If your Cork business is still running on a website from 2016, you are handing customers to competitors every week. Our web design Cork service rebuilds tired sites into fast, modern WordPress and Shopify builds that turn visitors into calls, bookings and orders — quoted fixed in euros before we start.
We do not do 40-page proposals or discovery workshops that cost more than the website. You tell us what the site must do for your Cork business, we quote a fixed euro price, and we build it — usually live within five weeks for a standard WordPress site.
Cork is competitive enough without your website working against you. From pharma plants to English Market food traders, the firms winning work are the ones whose sites load fast, read clearly on a phone and make the next step obvious. That is a design problem with a measurable answer — not a branding exercise.
A word on DIY builders: they are fine for a hobby, but Cork businesses competing for real revenue outgrow them fast — slow pages, template sameness, and SEO ceilings you cannot fix. Our WordPress and Shopify builds give you ownership of proper, fast code without the enterprise price tag.
Cork’s economy has its own shape — pharma plants alongside English Market food traders — and a generic template never quite fits either. We tailor each Cork build around how your customers actually buy: the questions they ask, the proof they need, and the moment they decide to contact you.
Every Cork project below is designed from scratch around your content and customers — never a bought theme with your logo dropped in. Here is what each build includes. We build on proven open platforms — wordpress.org and shopify.com — customised properly, never page-builder bloat.
For pharma plants and English Market food traders alike, WordPress remains the sensible choice: total ownership, no monthly platform tax, and an editing experience your Cork staff learn in an afternoon. We harden security, automate backups and keep plugins minimal — the opposite of the fragile WordPress horror stories.
Selling online from Cork? We build Shopify stores that handle the unglamorous parts properly: Irish shipping rules and VAT, payment setup, product feeds and a checkout tuned to reduce abandonment. Design is bespoke to your brand — your store will not look like every other Shopify site.
A redesign is surgery, not a fresh coat of paint: we audit your current Cork site first — analytics, speed, search visibility — then rebuild with the data, not opinions. Most Cork redesigns pay for themselves within a year purely through recovered enquiries.
Running ads or launching something new in Cork? A focused landing page converts far better than sending paid traffic to your homepage. We build single-purpose pages with one message, one offer and one action — then A/B test the headline and form until the numbers move.
No “prices start from” games. These are the brackets real Cork projects land in, and we will tell you which one fits your brief on the first call.
Most pharma plants and professional firms in Cork land here: €1,950–€3,500 for a proper custom WordPress build — design, copywriting polish, on-page SEO basics and training. Fixed quote, no hourly meter running.
€3,500–€9,000 depending on catalogue size and integrations. Full Shopify store for Cork retailers: bespoke theme, Irish shipping and VAT setup, payments, product migration and staff training. Live in 6–10 weeks. Ongoing Shopify fees are separate and we state them upfront.
Redesign pricing for Cork sites runs €2,500–€6,000 based on size and how much content migrates. Includes the unsexy essentials: redirect maps, metadata carried over, and Search Console monitoring after launch.
Copywriting, photography, extra languages and complex booking logic move a Cork quote — our postcode does not. Being Manchester-based keeps our overheads below Dublin agency rates, and that saving is in your quote, not our margin. If a feature doubles the price, we will say so and suggest the cheaper route.
Here is our pitch without the gloss: a Manchester team means Cork prices without the capital-city markup. You get senior designers and developers — the people who actually build your site — for less than a Cork agency charges for account managers to relay messages to juniors.
You stay in control throughout: every Cork project lives on a staging URL from week one, feedback rounds are built into the schedule, and nothing goes live until you sign it off. We have launched sites this way for five years — the process is boring, which is exactly why it works.
After launch we do not vanish. Every Cork site includes 30 days of post-launch support while you settle in, and optional care plans from €95/month cover updates, backups, security monitoring and small content changes. Many clients stay for years; some never need us again after training. Both are fine.
Straight answers to what Cork businesses ask us most.
A brochure WordPress site for a Cork business typically costs €1,950–€3,500; a Shopify store €3,500–€9,000; a focused landing page from €950. We quote a fixed euro price in writing before starting — the number we agree is the number you pay, and it only changes if you change the brief.
The honest split for Cork businesses: ecommerce-first means Shopify; content and lead-generation means WordPress. Anyone telling you one platform does everything brilliantly is selling you something. We will recommend the cheaper option when it fits — even though it means a smaller invoice for us.
A standard WordPress site takes 3–5 weeks from signed brief to launch; a Shopify store 6–10 weeks depending on catalogue size and integrations. The biggest cause of delay is content — we give you a clear checklist on day one and chase politely but relentlessly so your Cork project does not stall.
Absolutely. Our Cork clients get the same process as local ones — structured calls, visible progress on staging, and agreed travel for workshops that benefit from being in the room. Five years of Irish projects has taught us remote works fine when communication is disciplined.
We build every Cork site SEO-ready: fast loading, clean code, proper heading structure, schema markup and metadata done right. That gives Google everything it needs — but rankings also need content and authority built over time, which is ongoing SEO work. Anyone guaranteeing you position one is lying; we will not.
