Is Your Website Winning You Business?
Too many Irish businesses are losing customers to competitors simply because their website isn’t doing its job. Whether it looks outdated, loads slowly, doesn’t work properly on mobile, or fails to show up when customers search for what you offer — a poor website costs your business more than you think.
We’ve been building websites for Irish businesses for over 20 years. We work with sole traders, SMEs and established companies across Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford and every county in between — and we know exactly what separates a website that generates enquiries from one that gets ignored. Everything we build is designed with one goal in mind — to get you results.
Why Working With an Irish Web Design Agency Makes a Difference
Serving Irish Businesses From Cork to Donegal
While we’re based in Waterford, our clients come from right across Ireland. We regularly work with businesses in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Kilkenny, Wexford, Tipperary, Clare, Kerry, Wicklow, Kildare and beyond — and we manage the vast majority of our client relationships remotely with no loss of quality or communication.
Distance has never been a barrier to delivering excellent work. Our structured process — from discovery through design, development and launch — works just as effectively whether your business is in Waterford City or Westport.
If you’re looking for a web design agency that combines genuine Irish market expertise, 20+ years of experience and a track record of delivering results for businesses of all sizes, we’d love to hear from your business — wherever in Ireland you’re based.
Don’t Just Take Our Word for It
Here’s what our clients say about working with Whelan.
Website Design Ireland — Questions We Get Asked All the Time
Website costs in Ireland vary considerably depending on the size and complexity of the project. Our website design projects start at €6000 and we always provide a clear quote after your free consultation. No surprises, no hidden costs.
Most standard business websites take between four and eight weeks from brief to launch. More complex projects take longer. We’ll give you a realistic, detailed timeline before we start.
Both work well, but a .ie domain signals to Irish customers and Google that you’re an Irish business — which can help with local search visibility and builds trust with Irish visitors. For businesses primarily serving an Irish audience we typically recommend a .ie. For businesses targeting international audiences a .com may be more appropriate. We can advise on the best choice for your specific situation.
For most Irish businesses we recommend WordPress — it’s flexible, easy to manage, well-supported and has no ongoing platform fees. For eCommerce, we also work extensively with Shopify and WooCommerce depending on the business’s specific requirements.
Yes — any website that collects personal data from visitors is subject to GDPR. This includes contact forms, email sign-ups, eCommerce checkouts and analytics tracking. Every website we build includes a privacy policy, cookie consent and proper data handling practices as standard.
Absolutely — website redesigns are one of our most common project types. We assess your existing site, keep what’s working, improve what isn’t and build you a modern, high-performing replacement. Visit our [Website Redesign page] for more details.
Every website we build includes solid SEO foundations as standard. For businesses that want to actively rank for competitive search terms and drive consistent organic traffic, an ongoing SEO strategy is a separate but highly complementary investment. Visit our SEO Services page for more details.
