Derry web design for a city that serves a wide north west
Derry, also called Londonderry, is the main centre for a large and mostly rural north west. Businesses here draw trade from across the city, out along the Foyle, into the Sperrins and across the border into Donegal, which is a far wider reach than the population inside the walls would suggest.
There is also a steady visitor trade, with the walls, the Guildhall and the Peace Bridge pulling people in year round, and a growing cluster of small creative and digital firms. Both of those groups make a decent website matter more, because a lot of first contact happens online before anyone sets foot in the place.
We are based in Cardiff and work with north west clients by phone, email and video call, which suits businesses already used to dealing across a wide area.
There is a full breakdown on our web design prices page, or see websites we have built for other small businesses. New to paying monthly? Here is what it actually means.
North west businesses we build websites for
Trades across the city and beyond
Joiners, electricians, plumbers and builders covering Derry, Strabane, Limavady and the surrounding countryside.
Visitor and hospitality businesses
Guest houses, cafes, bars and tour operators that need prices, hours and bookings obvious on a phone.
Shops and city centre independents
Retailers and salons competing for a trade that now checks online first.
Creative and professional services
Studios, consultancies and advisers serving clients well beyond the north west.
What we set out to fix
We built the plans around the four things small businesses told us went wrong last time.
A bill before any return
One fixed monthly amount covering the build and the upkeep, instead of a large payment on day one.
No way to reach a person
Ring 029 2167 1825 or send the form. A person replies, within one working day, every time.
Launches that slip and slip
A clear process and a realistic date, with most sites live inside a fortnight of us having your words and photos.
A contract you cannot leave
Month to month, no fixed term, no exit fee. We would rather keep you by being useful.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about web design in Derry.
How much does web design in Derry cost?+
From £74 a month, covering the design, hosting, security and ongoing changes, so there is nothing large to find at the start and no separate maintenance bill later.
Should my site say Derry or Londonderry?+
Both get searched for in similar numbers, so there is a practical case for using the name your customers use and mentioning the other once so you still turn up either way. We will follow your lead on it rather than make that choice for you.
When would my site go live?+
Normally 7 to 14 days after your words, photos and logo reach us. The content is almost always what sets the pace.
What if it does not work out?+
Then you stop. Every plan is month to month, so there is no penalty and no awkward conversation about a contract.
Do you cover Strabane, Limavady and the wider north west?+
Yes. We work with businesses in Derry, Strabane, Limavady, Coleraine and across the north west.
Is my website mine if I stop the plan?+
You get the files and the domain. What ends is the service wrapped around them: the hosting, the patching, the backups and the support.
Does it matter that you are in Cardiff?+
Not in practice. We work with clients across Northern Ireland by phone, email and video call, and you get an answer within one working day.
