Irish Shoppers Are Buying Online Every Day. Is Your Business Ready For Them?
If your business doesn’t have an online shop, you’re leaving money on the table every time a potential customer searches for what you sell and finds a competitor instead. And if your current online shop is slow, hard to navigate or doesn’t inspire confidence at checkout you’re probably going to lose those clients to the guys next door.
Your online shop should be working around the clock, turning browsers into buyers and growing your business while you sleep. We’ve been building eCommerce websites for Irish businesses for over 20 years. We know what works, what doesn’t, and exactly how to build an online shop that your customers will love using.
So leave it to us to get your shop up and running.

Don’t Just Take Our Word for It
Here’s what our clients say about working with Whelan.
Logo Design Questions We Get Asked a Lot
eCommerce website costs in Ireland vary depending on the platform, the number of products, and the complexity of the functionality required. Our website design projects all start at €6,000 but we always give clear quotes after every consultation.
Both are excellent platforms, but the right choice depends on your specific situation.
Shopify is generally easier to manage day-to-day and has lower ongoing technical overhead, making it a great choice for businesses that want to focus on selling rather than site management.
WooCommerce offers more flexibility and lower platform costs but requires more technical involvement. We can help you make the right decision for your business during your free consultation.
In most cases, yes. If your existing website is built on WordPress, adding WooCommerce is often quite straightforward and we can help you with that. If it’s built on another platform, we can either integrate eCommerce functionality or build you a new website with eCommerce built in from the ground up. Let us assess your current site and then we will give you our honest recommendation.
Most eCommerce projects take between six and ten weeks from brief to launch, depending on the number of products and the complexity of the functionality required. We’ll give you a detailed, realistic timeline before we start so you can plan your launch accordingly.
Yes! To accept card payments through a payment gateway like Stripe or PayPal in Ireland, you’ll need a business bank account. If you’re just starting out, we can point you in the right direction and make sure your payment setup is configured correctly from day one.
Yes, provided your website is built correctly. Every eCommerce website we build includes an SSL security certificate, and we only integrate with reputable, PCI-compliant payment gateways like Stripe and PayPal. Your customers’ payment details are never stored on your website.
Yes, the Trading Online Voucher Scheme provides funding of up to €2,500 for eligible small businesses looking to start or improve their online trading. This can be used towards eCommerce website design and development costs.
Building a great online shop is step one for sure but getting customers to it is a whole other step. The foundations start with good SEO, which we build into every site from day one. Beyond that, strategies like Google Shopping, social media advertising, email marketing and content marketing all play a role. We’ll give you honest advice on the best approach for your specific business and budget.
