    Dublin ecommerce web design in 2026 ranges from €2,000 (lean Shopify setup) to €25,000+ (custom Shopify Plus / headless build). 90% of Dublin SMEs need something between €3,000 and €6,000. Anything over €10k for a sub-300-product store is usually overpriced.

    What does ecommerce web design cost in Dublin?

    Real 2026 ranges across 25 Dublin builds:

    Dublin city-centre agencies charge ~30% more than the same work done remotely by an Irish agency in Wexford, Cork or Galway.

    • Premium Shopify theme customised to your brand
    • Up to 30 products loaded with AI-written descriptions
    • Stripe + Shopify Payments + Revolut at checkout

    If you're not buying the bullets in the second box, you're paying for office rent in Grand Canal Dock.

    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?
