Stop paying commission on your own customers.
A booking page on your own site that locks the slot the second someone takes it, collects the deposit into your account, and drops the job in your calendar. Live in 21 days, for a fixed £1,950.
Built for tours, stays, venues, classes and experiences. The rest of what this studio does is below.
The full system behind how your business gets seen.
One studio designs it, builds it, launches it and keeps it growing, so your site, your brand and everything you publish actually match.
Web Design & Development
Custom-coded sites, built by hand. No templates, no page builders.
Brand Identity
Logo, colour, type and a visual system that holds together everywhere it appears.
SEO & Local Search
On-page SEO, Google Business Profile and schema, built in from day one.
Social Media & Content
Post design, captions and publishing plans in your brand's voice.
Video & Production
Filming coordinated with trusted collaborators, editing and post-production in-house.
Marketing Strategy
A plan for what to publish and when, so the work keeps working after launch.
Whatever you do,
we make you look the part.
From a busy restaurant to a touring singer, we build websites that work as hard as you do. The creative background just means you get real character, never a template with your name on it.
Local & Growing Businesses
Restaurants, shops, trades and services. You need to show up on Google, look credible, and turn visitors into customers. Custom-coded, fast, and entirely yours, at a price scoped to the job.
Venues & Hospitality
Atmosphere doesn't stop at your door. We translate the feeling of your room into a website that fills tables, with booking, menus and a brand people remember.
Artists & Performers
Your website is your stage before the stage. We build sites, electronic press kits and social content that get you booked, because we know what a promoter looks for in the first ten seconds.
Three ways to work with us
Honest pricing, scoped to the size of the job, not the size of an agency's overhead. Custom web design for small businesses in Derry and across the UK, with SEO built in from day one.
Three website packages, three monthly plans and six add-ons. Every figure published, nothing behind a form.
14 years on stage
Fourteen years learning how to hold a room.
Now we do it in three seconds.
Maiden City Digital was founded by Benny Rod, a professional tenor with 14 years performing internationally, credits with the National Symphony Orchestra London for HBO, appearances at the Abu Dhabi opera house, and the marketing director of a working opera festival in Spain.
Here is why that matters to your business. For fourteen years the job was to walk onto a stage and convince a room full of strangers to pay attention, stay, and come back. That is exactly what your website has to do. The only difference is that on stage you get three minutes. Online, you get three seconds.
Most agencies learned your customer from a brief. We learned them from the front row. Whether you run a restaurant, a garage or a record label, the question is the same: does the person landing on your page stay, or leave?
Not only websites
Beyond the builds above, we handle SEO, sales strategy and social for artists, orchestras and festivals across the UK and Spain.

The people who had to live with the result.
Real clients. Real projects. Their words, not ours.
My old site barely worked on a phone, and that's where most people were trying to listen. They rebuilt it from scratch, fixed the playback issues, and put together my outreach list for radio and festivals. It actually does something for me now instead of just sitting there.
I needed a site and a press bio that worked in two languages without reading like a translation. They got both right, and it's made it so much easier to send venues one link instead of three different documents.
They built the whole brand for Odin's Mead Hall from nothing, the website, the booking system, the launch posts, all of it. It looks like somewhere you actually want to spend an evening, and the bookings started before we'd even opened the doors.
Four steps. No mystery.
You'll always know where your project stands, what happens next, and what it costs.
Discover
A free call to understand your goals, your audience and what you have now. You get an honest review, even if the answer is "your current site is fine."
Design
We present the design direction first. Don't approve it? 50% back, no questions asked. Approve it, and two revision rounds are included.
Build
Custom-coded, mobile-first, and fast. No page builders, no bloat, no platform lock-in. The code is entirely yours.
Launch & grow
We launch, submit to Google, and hand over the keys. Or we keep it running with a Care plan and content that stays on-brand.
Questions, answered
Our websites start at £495 for a small business site and scale with the size of the job. You get a fixed quote on a free call, no surprises.

Not at all. Roughly half our work is for restaurants, shops, trades and other local businesses across Derry, Northern Ireland and the UK. Our creative-industry background just means every client gets a site with real character, not a template with your logo on it.
