Web design in Ballymena
Bespoke websites for Ballymena businesses, built from our studio in Holywood. Fixed price agreed before anything starts, and the person who scopes your project is the person who builds it.
Start a projectThe website is usually the only part of your business someone inspects before deciding whether to ring you.
That is true anywhere, and it is why a bought theme is a false economy for anything that has to win work, not just exist. We are honest about the other side of it too: if what you need is a few pages done properly, that is our entry-level build and it costs a fraction of a bespoke one.
Marketing site and content
The pages that do the selling, with a structure that fits what you actually offer. Blog, case studies, news and landing pages, all editable by your team without ringing us.
Selling online
Physical stock, digital products, subscriptions and gift cards, with payments taken securely and stock kept in step with the shop floor.
E-commerceTaking bookings
Availability, deposits and confirmations on your own domain, around your own rules, with no commission taken on anything you sell.
Booking systemsMember areas and portals
Logins, roles, gated content and the internal tools that sit behind the public site. Where a website stops being a brochure and starts being software.
Web applicationsNot sure which of these you need?
Connected to what you already run
Orders reach your accounts package, enquiries reach your CRM, and nobody retypes anything into a second system. We write the integrations as part of the build.
Built, and live
Three we are asked about most, all running on the admin we handed over. Sites you can go and look at, for people you can go and ask. See all of our work.
When researching companies to build our website, I explored portfolios of work to see what different agencies could deliver. Element Seven's work stood out so clearly that I didn't even contact anyone else. The entire process was seamless. Communication was excellent, timelines were met without chasing.

How we deliver
A fixed price agreed first, a staging site from the first week, and the same people the whole way through.
A call or a meeting to pin down what the site has to achieve and who it is for. We will suggest the approach we think fits, including telling you if a smaller build would do.
The approach in writing, with what is in, what is out, a timeline and a fixed price. No hourly rate running quietly in the background.
Designed against your real content rather than placeholder text, so what gets approved is what actually ships.
Built, tested on a staging site you can see from the first week, then handed over with an admin your own team can operate.
Step one costs nothing, just let us know what you need.
Have you built anything in Ballymena?
Not yet, and we would rather say so than dress up a client from somewhere else as a local one. Our work is spread across Northern Ireland, from Belfast and Lisburn to Dungannon, Omagh and Portadown, and none of it depended on being round the corner. What you can do is check any of it: the sites are live and the clients are named.
Does it matter that you are not local to us?
Less than you would think. Holywood is about forty minutes away and we are happy to make the trip, but most projects run over calls and email regardless of distance. What matters more is that the person who scopes your project is the person who builds it, and that does not change with the postcode.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on how much is bespoke, how many systems it has to connect to, and how much content needs moving across. You get a fixed price against a written scope before anything starts.
How long does it take?
A few weeks for a straightforward site. Longer where there are bookings, payments or a members area, because there is software underneath it. You get a timeline in the proposal and a staging site from the first week.
What happens after it launches?
Hosting on our own servers and a maintenance plan, priced separately from the build. Fifty-odd of our seventy-odd projects are still with us.
