How Much Does a Website Cost in Ireland? (2026 Prices)
Quick answer: In 2026, a professional small-business website in Ireland typically costs €700–€3,000 as a one-off project. At Sevenoways, websites start at €999 — mobile-friendly, SEO-optimised, and built on modern technology with no ongoing platform fees. Larger sites with e-commerce or custom features run €3,000–€10,000+.
What you get at each price level
| Budget | What it buys |
|---|---|
| Under €500 | DIY builders (Wix/Squarespace) or template work. Fine for a hobby; usually slow, generic, and weak on Google. |
| €700–€1,500 | A properly built 5–10 page business site: custom design, mobile-first, SEO foundations, contact forms. This is where most Irish SMEs should be. |
| €1,500–€3,000 | Larger sites — more pages, booking systems, copywriting included, advanced local SEO. |
| €3,000+ | E-commerce, membership areas, custom functionality, larger organisations. |
What actually drives the price
- Number of pages and amount of copywriting. Writing good content takes longer than designing around it.
- Functionality. Bookings, payments, member logins — each adds real development time.
- Technology choice. WordPress needs ongoing plugin/security maintenance forever. Modern static and app-framework sites (what we build) cost slightly more up front but almost nothing to maintain.
- Who does the SEO. A site that looks good but can't rank is a brochure nobody opens. Structure, speed and structured data should be built in, not bolted on.
Hidden costs to ask about
- Hosting markups — some agencies charge €30–€50/month for hosting worth €5. Ask what you're paying for.
- Ownership — confirm in writing that you own the domain, the site and the content. (With us, you always do.)
- Maintenance contracts — reasonable for WordPress; largely unnecessary for modern static sites.
- Content — is copywriting included, or will you be handed an empty template?
The honest bottom line
A good website is the only employee that works 24/7 and never calls in sick. Spend enough to get one that loads fast, ranks on Google, and turns visitors into enquiries — and not a euro more on features you don't need.
