What I do

Web design, SEO and lead generation for Irish businesses

The website is one piece — I care about the whole machine. Plenty of people will build you a website. Far fewer will tell you the truth: a website on its own does nothing. It has to be fast, it has to be found, and it has to turn the people who land on it into enquiries. Here's how I help with each part.

How I help

Web design, SEO and lead generation under one roof

A website on its own does nothing. To bring in customers it has to be fast, it has to be found on Google, and it has to turn visitors into phone calls and enquiries. I handle all three together.

That means a fast, custom-built site, local SEO baked in from day one, and conversion-focused copy that answers "why you?" in seconds — whether you're a trade in Cork, a café in Galway, or a practice in Dublin.

Fixed price agreed up front, no jargon, no upselling, and you own everything at the end. If a simpler, cheaper option would do the job, I'll tell you straight.

Fast, lead-generating websites that earn their keep

Fast, lead-generating websites that earn their keep

A fast, clean site built around one goal: turning visitors into enquiries. No bloated builders, no templates that look like everyone else.

  • Loads in well under a second
  • Reads clearly on a phone (where most of your customers are)
  • Every page points towards getting in touch
Local SEO that gets your business found on Google

Local SEO that gets your business found on Google

Most "web designers" hand over a pretty site and disappear. A site nobody can find is just an expensive business card. I build SEO in from day one.

  • Set up to rank for what people actually search
  • Local pages for the towns and cities you serve
  • Clean, fast code that Google rewards
Conversion-focused design that turns clicks into calls

Conversion-focused design that turns clicks into calls

The website is the simplest component. Making the phone ring is the real work — clear messaging, obvious next steps, and tracking so you know what works.

  • Messaging that answers "why you?" in seconds
  • Forms and call buttons that are impossible to miss
  • Simple tracking so we see what brings in work

No upselling, no padding

I'll tell you what you actually need.

Sometimes that's a small sharp site. Sometimes it's fixing what you already have. Occasionally it means telling you a website isn't the answer at all.

And what I won't do

Sell you things you don't need.

No locking you into hosting you can't leave. No "premium" features that quietly do nothing. No 40-page site when 4 pages would bring in the same work. If the honest answer is that you should spend your budget on something other than a website, I'll say so.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions about what I do

What is included in a website project with you?

Everything you need to launch and rank — design, development, content structure, SEO setup, fast hosting on Cloudflare, contact forms, and Google Analytics. No hidden extras, no surprise invoices. You'll get a fixed price before any work starts.

Do you only build websites, or do you also do SEO and lead generation?

All three together. The website is the foundation, but it's only one piece. I build SEO in from day one (page speed, local signals, structured data, location pages), set up conversion-focused copy that turns visitors into enquiries, and connect it all so you can see what's actually bringing in customers.

How do you charge — is it project-based or hourly?

Project-based with a fixed price agreed upfront. No hourly rates that creep up, no estimates that double. You know exactly what it costs before any work begins. For ongoing work after launch, you pay per piece of work — not a mandatory monthly retainer.

Will you use a template or build it custom?

Built from scratch around your business. No Squarespace, no WordPress templates that look like every other small business site. Custom code on Cloudflare means it loads almost instantly and looks unmistakably yours.

What's the difference between you and a typical Irish web design agency?

Three things: I work with you directly (no account managers, no offshore team), the price is fixed and lower because there's no overhead, and the site is built for speed and ranking from day one — not as an afterthought. You also own everything outright with no lock-in.

Can you redesign my existing website?

Yes. I'll look at what you have honestly first and tell you whether a full rebuild is worth it, or whether targeted improvements would deliver the same outcome for less. Sometimes a redesign is the right call. Sometimes it isn't.

Do you work with specific industries only?

No — I work across most industries: trades, professional services, hospitality, retail, healthcare, manufacturing. The approach is the same regardless: fast, locally-ranked, conversion-focused. The content and design are tailored to your specific industry and audience.
