How much does a website cost in Ireland?

Every website is different — scope, complexity, integrations and ongoing needs all shape the number. At Viral Media we provide clear, fixed-price quotes with no hidden costs. Get in touch for a free consultation and a tailored proposal.

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

Most brochure websites take 4–8 weeks from briefing to launch. E-commerce projects typically take 8–16 weeks depending on the number of products, custom features and integrations required. We provide a clear project timeline at the start of every engagement so you always know where your project stands.

Do you build websites on WordPress, Shopify or other platforms?

We work across all major platforms including custom-coded builds, WordPress, Shopify, and WooCommerce — choosing the right platform for your specific business goals and budget. We are certified Shopify partners and have deep expertise in WordPress development for Irish businesses across all sectors.

Will my new website rank on Google?

Yes — every website we build is SEO-optimised from day one. That means proper site structure, schema markup, meta tags, Core Web Vitals compliance, and an XML sitemap all in place at launch. We also offer ongoing SEO services to continue growing your rankings after launch.

Do you offer website maintenance and support after launch?

Absolutely. We offer website care plans that include hosting, security updates, regular backups, uptime monitoring and priority support. We're a long-term partner for our clients, not just a one-off build agency.

Can I apply for a government grant to fund my new website?

Yes — Irish businesses may be eligible for the Grow Digital Voucher, which provides up to €5,000 towards the cost of a new website or digital upgrade. Viral Media is an approved provider. Contact us and we'll walk you through the application process at no charge.

How We Build

Six Steps From
Brief to Launch

Every build follows the same six steps, on the same timeline, with the same fixed price agreed up front. Here is exactly what happens and when.

1. Scoping

We agree goals, audience, page list and any integrations before a pixel is drawn, then issue a fixed-price quote so there are no surprises later. If you qualify, we prepare the Grow Digital Voucher paperwork at this stage too. Week 1.

2. Design

You see the homepage concept first, because that is where the brand decisions get made. Once it is signed off we design the inner templates around it. Two revision rounds are included, and we would rather use them properly than rush. Weeks 2 to 3.

3. Build

We build on WordPress or Shopify, mobile-first, with every image optimised and compressed before it ships. Forms, booking flows and any third-party integrations are wired up and tested on real devices, not just a desktop browser. Weeks 4 to 6.

4. Content and SEO

Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, schema markup and internal links are written per page rather than bolted on afterwards, and everything is aligned with your Google Business Profile so your local signals match. Week 6.

5. Launch

You review the finished site on staging and sign it off. We then handle DNS, set up 301 redirects from every URL on your old site so rankings carry over, and connect GA4 and Search Console before we go live. Weeks 7 to 8.

6. Care

Managed hosting, plugin and platform updates, daily backups and Core Web Vitals monitoring, plus a monthly check-in so someone is actually watching the site. Ongoing, and you can leave whenever you like. No lock-in.
