Watch-outs

Hidden costs people miss

The build price is rarely the full story. Ask every quote to spell these out.

  1. 01
    Hosting

    Monthly/annual, and who owns the account.

  2. 02
    Domain

    Registration and renewal (usually yours; keep it in your name).

  3. 03
    Care / edits

    Who updates copy, hours, photos after launch? Hourly rates add up.

  4. 04
    Security & updates

    CMS patches, SSL, backups, monitoring.

  5. 05
    Forms & email delivery

    Contact forms that actually reach your inbox (spam filters, transactional email).

  6. 06
    Stock photos / copywriting

    Sometimes “extra” if you don’t supply content.

  7. 07
    SEO setup

    Titles, meta, structure, local pages. Included or billed later?

  8. 08
    Exit cost

    Can you export and move hosting without drama?

A cheaper build that leaves you paying for every tweak often costs more by month eighteen.

Fit

Brochure site vs menu builder vs e-commerce

Not every “website” is the same product.

NeedTypical productFit for Own the Site?
Be found, explain services, win enquiriesBrochure / conversion siteYes. This is the core offer: clear pages, proof, CTAs, hosting + care
Online ordering, dietary filters, table booking for hospitalityMenu / hospitality SaaSNo. Purpose-built menu platforms do that better
Sell many SKUs, carts, payments, stockE-commerceNo. 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. Dublin briefs live on Web design Dublin. Trades: Websites for trades in Ireland. Hospitality: Cafe and restaurant websites. If you need carts or live menus, ask for a specialist in that lane.

Before you buy

Checklist: about 8 questions before you accept a quote

Use this on every proposal. Freelancer, studio, or agency.

  1. 01What’s included in Year 1? Design, build, hosting, care. Line by line.
  2. 02What does Year 2 cost? Fixed renew vs hourly open-ended.
  3. 03Who owns the domain and content? (Should be you.)
  4. 04How do I leave? Export, DNS, and hosting move process.
  5. 05When does the clock start? Content deadlines vs “live in X days.”
  6. 06What counts as a change vs a new project? After launch.
  7. 07Is SEO/structure included, or a separate phase? Titles, schema-friendly pages, local clarity.
  8. 08VAT and payment schedule? Deposit, milestones, and whether the quote includes VAT (Own the Site: prices in EUR, VAT not charged. Lucro Limited is not currently VAT-registered).

If answers are vague, the price isn’t finished.

Grants

Grow Digital / LEO grants. Cautious note

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.

How much does a website cost in Ireland?+

Honest 2026 bands: freelancers from about €800; agencies about €1,500 to €3,500 for a typical brochure site; hosting on its own about €200 to €1,200 a year. This week Own the Site has a flash one-page site for €499, with 12 months hosting included.

What are web design prices in Ireland?+

Website design Ireland prices and web design Ireland prices for a brochure site usually sit in two bands: freelancers from about €800, agencies about €1,500 to €3,500. Prices for websites move with page count and whether hosting and care are included. This week Own the Site has a one-page site for €499 with a year of hosting. Year-1 packages stay from €1,290. VAT is not charged. We do not claim to be the cheapest in Ireland.

Does website design cost in Ireland include SEO?+

Year-1 packages include titles, meta, and structure for search. Standalone SEO retainers and ads are a different product, and we do not publish an SEO Ireland campaign price here. This guide is about website design cost Ireland, not a paid ads or link-building quote.

What is this week’s €499 flash?+

One real page (hours, contact, offer, your photos) plus 12 months hosting for €499. Five spots. Live in about a week once your content is in. After the year you can leave, or stay on Light care at €490/year. No hostage hosting. Secure your spot from the homepage.

What’s included in Own the Site’s Year-1 packages?+

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.

How long does a brochure site take?+

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.

Is a cheap DIY site enough?+

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.

What’s the difference between a brochure site and e-commerce?+

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.

Can I use a Grow Digital or LEO voucher?+

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.

What happens after Year 1?+

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.
