Coleraine Design
A family-owned studio outside Philadelphia. Since 2007 we’ve designed and built more than fifty websites for conferences, medical practices, pubs, parishes, sports clubs and nonprofits, and most of those clients are still with us.

Our first client, Beer Appreciation, is still with us.
Abroad

Design, hosting, care and SEO from one studio. No hand-offs.
01 · The people
The people you’ll actually work with.
Coleraine Design was founded in 2007 by Séamus Cummins and Brendan Goggin while they were in graduate school at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia. In 2024 Jill Cummins joined Séamus as his partner, and the studio became family owned and operated, based in Huntingdon Valley, just outside the city.
You work directly with the people building your website. No layers, no handoffs, no disappearing after launch. It’s why clients across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Texas and Ireland have stayed with us from the beginning.
02 · How we work
Four things you can count on.
i
Directly with us.
No account managers and no handoffs. You talk to the people designing and building your site, from the first call to launch day.
ii
Made for you, not from a template.
Every site is designed and built around the client it serves: their story, their audience, their photographs.
iii
Here long after launch.
Updates, fixes and new ideas for years after a site goes live. It’s why clients stay with us once we work with them.
iv
We pick up where others left off.
Many of our clients came to us after their previous designer stopped responding. We take over the site, steady it, and carry it forward.
Our first client, since 2007
What I wanted then, and now, is stability, no surprises, and responsiveness. I got all of those and more.

Built here.
Roots there.
03 · Where the name comes from
A name carried from County Derry.
Coleraine is a town on the River Bann in County Derry, close to where our family’s roots are.
We named the studio as a reminder of where our roots come from and of the kind of work we want to do: learned properly, and done by hand.
Even the logo comes from there. In Irish, Coleraine is Cúil Raithin, the nook of the ferns. Our C is a fern frond.
04 · Community
Still part of the community we came from.
Séamus has been part of the Irish community for more than 25 years. A lot of our work comes from it, and a good deal of our time goes back into it.
The Irish Memorial
Our largest project to date: the website for Philadelphia’s memorial to An Gorta Mór, the Great Hunger.
Irish Diaspora Center
We’re building the center’s new website. Launching soon.
The Plough & The Stars
We designed and built the website for the Irish pub and restaurant in Old City, Philadelphia.
New Deck Tavern
We designed and built a new presence for University City, Philadelphia’s top Irish Pub.
Raymond Coleman
We designed and built the website for the Tyrone-born folk singer and guitarist, who plays Irish ballads in pubs and clubs along the East Coast.
Friel’s
We took over the Friel’s website, audited it and fixed the problems holding it back. A full redesign follows the launch of VisitGorta.ie, which Friel’s also owns.
VisitGorta.ie
Our first full design project in Ireland: the website for Gorta, Swatragh’s famine story, in County Derry. Launching soon.
In the community
Séamus serves on the committee of the Plough Bhoys CSC and on the Celtic FC Foundation New York Gala Committee, and is a member of the Derry Society.
