A Dated Website Costs You More Than You Think
Your website is often the first impression a potential customer has of your business. If it looks outdated, loads slowly, doesn’t work properly on mobile, or feels like it belongs to a different era, it’s not giving a good impression. And in most cases, your visitors won’t get in touch. They’ll click back and find a competitor whose website gives them the confidence to work with them.
The hard truth is that a poor website doesn’t just fail to win new business it actively loses it. Customers who might have called you, emailed you or walked through your door instead bounce away, never to return.

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
Website redesign costs in Ireland vary depending on the size and complexity of the existing site and the scope of work involved. A straightforward redesign of a small business website will be cheaper than a larger, more complex redesign will cost more. We always provide a clear quote following a free website review so you know exactly what’s involved before you commit to anything.
Most website redesigns take between four and eight weeks from brief to launch, depending on the size of the site and the availability of content and feedback. We’ll give you a detailed timeline upfront so you can plan your launch accordingly.
A redesign can affect rankings if it’s not handled carefully particularly if URLs change without proper redirects in place. We manage the technical SEO side of every redesign carefully to protect your existing rankings and give your new site the best possible start in search.
It depends on the current state of your website. If the underlying structure, content and technology are sound, a visual refresh may be enough. If the site is outdated technically, not mobile-friendly, or built on an unsupported platform, a full redesign is usually the better long-term investment. We’ll give you an honest assessment during your free website review.
Yes, we review all existing content as part of the redesign process and carry over everything that’s worth keeping, improving it where needed. Content that’s outdated, poorly written or no longer relevant will be flagged for rewriting or removal.
Yes. We build most redesigned websites on WordPress, which has a straightforward content management system that most people can pick up quickly. We provide training before handover and are always on hand if you need help.
No problem, we will work within your existing brand guidelines and carry your current logo, colours and fonts through into the new design. If your branding also needs a refresh, we can handle that as part of the project. Take a look at our Branding page for more details.
The clearest signs are: your website looks dated or you’re embarrassed to share it, it doesn’t work properly on mobile, it loads slowly, it’s not generating enquiries despite getting visitors, or it no longer accurately reflects your business. If any of these apply, get in touch for a free website review and we’ll give you an honest, no-obligation assessment.
