Why do Irish agencies quote so much more?

In our experience, three things drive Irish quotes above €3,000 when not needed:

1. Per-page billing at €300/page — AI-assisted studios charge flat project fees instead.
2. Subscription lock-in wrapping in hosting + unused support.
3. Reseller markup — many quote-houses outsource the actual build.

What should be included in a €995–€1,500 Irish website?

• 5–10 custom-designed pages
• Mobile-first responsive design (Lighthouse 90+)
• Local SEO foundation (schema, GBP integration, county pages)
• Contact form with email + WhatsApp routing
• One year of hosting and SSL
• Basic AI integration (see chatbot guide)
• Training so you can edit copy yourself

Can I get a grant for a website in Ireland?

Yes — the Trading Online Voucher funds 50% up to €2,500. A €1,995 site becomes €997 out of pocket. Full walkthrough in The Trading Online Voucher 2026 Guide.

What about Wix, Squarespace and freelancers?

• Wix/Squarespace — fine for testing, painful past year one. See Digital Bridge vs Wix and vs Squarespace.
• Freelancers — €500–€2,500, but often disappear post-launch. See vs Freelancer.

Real example: Wexford bakery, May 2026

• Dublin agency quote: €4,200 + €120/mo
• Wix freelancer: €650 (would need rebuilding within 12 months)
• Digital Bridge: €1,495 one-time → €747 after Trading Online Voucher

Result: live in 18 days, ranking #4 for "bakery Gorey" within 6 weeks.
