In Ireland in 2026, brochure sites typically land DIY (about €15 to €40/mo), freelancer or small studio (about €800 to €3,000), or agency (€3,000 to €15,000+). Own the Site Year-1 packages start from €1,290: Launch, Standard, and Pro by page band. Design, build, hosting, and care. For Irish SMEs who want a conversion-first brochure site without agency theatre. Full grid: Pricing.
Prices in EUR. VAT is not charged. Lucro Limited is not currently VAT-registered. If that changes, prices will be updated and shown clearly.
These are market patterns, not competitor quotes. Ranges move with scope, content readiness, and whether hosting and care are included.
| Path | Typical Ireland band (2026) | What you usually get | Watch-outs |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIY / template builders | About €15 to €40/month (plus add-ons) | Template site, drag-and-drop, you do the work | Time cost; design/SEO quality varies; lock-in to the platform; extras for forms, remove branding, etc. |
| Freelancer / small studio | About €800 to €3,000 for a brochure site | Custom or semi-custom design + build | Hosting and ongoing care often separate; timelines depend on one person’s diary |
| Specialist SME studio (Own the Site sits here) | Published packages: €1,290 / €1,590 / €2,090 Year 1 | Brochure site + hosting + Year 1 care, clear renewals | Best fit for brochure/conversion sites. Not menu SaaS or heavy e-com |
| Agency | Often €3,000 to €15,000+ | Strategy, brand, multi-person team, bigger process | Higher cost for coordination and breadth; overkill for a sharp 5 to 8 page brochure |
Own the Site renewals (Year 2+ care), for context when you compare year two: Light €490/year (€49/mo), Standard €790/year (€79/mo), Constant €1,290/year (€129/mo). Defaults after Year 1: Launch and Standard renew on Light; Pro renews on Standard. Optional one-off: €1,190 = Launch-sized build + 12 months hosting only (no edit care). Details on Pricing.
Not every “website” is the same product.
| Need | Typical product | Fit for Own the Site? |
|---|---|---|
| Be found, explain services, win enquiries | Brochure / conversion site | Yes. This is the core offer: clear pages, proof, CTAs, hosting + care |
| Online ordering, dietary filters, table booking for hospitality | Menu / hospitality SaaS | No. Purpose-built menu platforms do that better |
| Sell many SKUs, carts, payments, stock | E-commerce | No. Different stack and ongoing ops |
Own the Site is a solo Irish studio building conversion-first brochure sites for Irish SMEs. Not a menu SaaS and not a full e-com agency. If you need a sharp site that gets enquiries and stays looked after, you’re in the right place. If you need carts or live menus, ask for a specialist in that lane.
Launch-sized build (up to 8 content pages) + 12 months hosting only. No edit care. Not the default path for most SMEs who want the site kept current.
You own your domain and content. No hostage hosting. See Pricing for ownership wording and what counts as a page vs a clone.
Use this on every proposal. Freelancer, studio, or agency.
If answers are vague, the price isn’t finished.
Ireland has run SME digital supports (including Grow Digital style vouchers via Local Enterprise Offices). Rules, eligible suppliers, and what counts as “eligible spend” change.
Do not assume any studio, including Own the Site, is voucher-eligible. Check with your Local Enterprise Office (LEO), read the current scheme terms, and verify supplier and cost eligibility before you budget around a grant. Treat grant money as a possible offset, not a guarantee.
Rough bands: DIY builders about €15 to €40/month; freelancer or small-studio brochure sites often about €800 to €3,000; agencies commonly €3,000 to €15,000+. Own the Site publishes Year-1 packages from €1,290: Launch €1,290 (up to 8 pages), Standard €1,590 (up to 10), Pro €2,090 (up to 15). See Pricing. Prices in EUR; VAT is not charged (Lucro Limited is not currently VAT-registered).
Each package includes a conversion-minded brochure site within the page allowance, hosting, security basics, monitoring, and Year-1 care (Light for Launch and Standard; Standard care for Pro). Structured for search. Working enquiry path. Full breakdown: Pricing.
With Own the Site, Launch and Standard are about five days once your content is in. Pro is typically about 5 to 10 days once content is in. Other providers vary widely. Ask what’s in their “go live” clock.
Sometimes, for a holding page. For most SMEs who need trust, clear offers, and enquiries, a purposeful brochure build with someone accountable for care usually pays for itself faster than months of template tinkering.
Brochure sites explain services and capture enquiries. E-commerce sells products with carts and payments. Own the Site focuses on brochure plus care. Not full e-com or hospitality menu SaaS.
Maybe, only if the current scheme says so. Confirm with your LEO and the official rules. Own the Site does not claim voucher eligibility here.
Renew on a care tier: Light €490/year, Standard €790/year, or Constant €1,290/year. Defaults: Launch and Standard renew on Light; Pro renews on Standard. Or choose the €1,190 build + 12 months host-only option up front if you don’t want ongoing edit care. See Pricing.
