Web Design Newtownards | Website Designer County Down | Northern Ireland

Boutique web designer in Newtownards, County Down

At the most northern tip of Strangford Lough lies Newtownards, known locally known as 'Ards'. Established a market town in the 1600s it was built around the old Priory which still stands today. These days it’s a friendly neighbourhood known for its extensive green spaces.

But it’s not just a pretty face - Newtownards has some serious industrial pedigree. Denroy Plastics in Bangor is one of the world’s leading innovators in the design and manufacture of engineered polymer components and solutions for the aerospace, automotive, commercial and medical industries. B2B companies don’t always have the most compelling websites, often neglecting them more than a direct to consumer company might. I build professional, high-spec sites for engineering and manufacturing firms that need to impress global partners while remaining rooted in County Down.

In 2013, Echlinville Distillery became Northern Ireland's first licensed distillery in over 125 years. They have won multiple awards and contribute strongly to the local tourism economy. I have built many websites for drinks brands such as Porter’s Gin, No.3 Gin and Pochle to name a few. It is essential for brands in the food & drink sector to be able to tell their story well to compete in a crowded market for the hearts and stomaches of consumers and stockists.

Newtownards, gateway to the Ards Peninsula, is home to world class food. Mash Direct which can be found in major supermarkets is based in Comber. There is also a vibrant scene of independent artisans that sell markets such as the one on Strangford Lough. Whether you’re a Farm to Fork e-commerce brand or an industry leading Agri-Tech your website should be as fresh as your produce. I work with companies in the Food & Drinks sector to build digital experiences that align with their business goals.

Another thriving sector in the area is tourism. Currently under construction, the Newtownards to Bangor Greenway will utilise much of the old railway and provide up to four-metre-wide paths for walking and cycling. It’s a major piece of infrastructure that will provide a scenic route to Whitespots Country Park/ Ark Farm. Check out my Travel & Luxury stays portfolio for a small selection of clients I have worked with in the tourism sector.

Like much of the country, there is also an invisible economy of work from home consultants and kitchen table start-ups. If that’s you, I can help your business scale and get noticed with a website that connects and drives sales and enquiries.

The, recently announced, Local Economic Partnership (LEP) is pushing for digital transformation in the town centre. I consider myself a partner in Newtownards’ growth, helping traditional retailers launch online stores, ensuring the town remains a thriving retail hub throughout the 2020s and beyond.
