What I do
Good-looking is the start. Working well is the point.
A website should bring you enquiries, bookings and sales, and be easy for you to keep up to date. That's what I build.
Modern, fast websites
Built with Astro as static sites on Cloudflare's global network, so pages load in a blink and there's very little to break or hack.
Edit it yourself
Change your prices, opening times, photos and posts from a simple editor. No phoning a developer for a typo.
Bookings, shops & integrations
Booking systems, online shops and connections to the tools you already use, built by a senior backend engineer, so it's done properly.
Ongoing care
Care plans cover updates, backups, monitoring and small changes, so your site keeps working while you run your business.
Local and in person
Based in Donegal. Happy to meet over a coffee anywhere in the northwest and talk it through in plain English.
Why Doherty Digital
An engineer behind every pixel.
Senior engineering
By day I’m a senior backend software engineer. Bookings, payments and integrations get the same care as large production systems.
Fast by default
Static sites served from Cloudflare’s network load quickly on rural broadband and mobile data alike.
Yours to edit
Update text, photos, prices and posts yourself through a simple editor, no code needed.
Local, in person
Based in Donegal and working across the northwest. You deal with me directly, start to finish.
