Snow Design House

What Snow Design House does

Snow Design House is a privately held Belfast-based web and graphic design agency founded in 2011. The company produces bespoke responsive websites, eCommerce solutions, logo and business identity design, printed collateral (business stationery, shop signs, PVC banners), and specialized menu design primarily for small and medium businesses, with secondary exposure to the hospitality and nonprofit sectors. Named customers span car valet, hair and beauty, restaurant, takeaway, and refugee support verticals, and the firm claims an international client roster covering the UK, USA, Ireland, France, Italy, China, India, and Africa.

The technology stack is conventional: HTML5, CSS3, jQuery, and PHP/MySQL for web development; Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop for graphic design output. eCommerce builds integrate multiple third-party payment gateways (Realex, Stripe, PayPal, WorldPay, Sage Pay) with SSL/Symantec-secured transactions, and client websites embed Google Maps, Facebook feeds, and JustGiving donation links as needed. Outside its core services, the company launched "Gobbler," a mobile game for iOS and Android, in 2017.

Revenue is generated through quote-based one-time project fees (typically requiring 70% advance payment), full upfront payment for standalone graphic design work, and modest recurring hosting and maintenance subscriptions. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer via the company website, phone, email, and an organic social media presence across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest, supplemented by referrals. The business is bootstrapped and founder-led, with no disclosed external funding, institutional investors, or headcount.
