Is Your Website Winning You Business, or Quietly Losing It?
Right now, someone in Wexford is searching online for exactly what you offer. The only question is whether they find you — or one of your competitors. Every search you don’t show up for, and every visitor who lands on a site that doesn’t convince them, is business going somewhere else.
The damage from an underperforming website is easy to underestimate because it’s invisible. You don’t see the customer who gave up because your pages loaded too slowly, or the one who couldn’t find your contact details on their phone, or the dozens who never found you on Google in the first place. But it adds up, week after week.
We’ve spent over 20 years building websites for businesses across the South East, and we know what separates a site that just sits there from one that actually earns its keep. Before we write a line of code, we ask the only question that matters: is this going to bring you customers?
We Know Wexford. And That Shows in the Work.
Understanding a place changes how you build for it. We know the Wexford business landscape — a county where tourism and hospitality along the coast sit alongside strong agriculture, food production, and a growing base of independent retailers and service firms. A holiday let in Rosslare, a farm shop outside Enniscorthy and a professional practice in Gorey are all chasing very different customers, and a website has to reflect that.
We build for businesses right across the county — from Wexford Town and the busy retail scene in Gorey, to New Ross, Enniscorthy and the coastal spots that come alive in summer. We understand the pull of seasonal trade, the reality of competing with larger Dublin and Waterford operators, and what local customers here actually respond to. And when a project calls for it, we’re close enough to meet you in person rather than over yet another video call.
Don’t Just Take Our Word for It
Here’s what our clients say about working with Whelan.
Website Design Questions We Get Asked All the Time
Every project is priced based on what it actually involves, so costs vary. Our website design projects start at €6,000 and every client receives a clear, detailed quote after their free consultation. You’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for before you commit to anything.
A standard business website typically takes four to eight weeks from kick-off to launch. Larger or more complex projects take longer, and we’ll always give you a realistic timeline upfront rather than one that sounds good but doesn’t hold up.
Generally, if your website is over five years old, isn’t mobile-friendly, loads slowly, or isn’t bringing in enquiries despite getting visitors — a redesign will serve you better than patching things. We’ll give you an honest opinion on this during your free consultation, with no pressure either way.
Absolutely. Every website we build is fully responsive — meaning it automatically adapts to look and work correctly on any screen, from a small smartphone to a large desktop monitor.
Yes, and we make sure of it. Most of our websites are built on WordPress, which has a content management system that’s straightforward to use without any technical background. We’ll walk you through it before handover and we’re always on hand if you get stuck.
We work with Hosting Ireland — a Waterford-based hosting company — to provide fast, reliable, Irish-based hosting for our clients. It’s another piece of the project handled locally, by people who understand the market.
A solid SEO foundation is built into every website we create — the technical side, the page structure, the metadata. For Waterford businesses that want to actively target competitive keywords and grow their organic visibility over time, we offer SEO as a dedicated ongoing service alongside web design.
For most Wexford business websites, WordPress is our recommendation — it’s flexible, well-supported and puts you in control. For businesses with a strong eCommerce focus, Shopify or WooCommerce may be more appropriate. We’ll recommend the right platform for your situation during your initial consultation.
It depends on what you need your website to do. Builders like Wix or Squarespace are fine for getting something online quickly, but they come with real limitations — template-based designs that look generic, slower performance, weaker SEO, and limited flexibility when your business needs something specific. For a Waterford business that’s serious about growth, a professionally designed website is almost always the stronger long-term investment.
Get in touch for a free, no-obligation consultation. We’re at Six Cross Roads Business Park in Waterford City, and we’re always happy to have an honest conversation about your project — whether you have a detailed brief ready or you’re still figuring out what you need.
