A Bit of History
When the profession of ‘web design’ first appeared in the 90′s, there was a growing trend of inexperienced and uncommitted website designers charging ridiculous amounts of money for poorly designed and constructed web sites.
From initially designing web sites as a hobby, the Red Rhino founders realised there was an full-time opportunity to provide companies with the web site they deserve, without having to worry about being taken advantage of, or having a poorly designed (and costly) web site.
With a little courage and a determined mindset, Red Rhino was brought to life way back in 1999 so that we could concentrate on developing sites on a full-time basis and enjoy life at the same time. Red Rhino has proved that we have the business knowledge and staying-power which many others don’t have - there aren’t many web design agencies in the UK who have been around as long as Red Rhino.
Nowadays, our wide range of clients stretch from Belfast throughout Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, Republic of Ireland, Europe, USA and even Far-East and include private and professional individuals, commercial companies, governmental bodies, community groups and statutory organisations.

What can we do for you?
Our web design portfolio of past work is our advertising, and we want your web site to be the best it can possibly be as much as you do. At the same time, we don’t simply want to be your design firm. We like to learn about the people and companies we work with. Many of our clients have turned into good friends, and are always coming back for advice, or referring their friends to us. We don’t charge by the hour or put projects on the ‘back burner’. We’ll take the hassle out of the project and we’re happy when you are happy. Have a look at some of our client testimonials and feel free to contact any client company mentioned on this site.
So, where did the Red Rhino name come from?
This is the one of the most common questions we are asked! The Red Rhino name was primarily inspired by the‘Rhinoceros’ series of books by Scott Alexander. These easy-to-read and humorous books provide inspiration for anyone wishing to achieve a better balance in their life – covering work, family and spiritual matters. So, grab yourself a copy of Rhinoceros Success in Paperback or the Rhinoceros Success eBook, become a rhino and “Charge!”.
