A Decade of Website Design in Ballymena & Beyond


From our base in Ballymena, County Antrim, Gazelle Communications has become a trusted name in:


  • Northern Ireland website development

  • Ballymena web design services

Managing Director Rodney Kernohan brings almost two decades of experience within the UK telecommunications distribution sector, where he played a key role in business development and strategic marketing across the UK and Ireland.


In 2016, we founded Gazelle Communications to support and guide small business owners through the often complex world of digital marketing, helping local UK brands strengthen their online presence and improve their visibility in search results.


“Over the past ten years, we’ve designed and developed high-performing websites for businesses in manufacturing, engineering, agri-food, professional services, retail, hospitality and beyond, sectors that represent the very backbone of the Northern Ireland economy.


Our focus at Gazelle has always been clear: build websites that convert, rank and represent brands and local businesses, professionally online”.
