What does a basic small business website cost in Ireland?
A brochure website provides your business information and a way for customers to enquire. Digital Bridge website plans start from €599; the agreed scope determines your final price. Digital Bridge's brochure tier starts at €599 and includes: Typical Irish web agencies charge €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.
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.
What's the most affordable way to get a quality website in Ireland?
If you qualify, the LEO Grow Digital Voucher can co-fund eligible new off-the-shelf software, configuration and training. It does not cover bespoke website development, but it can reduce the net cost of the eligible software portion of a Digital Bridge project.
How much does a website cost in Ireland?
A professional small-business website in Ireland in 2026 costs between €599 and €25,000 depending on scope: €599–€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?
Digital Bridge website plans start from €599 for a Brochure website. Lead-generation sites, online shops and booking systems need different scopes. Compare the included pages and features, full ownership and running costs rather than assuming every website has the same price.
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 €599 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 /year. Optional SEO retainers charge a monthly subscription fee. 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?
No. The current Grow Digital Voucher covers eligible new off-the-shelf software, configuration and training, not bespoke website development. It can reduce the net cost of the eligible software portion of a project, but the design and build remain a business cost. See our LEO guide for the full process.
