Website Development
Feeling like your business needs to be online, but overwhelmed by all the technical details? You’re in the right place. I specialise in creating beautiful, effective websites for any businesses. Let’s work together to build your online home – a place where customers can find you, learn about what you do, and get in touch.
How I Work
1. We Chat (The Discovery Phase):
This is where we start. We'll have a friendly chat about your business, what makes it unique, and what you want to achieve with your new website. We'll talk about the look and feel you're going for, and the kind of features you'll need. Don't worry if you're not sure about the technical stuff – that's what I'm here for! My goal is to understand your vision so I can bring it to life
2. Design & Build (Where the Magic Happens):
After our chat, I'll get to work designing and building your website. I'll create a modern, professional design that looks great on all devices, from desktop computers to mobile phones. I'll keep you updated on my progress, so you can see how it's all coming together.
3. Review & Launch (The Final Check):
Once the design and build are complete, I'll hand it over to you for a final review. You can take your time to click through every page and make sure you're happy with everything. Once you give me the green light, I'll take care of all the technical steps to get your website live on the internet for the world to see!
What You Get
Custom Website Design
Your business is unique, and your website should be too. I'll create a professional design that matches your brand and makes you stand out from the crowd.
Mobile Responsive Layout
Your website will look and work perfectly on all devices, including smartphones and tablets. This is crucial as most people browse the internet on their phones.
Contact & Booking Forms
I'll add easy-to-use forms so your customers can get in touch with you or book your services directly from your website, saving you time and effort.
Google Maps & Social Media
I’ll put your business on the map (literally!) with an integrated Google Map and connect your website to your social media pages like Facebook or Instagram.
Basic SEO & Google Business Setup
I'll set up the basics of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) to help customers find your business when they search on Google. This includes setting up your free Google Business Profile.
Full Control and Training
It's your website, so you should have control. I'll give you a simple login and a quick training session to show you how to update text or add photos yourself, anytime you want.
Websites I've Built That Drive Results
Every website I build is crafted with a single goal in mind: your success. I work closely with businesses to create professional, functional, and visually stunning websites that establish a strong and credible online presence. Take a look at some of the brands I’ve helped build.
Solve Fire Safety – A professional service website created to clearly present fire safety solutions, build trust, and encourage customer inquiries. Focused on clean layout, easy navigation, and showcasing all services on one page for fast access.
Work Wear Carrick – An online shop developed for a local workwear supplier, allowing customers to browse and order products with ease. Designed for clear product presentation, secure shopping experience, and local business feel.
MilestoneDjs – A stylish and energetic website made to highlight DJ services, client testimonials, and past event highlights. Built to attract bookings, showcase personality, and offer a smooth browsing experience across devices.
Why Do You Need a Website?
Not sure if a website is worth it? Here are the real-world benefits for your business.
- Be Open 24/7 Your website works for you even when you’re not. It’s like having a digital storefront that’s always open, allowing customers to find information and contact you at their convenience.
- Reach More Local Customers Today, when people need a local service or product, their first stop is Google. Having a website means they can find you there, instead of your competition.
- Build Trust and Credibility A professional website shows that you are a legitimate and serious business. It’s often the first impression a customer has, and a good website builds instant trust.
- Showcase Your Work A website is your personal gallery. You can display your best work, share photos of your products, and feature testimonials from happy customers to convince new ones.
Frequent Asked Questions
How long will it take to build my website?
My goal is to get your new website up and running as efficiently as possible without compromising on quality. A typical timeline is:
- Business / Service Website: Approximately 2-3 weeks from start to finish.
- E-commerce Website: Approximately 3-4 weeks, as these sites are more complex.
This timeline depends on how quickly you can provide me with the necessary content (text, images, etc.). The entire process is collaborative, and I'll keep you updated every step of the way, from the initial design concepts to the final launch.
What do you need from me to get started?
To begin, I'll need a good understanding of your business and your vision. It's helpful if you can gather the following:
- Content: The text for your main pages (e.g., Home, About Us, descriptions of your Services or Products). Don't worry if it's not perfect; we can refine it together.
- Images & Logo: Your business logo and any photos you want to feature. If you don't have professional photos, I can help source high-quality stock images.
- Inspiration: A few examples of websites you like the look of. This helps me understand the style you're going for.
The most important thing is to get started. I can guide you through the content gathering process, so don't let it hold you back!
Will I be able to update the website myself?
Absolutely! I believe you should have control over your own website. I build all my sites on WordPress, a very user-friendly system.
Once the website is live, I'll provide you with a personal training session to show you how to:
- Update text and images.
- Add new blog posts.
- Add or change products (for e-commerce sites).
Think of it like using Microsoft Word – if you can do that, you can manage your website. You won't need to call me for every small change, saving you time and money.
Are there any ongoing costs?
Yes, there are two small, essential ongoing costs for any website on the internet. It's important to be aware of these, though they are not paid to me.
- Domain Name: This is your website address (e.g.,
www.yourbusiness.ie). This is usually paid annually to a domain registrar and costs around €20−€30 per year. - Website Hosting: This is like paying rent for the space on the internet where your website's files are stored so people can access it. Hosting is also typically paid annually and can range from €100−€150 per year for reliable, secure hosting.
I handle the complete setup of your domain and hosting as part of my service. I can also offer an optional Website Care Plan for total peace of mind, which includes regular security checks, software updates, and backups. We can discuss this if it's something you're interested in.
