How much do web design services cost in Ireland?
Web design services in Ireland typically range from €1,000–2,500 for a focused design-only engagement (wireframes + visual design, no development) for a small business website. Mobile app UI/UX design for a 10–15 screen app runs €2,500–5,000 design-only. When design and development are combined in one project, the design cost is usually bundled into the total. We provide a clear breakdown in every quote.
What is the difference between UI and UX design?
UX (user experience) design is about how a product works — the structure, flows, and interactions that determine whether users can accomplish their goals. UI (user interface) design is about how it looks — the visual layer of colours, typography, and components built on top of the UX foundation. Good products need both. We handle both, in the right order: UX foundations first, visual design second.
Do you design both websites and mobile apps?
Yes. We design web interfaces (websites, web applications, landing pages) and mobile apps (iOS and Android) — often for the same client when they need both. Web and mobile design follow different platform conventions and we apply each appropriately rather than resizing the same layouts across platforms.
How do I hire a UI designer in Ireland?
The most useful thing to evaluate is live work — products you can actually use, not just static portfolio screenshots. Ask whether the designer also understands development, because design decisions made without implementation knowledge regularly create problems in the build phase. At YAM, our designers and developers are the same person — the design is created with build feasibility in mind from the start.
How long does a web design project take?
Design-only for a standard business website (wireframes + visual design for 8–12 pages) typically takes 2–4 weeks. Mobile app UI/UX design for a focused app takes 3–5 weeks. Larger products with complex user flows or many screen types take longer. Timeline depends heavily on how quickly feedback is provided at each review stage.
What do I get at the end of a design project?
A fully organised Figma file containing: wireframes, final visual designs for all screens and states, a component library, responsive breakpoints, and developer annotations. An interactive prototype is included as standard. You own the files and can share them with any development team.
What makes the best mobile app UI design?
Three things consistently separate good mobile UI from average: platform conventions are respected (iOS and Android have distinct patterns that users expect), the design scales correctly across device sizes without breaking, and every interactive element has clear visual feedback. Beyond that, good mobile UI design is invisible — users don't notice it because it just works the way they expected.
