How much does a business website cost in Ireland?
A professional business website in Ireland typically ranges from €1,500–3,500 for a straightforward 5–8 page site with standard design and WordPress CMS, up to €4,000–8,000 for a larger site with custom design, multiple content types, and integrations. Corporate website development with complex functionality, multilingual content, or bespoke systems integration falls above that range. We provide a fixed-price quote after the initial chat — no hourly billing.
What is the cost of setting up a website in Ireland?
Beyond development costs, budget for: domain registration (€10–20/year for a .ie domain), hosting (€10–30/month for quality managed hosting), SSL certificate (often included with hosting), and ongoing maintenance. We can recommend reliable Ireland-based hosting providers and include the first year of basic maintenance in most projects.
How long does business website development take?
A typical 5–8 page business website takes 3–5 weeks from discovery to launch. Larger sites with more pages, custom functionality, or complex integrations take 6–10 weeks. The most common cause of delays is waiting for content — we provide a content structure guide to help you prepare copy and images efficiently.
What should I look for in a website development company in Ireland?
Three things matter most: can you see real live websites they've built (not mockups), will you deal directly with the developer or be passed to account managers, and do they ask about your business goals before talking about design? A good corporate website development company understands that a website is a business tool — and scopes the project accordingly.
Do I need WordPress or a custom-built website?
WordPress is the right choice for most business websites in Ireland. It's flexible, well-supported, your team can manage it independently, and it's cost-effective to maintain. Custom development makes sense when your requirements genuinely can't be met by WordPress — complex data structures, bespoke user workflows, or deep system integrations. We'll tell you honestly which applies to your situation.
Can I get a grant for website development in Ireland?
Yes. The Trading Online Voucher (TOV) from Enterprise Ireland offers grants of up to €2,500 for eligible small businesses in Ireland investing in their online presence. Your Local Enterprise Office (LEO) manages the application process. We provide the invoice format required for grant claims and can advise on the process. Ask us when you get in touch.
Who are the best web design companies in Ireland?
The best fit depends on your business size, budget, and what you need the site to do. Large agencies offer big teams but often hand your project to junior developers. Freelancers are flexible but carry availability risk. YAM sits between — a company registered in Ireland where the founder with 14+ years of experience works on your project directly, with the structure and accountability of a proper business.
