads that come through.
We claimed our spot on day one and within a few weeks we were getting enquiries from people we'd never have reached otherwise. Being the only web developer listed in Tranent means the right people find us - no competing with ten other agencies on the same page.
About Roughcasters
A roughcaster applies a textured external finish to buildings - the traditional Scottish harling that protects stone and blockwork walls from the weather while giving them a clean, uniform appearance.
Harling is one of Scotland's most common wall finishes and when it cracks, blows or starts to let in damp, getting it patched or replaced promptly prevents more expensive damage to the masonry underneath.
Ask whether they use traditional lime harling or modern cement render - on older stone buildings, lime-based finishes allow the walls to breathe and avoid the moisture problems that cement can cause.

About Whiteness
Whiteness is a scattered community on the peninsula between Whiteness Voe and Stromness Voe, in central Mainland Shetland between Lerwick and Scalloway.
The area has a primary school, a community hall and a marina at Symbister Ness and is well regarded as a quiet residential area within easy reach of both Lerwick and Scalloway.
The Whiteness and Weisdale kirk sits at the head of Whiteness Voe and the surrounding coastline offers good walks along the voe shores.
Whiteness benefits from its central location - it is close enough to Lerwick for daily commuting while retaining a distinctly rural, crofting character.
About Shetland
Shetland is an archipelago of around 100 islands - 16 of them inhabited - lying roughly 110 miles north of the Scottish mainland and 210 miles west of Norway, making it the most northerly part of the United Kingdom.
Lerwick is the capital and only town of any size, a compact and characterful harbour settlement that serves as the administrative, commercial and cultural centre of the islands. Around 7,000 of Shetlandโs 23,000 residents live in and around the town.
Shetlandโs economy has been shaped by the sea for centuries: fishing remains a major industry and the arrival of North Sea oil at the Sullom Voe terminal in the 1970s brought prosperity that was carefully managed through a charitable trust that continues to fund services and infrastructure across the islands.
The landscape is treeless, wind-scoured and dramatic - sea cliffs, voes (narrow inlets), tombolo beaches and open moorland define the character of the islands and nowhere in Shetland is more than three miles from the sea.
Shetland has a distinct cultural identity that draws on both Scottish and Norse heritage - the annual Up Helly Aa fire festival, the Shetland dialect and the fiddle music tradition are central to island life and the sense of community across the islands is strong and self-reliant.
