  1. Web design in Down

    Bubblehub is a web design company working with businesses across County Down. We design and build websites that bring in enquiries, and that is the only thing we ask to be judged on.

    Newry businesses in particular serve customers on both sides of the border, and the site should say so plainly.

  2. What you get

    Every site we build for a business in County Down includes the things that decide whether it earns its keep:

    • A first line that says what you do. Somebody arriving from a search decides in about a second whether they are in the right place. Most sites spend that second welcoming them.
    • Your area, named. Newry, Bangor, Newtownards, Downpatrick and Banbridge and the places around them, so you appear for the searches that carry a place in them, which is most of them.
    • Tap-to-call and a form short enough to finish. Most of your enquiries arrive from a phone, often from somebody standing beside a van.
    • Speed that passes Core Web Vitals. That is the measurement Google actually uses, and it is the difference between a visitor waiting and a visitor leaving.
    • A site you can update yourself, so changing a price or adding a job does not need a phone call or an invoice.

    Built on WordPress or Shopify, designed and developed here, and handed over working.

    Website design and build, e-commerce, hosting and maintenance, SEO, paid media, branding and photography, for businesses in Newry, Bangor, Newtownards, Downpatrick and Banbridge and the towns around them.

  3. Why Down businesses choose Bubblehub

    Built to be found, not just admired. We run SEO and paid media as well, so your site is structured for search from the first wireframe instead of being handed to somebody else to fix afterwards. A beautiful site nobody finds is an expensive brochure.

    One team, not four suppliers. Design, build, copy, photography and video are all done in-house. When something needs changing you ring one number, and the person who answers knows your site.

    Certified where it counts. We are a Google Partner, a Meta Business Partner, a Shopify Partner and LinkedIn certified. That matters because the people building your site work in those platforms every day rather than reading about them.

    You are dealing with the people doing the work. We answer the phone, and you will not be passed to an account manager who has never opened your website.

    We work across the whole island. For businesses in the North that means quoting and invoicing in sterling, and coming to see you when it is worth the drive rather than pretending we are around the corner.

    Some of the sites we have built are further down this page, live and open to look at. The ones with the numbers behind them are in our case studies.

  4. What happens after it launches

    A website is not finished on launch day, it is only live. We keep WordPress and Shopify sites updated, backed up and secure, watch the scores that decide how Google treats you, and keep improving the pages people actually land on.

    If you want the site found as well as built, that is SEO in Down, and it is the other half of the same job. Plenty of our clients start with the website and add it once the site is earning.

  5. What it costs and how long it takes

    A straightforward site for a local business takes a few weeks and sits at the lower end. A shop with stock and payments takes longer and costs more. Anything with bookings, logins or an integration costs more again.

    We would rather give you a real number than a range that fits nobody. Ring us and inside five minutes you will know roughly what your site would cost and whether we are the right people to build it. If we are not, we will say so and tell you who might be.

  6. Get a price for your Down website

    Tell us what you do, what the site has to bring in, and roughly what you had in mind to spend. We will come back with a straight answer rather than a brochure.

    Ring 083 065 0164, or send us the details and we will be back to you within one working day. No obligation, and no salesperson will ring you twice.

Good work builds trust. In their words.

We heard about Bubblehub Media from a really satisfied client of theirs, and similarly our experience has been brilliant.

Frequently asked.

How much does a website cost?

It depends on what the site has to do: a brochure site, a booking system and an online store are different jobs. Our free website cost calculator prices yours line by line from what Irish and UK designers publish, our guide to website costs explains what moves a project from one range to the next, and every quote we give is itemised.

Will I be able to update the website myself?

Yes. We build on WordPress and Shopify, and before launch we help you get comfortable managing your own pages, posts and products. If you would rather we look after it, our hosting and maintenance packages cover updates, backups and support.

Is the website built with SEO in mind?

From the first wireframe. Site speed, page and title structure, internal linking, image optimisation and clean code are part of the build, not an add-on, so the site is ready to rank the day it goes live.

What happens after launch?

We handle the final checks, hand over with training and plan the next steps together, whether that is search, paid ads or simply keeping the site fast and secure. Your input at every stage, our team with you throughout.

Do you work with businesses in Down?

Yes. The address on this page is where we meet people in Down, and we work with businesses right across Ireland and the United Kingdom. If we are not the right fit for what you need, we will say so and point you somewhere better.

How long will it take to launch my website in Down?

Weeks rather than months for a straightforward site, longer for a shop with stock and payments or anything with bookings and logins. You get a date when we quote. The thing that moves that date is almost always waiting on words and photographs, so we tell you up front exactly what we need from you and when.

Will the site rank for Down searches?

The build gives it the best possible start: the pages, headings and internal links are structured for the searches that include Down, and the site is responsive and fast on a phone, which is what most of those searches happen on. Ranking itself is earned over months rather than switched on, and that is the SEO work, which we also do.

How can a Down business compete with firms in Belfast?

On the searches that carry a place in them, you are not competing with Belfast at all. Google weights location heavily for those, so a Down business with a good site wins them. Where you do compete is on the broad terms, and there it is decided by how fast the site is, how well it answers the question and who links to you, none of which depends on your address.

Can you build an ecommerce website or online shop for a Down business?

Yes. We are a Shopify Partner and we build ecommerce websites on both Shopify and WooCommerce. Which one suits you depends on how many products you carry, how you take payment and what it has to connect to, and we will tell you straight which is the better fit rather than selling you the one we prefer.

Can you redesign or refresh our existing website in Down?

Yes, and a redesign is often a better place to start than a new build: keep what works, fix what does not. What matters most is keeping the rankings you already have, so every old address is mapped to its new one and redirected before the new site goes live.

Do you do web development as well as web design in Down?

Yes. The developers who build the site work beside the designers who draw it, so custom features, bookings, logins and connections to your other systems are built in-house rather than passed out to someone else.
