The 6 questions to ask any Dublin ecommerce agency

1. Who exactly does my work? (Not the salesperson) 2. Do you migrate from my current platform free or charged? 3. Will my LCP score be under 2.5s on mobile? (Get it in writing) 4. Who owns the code/theme afterwards? (You should) 5. What's the hourly rate for changes after launch? 6. Are you a Shopify Partner or just freelancers?

Trading Online Voucher in Dublin

Dublin's four LEOs (City, South Dublin, Fingal, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown) all approve the Trading Online Voucher — 50% up to €2,500 reimbursed. Most Dublin SMEs miss this. Digital Bridge is an approved supplier.

What Dublin shoppers judge first

Delivery clarity beats design polish. Irish shoppers abandon carts when the delivery cost, cut-off time and delivery window only appear at checkout, and a Dublin buyer is often choosing between you and a UK seller whose post-Brexit charges are unclear. State the shipping cost on the product page, publish the dispatch cut-off, and say plainly whether goods ship from within Ireland. That one block of text is usually worth more conversions than a redesign.

How much does ecommerce web design cost in Dublin?

Dublin agency rates run €3,500–€15,000 for sub-300-product stores in 2026. Most Dublin SMEs need €3,000–€6,000. Remote Irish agencies typically charge 30% less for the same work.

Can I get the Trading Online Voucher in Dublin?

Yes — all four Dublin LEOs (Dublin City, South Dublin, Fingal, DLR) approve it. 50% reimbursed up to €2,500. Digital Bridge is an approved supplier.

Should I use a Dublin agency or remote Irish agency?

Remote Irish agencies (Wexford, Cork, Galway) typically charge 25–35% less for identical scope. Pick by portfolio, not postcode.

What's a fair hourly rate for a Dublin web designer in 2026?

€70–€110/hour for experienced Dublin freelancers, €110–€180/hour at agencies. Project-based pricing usually works out better for SMEs.

How long does a Dublin ecommerce build take?

Shopify basic: 2–3 weeks. Shopify custom: 6–10 weeks. WooCommerce: 4–8 weeks. Anyone quoting 'live in 48 hours' is selling a template, not a real build.

Why Digital Bridge is the better long-run choice for Irish SMEs

Most Irish small businesses don't lose money on the website itself — they lose it on the three years after. The DIY platform that nickel-and-dimes you. The freelancer who disappears. The big agency that quotes a five-figure fee and forgets you exist by month three. We built Digital Bridge to remove every one of those traps. Our setup + optional retainer model beats a one-off agency build by year two — because your site keeps earning rankings, leads and AI citations long after the invoice is paid. Website, SEO, content, automation, AI agents — all under one roof. No "that's not in scope" emails. The same people who built your site keep it ranking and converting. Your domain, your code, your content, your data — all yours. No platform lock-in, no exit fees. Most clients stay because it works, not because they're stuck. No hard sell. If a DIY builder or another agency is genuinely the right fit, we'll say so on the call.
