Free website review for Irish businesses — no obligation, no sales pitch.
We design, build and rank websites for trades, service and hospitality businesses across Ireland — the kind that turn a Google search into a phone call, and a phone call into a job worth quoting for.

What we do
We handle the whole thing — design, build, hosting and the Google work that puts you in front of people already looking for what you do.
Search engine optimisation
SEO simply means that when someone near you types what you do into Google, you are one of the first businesses they find. Unlike ads, it keeps working long after you stop paying for it.
We will never promise page one in 30 days. Local map rankings usually move within 4–8 weeks; competitive organic rankings take 3–6 months to build properly.
Appear on the first page for the services you want to sell, in the towns you want to work in. Three quarters of people never scroll past the first page of results.
Search traffic is people actively looking to buy right now. They are not browsing — they have a job that needs doing and they are choosing who to ring.
Rank across your whole service area, not just your home town, with dedicated pages for every county and town you cover.
Local map results put a call button directly in the search results. For most trades, that button produces more calls than the website itself.
Paid traffic stops the day you stop paying. Rankings keep producing enquiries for years, which means your cost per lead falls every month.
Google Business Profile
Your Google Business Profile is the panel that appears beside the search results and pins you on Google Maps. For most local businesses it drives more phone calls than the website itself — yet it is almost always left half-finished.
Already have a profile? We will audit it free of charge and tell you exactly what is holding it back — categories, service areas, photos, hours and reviews. No obligation to work with us.
Get pinned on Maps so anyone searching nearby — or driving through — finds you before your competitors.
A simple system that asks every happy customer for a review, plus replies written for you so the profile stays active.
A fully completed, active profile is one of the strongest signals Google uses to decide who appears in the local three-pack.
Photos, hours, services, pricing and reviews all visible before a customer clicks anything. That is what makes them choose you.
The call button sits directly in the search results. One tap, no website visit needed, no friction at all.
A well-optimised profile sends a steady stream of qualified local traffic to your site, entirely free of charge.
How it works
No drawn-out discovery phases or hundred-page proposals. Six clear steps, a fixed price agreed before we start, and a launch date you can plan around.
We talk about the work you want more of, the jobs you would rather stop quoting for, and where your enquiries come from today. No jargon, no pitch deck — just enough to know whether we can help.
We research what your customers actually search for in your county, map every page to a specific search, and plan the route from first click to phone call.
You see your actual site — real copy, your own photography, on desktop and mobile. We refine it together before a single line of code is written.
We hand-build the site for speed, wire up your forms and call tracking, and lay the technical SEO groundwork so Google understands exactly what you do and where.
We migrate your domain and email with no downtime, submit the site to Google, optimise your Google Business Profile, and walk you through editing it yourself.
Launch day is the starting line. We track calls and forms, keep the site fast and secure, and build your rankings month after month.
30 minutes, no pitch deck, no obligation.
Industries we serve
A plumber's site and a dental practice's site do completely different jobs. We start from what your customers actually type into Google, and what they need to see before they get in touch.

Demo websites
Rather than a gallery of other people's logos, we build full working demo sites for individual industries — each on its own subdomain, each one you can click through end to end.
Live demo A quote-first site for a solar installer, built around an SEAI grant explainer and a savings estimator that books surveys.
Live demo An editorial site for a design-and-build contractor, where the portfolio, a cost estimator and a live progress tracker do the selling before the first call.
Live demo An emergency-first layout for a plumbing firm — sub-second load, permanent call bar and transparent call-out charges.
9 industry demos in the works. New ones go live on their own subdomain — solar.webco.ie, builder.webco.ie and more.

Most of our work comes from referrals, which only happens when the boring things are done properly.
The number one reason websites sit half-finished is that the business owner was handed a blank document. We research your trade, your county and your competitors, then write the whole site. You review it — you never have to start it.
100% of copy written in-house
Every layout decision answers one question: does this make someone more likely to ring you? Trust signals go above the fold, phone numbers stay in reach, and forms ask only for what you actually need to quote.
Call button in reach on every screen
You get a written scope and a fixed figure before any work begins. If we underestimate something, that is our problem, not an extra line on your invoice. No hourly billing, no scope creep, no awkward conversations.
Written scope and figure before day one
We hand-build sites rather than stacking plugins on a theme. The difference shows on a phone in a rural area with two bars of signal — the exact moment your customer decides whether to wait or go back to Google.
98/100 typical PageSpeed score
Site structure, page speed, schema markup and Google Business Profile setup are part of every build. You start with the technical foundations right, so any SEO work later compounds instead of fixing our mistakes.
Technical SEO included as standard
Your domain is registered in your business name and your content stays yours, on every plan. Buy the build outright and the source code is yours too, handed over in writing at launch. We have rescued too many businesses locked out of their own domain by a developer who moved on.
Domain in your name on every plan
No ticket queue, no account manager reading from a script. You deal with the people who designed and built your site, by phone or WhatsApp, for as long as you are a client.
Same-day response, Mon–Fri
If your project needs something outside what we do, we will say so and point you somewhere better. We would rather lose a job than deliver something we cannot stand over.
Honest scoping from the first call
Pricing
You should not have to sit through a sales call to find out what a website costs. Here is what our clients typically invest — and the exact figure is agreed in writing before we start.
Sole traders and new businesses
Everything a one- or two-person operation needs to look established and start taking enquiries online.
Established local businesses
A larger site built to rank across your county, with the local SEO work that turns rankings into ringing phones.
Multi-branch and larger operations
For businesses running multiple locations, teams or trades who need the website to carry real commercial weight.
The website is yours outright. You get the full source code, every login and the files, handed over in writing at launch. Take it anywhere you like, whenever you like.
A lower entry price, with hosting, updates and support included for as long as you stay. We keep and maintain the source code, so it is not transferred to you — cancel any time and the site simply comes down.
Either way, your domain is registered in your business name and your content and photographs remain yours.
Take any of these on their own — no rebuild required.
Hosting, backups, security, updates and monthly content changes.
Map pack rankings, Google Business Profile management and location pages.
How we build
We would rather show you the standard than ask you to take our word for it. Every line below is either a target we measure on each build, or something you can open and test yourself in the next two minutes.
No page builder, no bought theme, no plugin stack holding the layout together. Every page is written by hand, which is the only way to keep a site fast three years after launch.
0 page-builder plugins
Largest Contentful Paint under 1.5 seconds on a mid-range phone over 4G, and no build ships if it misses. Speed is a decision made during the build, never a fix bolted on afterwards.
<1.5s LCP on 4G
Semantic headings, crawlable internal links, schema.org on every template, an XML sitemap and Open Graph tags — in place before launch rather than sold back to you six months later.
100% pages with schema
WCAG 2.2 AA colour contrast, real focus states, keyboard-operable menus and forms, and motion that respects prefers-reduced-motion. Included on every build, never quoted as an extra.
AA WCAG 2.2 target
Your domain is registered in your business name and documented at launch. Buy the build outright and the source code is handed over in writing, so nobody can hold your website hostage.
Yours domain and content
A written scope and a fixed figure before any work starts. If something takes longer than we estimated, that is our problem — it does not appear as a line on your invoice.
Fixed quoted before we start
9 complete demo sites are live right now. Open any of them, run a PageSpeed test on it, tab through it with a keyboard. Everything above is checkable in about two minutes.
FAQs
If the answer you need is not here, ring us — you will get a straight answer, not a sales call.
You choose how to pay for the same site. Buy it outright from €495 for Launch, €1,495 for Growth or €2,995 for Premium — or spread it monthly from €59, €149 or €299 with hosting, updates and support included. We quote a fixed price before any work starts, so the figure you agree is the figure you are invoiced.
It comes down to cash flow and ownership. Paying once costs less overall and the website — source code and all — becomes yours outright at launch, to host wherever you like. Paying monthly gets you live for a fraction of the upfront cost with hosting, updates and support bundled in, but the source code stays with us and the site comes down if you cancel. Either way your domain is in your own name and your content stays yours. You can switch from monthly to a one-off purchase whenever you want.
On a monthly plan everything is included in the one figure — hosting, security, backups, updates and support. On a one-off build the only essentials are hosting and maintenance from €45 a month, plus your domain renewal at around €25 a year. There are no hidden licence fees either way, because we do not build on paid themes or plugins.
No. Care plans and SEO retainers are month to month, and you can cancel with 30 days notice. We would rather keep clients because the work is producing results than because they signed a twelve-month agreement.
Standard terms are 50% to begin and 50% on launch. For larger projects we can spread payments across the project timeline. Just raise it on the discovery call and we will work something out.
A seven-page site typically takes one to two weeks from the day we have your content and photos. Larger sites with location and service pages run two to three weeks. The single biggest delay is usually waiting on photographs, so we start that conversation on day one.
A 30-minute call, access to your existing domain and hosting if you have them, and photos of your work. We write all the copy ourselves — you will never be handed a blank document and asked to fill it in. You then review two rounds of revisions before we build.
Yes. We hand over a simple editor for text, photos and prices, along with a recorded walkthrough for your own reference. If you would rather not touch it at all, monthly content changes are included in every care plan — send us a WhatsApp and we will make the change.
We work with businesses in every county in Ireland. Most of our projects run entirely over video calls, WhatsApp and email, which keeps costs down for everyone. If you would prefer to meet in person and you are within reach of Cork, that is no problem at all.
Local map pack improvements often show within four to eight weeks, because Google Business Profile work takes effect quickly. Competitive organic rankings typically take three to six months to move meaningfully, and nine to twelve months to mature. Anyone promising page one in 30 days is either targeting terms nobody searches for or is not being straight with you.
They do different jobs. Ads buy you visibility today and stop the moment you stop paying. SEO builds an asset that keeps producing enquiries for years, but it takes months to build. Most of our clients run ads while SEO matures, then reduce ad spend as organic enquiries take over. We will tell you honestly which makes more sense for your situation.
For a local business, it is the highest-return hour you will spend online. It is what puts you on Google Maps and in the three-result panel at the top of local searches — above every organic result. For many of our trades clients it generates more calls than the website itself. We set it up, verify it and keep it active.
Every month, in plain English. You get rankings for your target searches, how many people called or filled in a form, where those enquiries came from, and what we did that month. No 40-page PDF of charts nobody reads.
Usually not. We hand-build sites with modern static tooling, which makes them dramatically faster, effectively immune to the plugin vulnerabilities that plague WordPress, and far cheaper to host. If your business genuinely needs WordPress — for example, an existing shop or booking system — we will build it properly on WordPress and tell you why.
The domain is always yours — registered in your business name, with the login handed to you at launch. So are your content and photographs. The website itself depends on how you pay: buy it outright and the source code is yours at handover, to host anywhere you like. On a monthly plan the source code stays with us and you licence the site for as long as you subscribe. We say this plainly because we have taken on far too many clients who could not access their own domain after a previous developer registered it to themselves. That will never happen here.
They are protected. We map every existing page to its new equivalent and put permanent redirects in place before launch, so the authority you have built up carries across. In most rebuilds rankings improve within weeks, because the new site is considerably faster and better structured.
Yes. Sites are hosted in the EU, forms use explicit consent, and we provide a privacy policy and a cookie banner that only loads tracking after consent. We keep analytics configured so you get the data you need without collecting more personal information than necessary.
