About us
Web design made easier for your business
With our help you can easily get your business online and start reaching new customers.
I have been designing websites since 2011, and mainly through word of mouth, I have completed a number of projects for Larne based clients.
As Larne is my hometown I wanted to directly provide businesses in Larne with professional web design services at competitive prices. Additionally, our local web design services are available to the whole of Northern Ireland.
Getting your business online can be a daunting prospect, but we ensure this a smooth and straightforward process and are here to implement that for you.

Graphic design
Full Page Websites have different pages to highlight your business, it's services & how to get in contact with you. This is the standard in web design and each page is optimised for Search Engines. You can expand your website as your business grows with additional pages, online bookings, eCommerce & more.
Over 95% of households in the UK own a smartphone and mobile use continues to increase. All our website builds are mobile-ready with responsive design for iOS and Android phones, tablets and other devices. This helps to open up your online world to as many new customers as possible.
eCommerce lets you sell your products online locally, nationally & internationally taking online payments by Debit/Credit Card and/or Paypal.
We can set up an eCommerce site for you with the latest technologies to ensure an effective user experience & straightforward shop management - as well as security and SEO.
We also provide additional web development services to help you expand your business, and provide services to your client base.
Additional development services include appointment booking systems, membership sites, events management & blog set up
We use our own Virtual Private Server (VPS) to host your website online. This ensures optimal speed & security for your website as our websites don't share resources with other providers - which is the case with standard shared hosting solutions. Not only is website speed essential for user experience, it's now a ranking factor for Google.
We take website security seriously and we have had experience in cleaning & restoring successful hacks to websites in the past. You may think a small business website need not worry but this isn't the case. On average a standard small business website will get on average over 30 hack attempts daily.
These are automatic attempts through Bots that can attempt to inject ads, redirections, bitcoin mining malware & more to your website. If an actual person wants to hack a site - they will do so easily enough but thankfully there usually isn't reason for this with smaller business sites. We protect your site and if a hack occurs we remove the malware free of charge. Other agencies will help protect your website but few offer free malware removal and may require that an external provider is used- with malware removal costs starting around £149 per cleanup.
We also take a daily backup of your website kept for 3 weeks and an additional monthly backup kept for 3 months.
GRAPHIC DESIGN
Logo and branding design
We can design a standard web logo for your website free of charge, or go with a bespoke branding solution for both web and print, including business cards & stationary.
Blog feature
Keep your website dynamic with a blog feature. Blogging isn't just beneficial to your users; Google also loves updated dynamic content.
Online bookings
Take online bookings directly on your website with our Appointments solutions. We may also be able to help with integration of your current bookings system.
Other services
We can develop additional solutions you may require for your website depending on your business needs. Get in touch for more information.

Our process
FROM CONTACT TO WEBSITE BUILD
How it works
01 Contact
You make the initial contact with us and we discuss your requirements, along with what package and services with be best for your business and budget.
If you contact us through email or Facebook, we'll give you a call to discuss further with no obligation.
02 Concept
We'll establish with you what your needs & requirements for your website build are, and we'll discuss with you what your expectations are in regards to what your website can achieve for your business.
We'll offer advice on the best design solutions for your requirements & budget.
03 Administration
We send you a Website Proposal of the intended work agreed in the previous two steps, as well as a standard Contract to digitally sign for the benefit of both parties.
Once both are accepted and digitally signed we move to the next step.
04 Deposit
A 50% deposit for the design is required before the build begins. This can be settled electronically and we provide online Invoices & Receipts for any payments.
The Annual Maintenance Plan is not included in this deposit, and is invoiced when your website build goes live.
05 Website copy
We'll send you an online questionnaire to gather details about your business, which we then optimise for Search Engines and add to your website.
We also send you a link to upload any images you may have directly from your laptop or phone. We provide licenced images if required.
06 Website build
Work will start on your website design build with the information we have gathered on a development site URL.
We'll deliver your website draft and complete any changes required before we migrate your site to your live domain. We'll then optimise for SEO, website speed & security.
When the website build is complete and your website sitemap has been indexed to Google, Bing etc., we'll provide you with a personalised PDF Report advising you how to promote your website effectively through Social Media and other methods, as well as what you can do to help with your Organic (free) Search Engine Optimisation.
We'll also provide personalised training videos on how to update your site content etc. & how to manage your online shop if applicable. After your site goes live there is a 6 week window for any design & content changes you may require and this is free of charge for that period.
