Website design & development
Modern, responsive websites for small businesses and organisations, designed around your services and the action you want visitors to take — from a new build to a redesign of something that’s stopped working for you.
Web & app development studio — Northern Ireland
Websites and apps, built properly.
I’m Colm Doherty, and I design and build clear, responsive WordPress websites and mobile apps for small businesses and organisations that want to look professional, explain what they do properly and make it easier for people to get in touch.

How I can help
Websites, apps and support for small businesses.
Four straightforward ways I can help, from a brand-new website or app to ongoing care once you’re live.
- Website design & development
- WordPress development
- App development
- Website care & support
Every project starts with a proper look at what you actually need, so quotes are based on real scope rather than guesswork — and app projects are scoped individually for the same reason. My focus is websites, WordPress and apps I can deliver properly end-to-end; if something needs more specialist territory, like ecommerce or a custom platform, I’ll say so early and help point you in the right direction.
WordPress development
Custom WordPress websites with a clear structure and a simple content-management experience, so you can update text, images and pages yourself once the site is live.
App development
Mobile and companion apps where they genuinely add value for your business or organisation — scoped honestly, and only recommended when a website alone isn’t the right fit.
Website care & support
Hosting, backups, WordPress updates and routine checks, available through a written monthly care agreement once your site is live.
Featured work
Work built to make a difference.

GCF Church — Modern church website
A demo WordPress rebuild of GCF Church’s website, built around easier content management for volunteers and staff, with ChurchSuite integration work for events and groups. Shown here as a before/after demo rather than an advertised client project.
Independent software project
Reality NOC — Website operations dashboard
A read-only operations dashboard built to monitor the Reality website and its connected services, including availability, response times, SSL status, domain health and maintenance signals. Built as an independent software project to give a clearer operational view of the live site, rather than an advertised client service.

About Nightframe Studios
A note from Colm.
I’m Colm Doherty, and I run Nightframe Studios as an independent web and app developer based in Northern Ireland — not an agency, just me working directly with each client.
My background is in software support and development, and I’d rather build something genuinely useful than something that just looks good. That means understanding what your business actually needs before writing a line of code, then handling the technical side so you don’t have to.
Nightframe covers websites, WordPress builds, apps and the ongoing support that keeps a site running properly after launch — always scoped honestly, and built around what your business needs rather than what looks impressive in a portfolio.
Colm Doherty Founder, Nightframe Studios
Straightforward to work with, from first message to launch.
Clear scope and pricing
You’ll know the scope and price before any work begins, agreed upfront so there are no surprises partway through the project.
Built around your business
Every site is designed around your business, your customers and what you actually need it to do — not a generic template.
Ongoing support
Realistic, honest response times for support after launch, whether that’s a quick question or an agreed care plan.
How your website is built
Built to work properly on every screen.
Every website is built with dependable foundations, clear content and straightforward ownership—without unnecessary complexity.
- Mobile-friendly design
- Clear, easy-to-use pages
- WordPress content editing
- Fast-loading foundations
- Accessibility considered
- Basic on-page search setup
- Testing before launch
- Client ownership and straightforward handover
Built using WordPress, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP.
