How we vet every listicle
Every agency featured on Web Tonic passes our 84-point editorial review before a single listicle goes live. This is how we vet each pick:
Verified client outcomes: We require real case studies with measurable KPIs — revenue, ROAS, CPA, retention — tied to the exact category being ranked. No cherry-picked wins, no unverifiable numbers.
Independent reputation: We cross-check Clutch, Google, G2, and Trustpilot ratings, and screen for review-bombing or suspicious patterns. Only operators with a consistent, verifiable track record make the cut.
Beyond that, every listing goes through a quarterly re-audit. We check 84 criteria across 6 pillars to make sure it still holds up — here are some of the checks we run:
A web design and UI/UX agency plans and builds a company's website: it studies how visitors behave, maps the pages and user journeys, designs the interface, builds it on a CMS such as WordPress, Shopify or Squarespace, and keeps it fast and secure after launch.
We kept only firms whose own site sells web design or development, then checked each address, client claim and price by hand. Fifteen of the sixteen work from Belfast and RANE Digital is based in Banbridge with a Belfast office. Eleven name a client we verified, and five publish a price.
What does a web design and UI/UX agency in Belfast actually do?
It plans, designs and builds websites: research and wireframes, interface design, the CMS or ecommerce build, testing and launch, then hosting and aftercare. Sixteen external firms serving Belfast cleared our checks, and five of them publish a price on their own site.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I choose between these Belfast web design agencies?
Look at live sites before you look at a proposal. A strong Belfast web design agency can point to sites it built that are still running, explain how research and wireframes come before visual design, and justify the CMS it recommends for your team. Confirm who will own the domain, hosting and design files at launch, and what support costs each month. Wibble, DHD and Creative Crew Studio lead with design and build, while ProfileTree, GEKKOSHOT and The Marketing Crowd NI sell websites beside SEO and campaigns.
What does a website cost from a Belfast agency?
Five of the sixteen external firms publish a figure. Juggernaut Technologies advertises websites from GBP £699, Propel Belfast says simple sites can cost as little as £900, Yellow Zest gives web design from £1,500 as a guide, Hatch Web Design sells a one-week Squarespace build for £1,695, and Digital Drive lists websites from £3,000 plus VAT, with fully bespoke work from £6,000. Everyone else quotes after a call, so compare what each figure includes.
What is the difference between web design, UI/UX and web development?
Web design decides how a site looks and how visitors move through it. UI/UX work adds research, user journeys and testing, and web development covers the build itself, integrations and page speed. DHD runs UX research and content audits, Juggernaut Technologies also builds mobile apps, and Hatch Web Design specialises in Shopify and Squarespace. Whichever you hire, ask for discovery, design, build, content and aftercare as separate lines so two Belfast quotes can be compared fairly.
How long does a new website take, and when will it show results?
A small brochure site typically needs four to eight weeks from an agreed brief to launch, while a bespoke build with research, custom features or a shop often runs three to six months. Hatch Web Design sells a Squarespace site delivered in one week, but a custom build with user testing takes far longer. Enquiries and sales only move once the site has traffic and working analytics, so agree the success measures and the first-month fix process before launch.
Should I hire a Belfast agency or one based elsewhere?
Belfast has a deep bench, and fourteen of these firms print a BT postcode. Juggernaut Technologies and RANE Digital share an address on Dublin Road, Rapid Agency and GEKKOSHOT both sit on Queens Road, and others work from Donegall Street Place, Ormeau Avenue, Adelaide Street and Hill Street. RANE Digital is headquartered in Banbridge and Juggernaut also runs a Glasgow office. Meeting in person helps discovery, but ownership and support terms matter more than a postcode.
Choosing a Web Design Agency in Belfast
Fifteen of the sixteen external firms work from Belfast, and half of them are design-led studios, so start by deciding whether you want a dedicated build partner or one agency across web and marketing.
Eleven name a client we could verify, and five publish a price. Ask each shortlisted studio for two live sites in your sector and what changed for those clients after launch. One documented before-and-after result says more than a gallery of polished mock-ups.
Ownership comes before aesthetics. Your business should hold the domain, hosting, CMS logins and design files, with a written handover plan if you ever change agency. Get response times for support requests in writing as well.
Finally, meet the designer and developer who will build the site, and agree how often you will review work in progress. To keep the build, the creative and the traffic that follows with one accountable team, browse our latest analysis or see how we work in Belfast.
