What does a website cost in Derry?

Budget for €1,200 if you need a credible five-page presence in Derry, €2,500 if the site has to generate and track leads, €4,250 if you are competing on content and authority, and €5,000+ if you are selling online. Retainer SEO is separate and starts at €650 monthly.

Why not use a Derry agency?

Two differences. Cost: our focused senior-led process removes unnecessary agency layers without cutting the craft. Ownership: your domain, hosting, analytics and code stay in your name, so you are never renting your own website back.

Will the site rank in Derry?

The site itself is built to rank — correct headings, structured data, sensible URLs and genuine Derry content. Whether it *does* rank depends on how contested your category is in Derry City, Coleraine, Limavady. We tell you which of those two situations you are in before you commit.

What you get either way

Fixed-price scope: You get the Derry quote in writing before a line of code is written, and that number is what you pay. Senior team only: The person who takes your call is the person writing the code. There is no account-manager layer between you and the build. No 12-month lock-in: You own the codebase outright. There is no proprietary builder holding your Derry site hostage. Compounding results: The gains stack: technical fixes land in weeks, content authority in months, and both keep paying afterwards.

Derry's north-west market

Derry serves a north-west catchment that includes Strabane, Limavady and a substantial cross-border trade with Donegal. Businesses here often need to speak to customers on both sides of the border in one site, which affects wording more than technology: prices, delivery areas and contact details need to be unambiguous about what applies where. We handle that with plain statements rather than duplicate pages.

Build options for Derry businesses

The published ladder applies here as elsewhere — €1,200 brochure, €2,500 Growth, €4,250 Authority, €6,000 and up for ecommerce, €650 a month for SEO retainers. Where Derry clients differ is that a cross-border delivery or service radius often justifies spending the difference on clear logistics content rather than on design. We will say so if that is the case for you.

Do prices need to be shown in pounds for a Derry website?

Yes, in almost every case. Derry, or Londonderry depending on the business's own preference, trades in sterling and the website should reflect that without exception, including on anything a Derry customer might see — quotes, product pricing, delivery costs. We are based in the Republic and quote our own services in euro, but the site we build for a Derry client is priced and written for their market in pounds, VAT treated under UK rules rather than Irish ones. Derry's economy leans on a genuine technology and cybersecurity cluster alongside more traditional retail and services around the Foyle, and the tech-sector clients in particular expect a site that reads as current and well built rather than dated, since that is the standard their own customers hold them to.

How does cross-border trade affect a Derry business's website?

A meaningful share of Derry's trade crosses into Donegal and the wider northwest of the Republic, and that raises two practical questions rather than one: which currency to show, and how VAT is handled on anything sold online to customers on the other side of the border. We do not give tax advice, but we do build the site to make the distinction clear rather than blurring it, because a confused checkout or quote page costs sales on both sides. For most Derry service businesses the simple, correct approach is pricing in pounds with a plain note that cross-border customers should confirm VAT treatment directly, which avoids the site making a claim it cannot stand behind.

Can you build a website for a Derry business that works well for customers on both sides of the border?

Yes — Derry’s position means a lot of businesses genuinely serve customers from both Northern Ireland and Donegal, with people crossing regularly between Derry city, Muff, Buncrana and further into County Donegal for shopping, services and work. We design sites that handle that cross-border reality clearly, making sure pricing currency, service areas and contact information are unambiguous so a customer from either side of the border knows exactly what applies to them without confusion. Derry’s economy spans retail and hospitality in the city centre and the Foyleside area, along with manufacturing and tech firms that have grown around the city, so we tailor site structure to whichever of those best fits your business. Mobile performance matters particularly here, since a lot of cross-border custom comes from people searching while out and about rather than sitting at a desktop. We keep site structure straightforward so it’s easy to update seasonal offers or service changes yourself once it’s live. Pricing runs from €1,200 for a straightforward brochure site up to Growth from €2,500 for something with more depth.

How do you handle SEO for a Derry business trying to rank in both UK and Irish search results?

This is one of the more specific challenges we deal with for Derry clients, because Google treats search results differently depending on whether someone is searching from a UK IP address and postcode system or from the Republic, and a business genuinely serving both needs its site structured to be found in each. We make sure your Google Business Profile and site content clearly state your service area across Derry city, into Donegal towns like Buncrana or Muff, and further afield if that’s realistic for your business, rather than leaving Google to guess. Content gets written to reflect both markets naturally rather than awkwardly trying to please two audiences with one generic page, which usually satisfies neither. This is genuinely more complex than standard single-market SEO, so we’re upfront about the extra work involved and scope it properly during setup. Our SEO service starts from €650 a month, and for cross-border businesses we build in specific tracking to see how visibility differs between the two markets, so you know where the work is actually paying off.
