What do Waterford businesses tend to get wrong online?

The most common thing we see in Waterford is a website that was decent seven or eight years ago and has never been touched since. It usually predates mobile traffic being the majority, it is often on a platform nobody remembers the login for, and the phone number in the footer sometimes belongs to a previous owner. The businesses themselves are frequently doing well — the Greenway has changed trade in Dungarvan and along the west of the county, and the city has held its own — but the online presence is a decade behind the business. Our first question in Waterford is almost never about design. It is whether anyone still controls the domain, because that determines whether this is a rebuild or a recovery job.

Is Waterford a competitive county to rank in?

Compared to Dublin or Cork, considerably less so, and that is a genuine opportunity rather than a sales line. In several trades and professional services around Waterford city, Tramore and Dungarvan, the businesses already ranking are doing it on the strength of an old domain rather than good content, which means a well-built, properly structured new site can make real progress within months rather than years. We will not promise a position — nobody honest does — but we will tell you after looking at your specific search terms whether the county looks winnable or crowded for what you do.

What does a Waterford website cost?

Our published prices hold: a fixed quote brochure, a fixed quote growth, a fixed quote and upwards for an authority build, from €6,000 for e-commerce. The Waterford variable is usually recovery rather than design. If the old domain, hosting or email is controlled by a developer nobody can contact, untangling that is real work and we quote it separately and openly rather than burying it. We have never yet failed to recover a domain, but we will tell you at the outset if it looks like it will take weeks rather than days.

What is the first step for a Waterford business?

Tell us the domain name and, if you know it, who registered it. We will check publicly who controls it and where the site is hosted, and come back with a plain assessment: rebuild, recover then rebuild, or leave in place and improve. That check is free and it is the single most useful thing to do before spending anything.

What happens to your old Waterford website?

We do not delete it and we do not let it disappear silently. Every page on the old site that has any history in search gets mapped to the closest equivalent on the new one with a permanent redirect, so the value built up over years follows you across instead of evaporating on launch day. This is the single most common failure we see in rebuilds elsewhere: a handsome new site goes live, the old page addresses stop existing, and enquiries fall for months before anyone connects the two events. The mapping exercise takes a few hours, it is included rather than an extra, and we keep a copy of the old site's content so nothing is lost if a page turns out to have mattered more than the analytics suggested.
