What does a basic small business website cost in Ireland?

A brochure website — 4–6 pages, mobile responsive, contact form, basic SEO setup — sits between €1,200 and €2,000 in 2026. Digital Bridge's brochure tier starts at €1,200 and includes: Typical Irish web agencies charge €2,500–€2,500 for the same scope.

  • Up to 6 pages built on a custom React/Vite stack (faster than WordPress).
  • Mobile-first responsive design.
  • Lead-capture form connected to email.
  • Google Analytics, sitemap, schema markup.
  • 12 months hosting included.

What about a lead-generation website?

A lead-gen site is purpose-built to convert traffic — multi-step forms, click-to-call buttons, live chat, integrated CRM, GA4 conversion tracking, plus a content hub for SEO. Expect €2,500–€5,000 in Ireland. Digital Bridge Growth tier: from €4,500 with conversion tracking, CRM integration, and 8–12 SEO landing pages.

What does an authority or "premium brochure" site cost in Ireland?

An authority site adds depth — case studies, team bios with Person schema, a blog/insights hub, multi-language support, advanced animations, custom illustrations. Most Irish agencies quote €5,000–€10,000. Digital Bridge Authority tier: from €4,250, up to €9,500 depending on word count and design scope.

How much does an e-commerce website cost in Ireland?

Real e-commerce — product catalogue, secure checkout, Stripe/Revolut integration, shipping rules, VAT handling, customer accounts — starts at €6,000 and climbs to €25,000+ for marketplaces or custom checkout flows. In our experience, a typical Irish SME launching their first online store should budget €6,000–€8,000 for the build and another €2,500–€3,000/year for hosting, payment fees and ongoing maintenance.

Why do Irish website quotes vary so wildly?

Three reasons: 1. Discovery overhead — many agencies bill 20–40 hours of strategy and wireframing before a line of code is written. 2. Platform — a custom React build is faster, more secure and more flexible than WordPress, but only if the agency genuinely builds custom. 3. Day rate — Dublin agency day rates sit at €600–€1,200. A 4-week project at €800/day = €16,000 in labour alone. Digital Bridge keeps day rates lower by being fully remote, AI-augmented, and based in Gorey, Co. Wexford — not Dublin city centre.

Hidden costs to watch for in Irish website quotes

  • Year-two hosting fees — should be €120–€400, not €1,000+.
  • "Maintenance retainers" — fine if scoped (monthly hours, response SLA), red flag if vague.
  • Content writing — many quotes exclude copy, then bill €150–€300 per page later.
  • Domain ownership — make sure the .ie or .com is in your Registrar account, not the agency's.
  • Source code ownership — ask in writing who owns the GitHub repo on launch.

How much does a website cost in Ireland?

A professional small-business website in Ireland in 2026 costs between €1,200 and €25,000 depending on scope: €1,200–€2,500 for brochure sites, €2,500–€6,000 for lead-gen builds, €4,250–€10,000 for authority sites, and €6,000+ for real e-commerce.

How much should a website cost to build in Ireland?

For a typical Irish SME with under 10 staff, a fair market price is €1,200–€3,000 for a brochure or lead-gen site and €6,000–€8,000 for a first e-commerce store. Anything materially above that needs a clearly justified scope — usually custom integrations, multilingual or complex booking flows.

Can I get a website for free in Ireland?

Free builders like Wix or Squarespace start at €0 but lock you into monthly subscriptions (€16–€40/mo) and limit SEO control. A €1,200 custom build is usually cheaper over 3 years and ranks better. Truly 'free' websites do not exist commercially in Ireland.

How long does it take to build a website in Ireland?

Brochure sites: 2–3 weeks. Lead-gen builds: 3–5 weeks. Authority sites: 5–8 weeks. E-commerce: 6–12 weeks. Digital Bridge can compress these by roughly 30% using AI-augmented design and content workflows.

Do I need to pay monthly for my Irish website?

Hosting and domain renewal cost roughly €120–€400/year. Optional SEO retainers start at €650/month. You do not need to pay a monthly fee for the website itself once it's built — beware Irish agencies that try to lock you into one.

Will the LEO grant cover my full website cost?

It covers 50% up to €2,500. A €5,000 project costs you €2,500 out of pocket. Smaller projects under €5,000 are still eligible — the grant simply tops out at 50% of the invoice. See our LEO guide for the full process.
