Web Design Belfast
Looking for web design in Belfast that actually sounds like your business? Pocket54 is a Northern Ireland studio that designs and builds bespoke websites, ecommerce, and web apps — shaped around your identity, not a theme demo.
Trusted by organisations who care about getting it right.
Websites built for Belfast buyers.
Local searchers compare a handful of studios, then pick the one that feels clear, credible, and easy to deal with. We design for that moment — sharp messaging, fast pages, and a path to enquire that doesn’t make people work for it.
Found for local searches.
Clean structure, sensible titles, and content that names Belfast, Northern Ireland, and the services you actually sell — so Google and customers can both make sense of you.
Built to convert, not just impress.
Clear offers, trustworthy proof, and contact paths that work on a phone in Botanic as well as a laptop in the office.
Someone local who stays.
You’re dealing with an experienced Belfast studio — not a vanishing freelancer or a junior account hop. Training and support after launch are part of the deal.
A good fit if you are…
- A Belfast or NI business that needs a website people can find and trust
- Tired of template sites that make you look like every competitor on Google
- Ready for a proper multi-page site, store, or small web app — not a DIY drag-and-drop forever
- Happier talking to one senior contact than a large agency telephone tree
Probably not for you if…
- You only need the cheapest one-page site and nothing else. For a compact digital presence, see our business card website.
- You want a huge retainer team and weekly decks more than you want the work shipped
- You’re after a pure marketing agency (ads, PR, social) rather than design and build
How a Belfast project runs with us
1
Listen & map
We clarify who you serve in NI (and beyond), what the site must do, and what “done” looks like.
2
Structure & content
Pages, offers, and proof arranged so local visitors know they’re in the right place within seconds.
3
Design & build
Bespoke design system, fast front-end, and the CMS or app layer you’ll actually use day to day.
4
Launch & support
Go-live, hand-over, and ongoing help so the site keeps earning its keep after month one.

Built by a human.
In N. Ireland.
For over 20 years.
I'm Rick, the founder of Pocket54. I've been designing and building websites and digital systems for over two decades, first under the banner of Blackdog Media, now under a name that feels a bit more like me.
I work with a small, tight-knit team of collaborators — designers, marketers, photographers - brought in when a project needs them. No bloated agency overhead, no junior accounts people. Just experienced hands who care about the craft.
Our philosophy is simple: volume is the enemy of quality. I'd rather do fewer projects properly than churn out work that doesn't reflect well on anyone. If you want a partner who's genuinely invested in your success — not just your invoice — that's what Pocket54 is.

Belfast web design questions
Do you only work with businesses in Belfast?
No. We’re based in Belfast and most of our work is with Northern Ireland organisations, but we also work across the UK and Ireland by call and video. Local clients can meet in person when that’s useful.
How is Pocket54 different from other Belfast web design agencies?
We don’t sell template packs or vanish after launch. You get bespoke design and development from an experienced studio (formerly Black Dog Media), one clear point of contact, and systems shaped around how you actually work — websites, ecommerce, or custom apps.
How much does web design in Belfast cost with Pocket54?
Typical projects land between about £1,200 for a focused business-card site and £2,500–£6,000+ for a full custom website. Ecommerce and apps are scoped separately. We quote after a short conversation so the number matches the work.
Will my new site help with Google and local search?
Yes — we build with clear structure, performance, and space for the local content search engines need. Rankings still depend on competition and ongoing content, but you won’t launch on shaky foundations.
Can you redesign an existing Northern Ireland website?
Absolutely. Many projects start with a site that no longer reflects the business or is painful to update. We’ll assess what’s worth keeping, what to rebuild, and how to migrate without losing hard-won trust signals.
