How much does a website cost for a small business in Ireland?

How much does a website cost for a small business in Ireland?

In short

Our small business websites in Ireland cost €1,800 or €5,500. Here's what drives the price, and what the Trading Online Voucher covers.

A small business website in Ireland costs €1,800 with us for a one-page brochure site, or €5,500 for a bespoke lead generation site of up to 20 pages. You can spread either one over 12 months instead, at €179 or €599 a month. Both go live in 5 days on average, and what you need the site to do decides which one is right for you.

What decides the price of a small business website?

You're paying for three things: how many pages the site has, what it has to do, and how much of the work is done for you. A one-page site that tells people who you are, what you offer and how to reach you is a smaller job than a 20-page site with its own page for every service, written to win enquiries from search. More pages means more writing, more design and more testing, and the price follows.

Features add the rest. Booking, AI chat, a quote calculator, online payments and email automation each change what has to be built and checked before launch. With us, every one of them is optional, and the ones you choose are priced into your quote, so you never pay for a feature you won't use. Whoever you get quotes from, ask the same questions: who writes the words, how many rounds of changes are included, how long the build takes and what you pay once the site is live. Two quotes only compare fairly when the answers match.

What does a website cost with DLR Media in Ireland?

We build two kinds of website for Irish businesses. The brochure site is one page for €1,800, or €179 a month over 12 months. It's the right choice when people already know your name and you need them to find a professional site that makes it easy to call or email you. It does that one job well.

The bespoke lead generation site has up to 20 pages for €5,500, or €599 a month. Each service gets its own page, so Google has something specific to show for each search, and every page leads the visitor towards an enquiry. If you want new customers to find you through search, rather than only look you up after a recommendation, this is the site to choose. You'll find both on our website design page for Irish businesses.

Getting your price is simple. You fill in a short price request form, and we send your exact price in writing within one working day. The features you choose are in that price, so you know the full cost before any work starts.

How do we keep the price down?

We use AI throughout research, drafting, design and build, and our team reviews everything before it reaches you. We've signed the Responsible AI Use Campaign's 10 principles. The result is that you get far more for your money: a bespoke site of up to 20 pages, written and designed for your business, live in 5 days on average.

Speed only matters if the site is right, which is why a person on our team checks every page. We write every word, design it and build it, so you get a finished website rather than a template to fill in yourself.

Can the Trading Online Voucher pay for your website?

It can pay for part of a website that lets you trade online, but not for a brochure site. The Trading Online Voucher runs through the Local Enterprise Offices, and LEO Monaghan's scheme page (checked in October 2026) sets out the terms. The voucher is worth up to €2,500, with "co-funding of 50% from the business". To qualify, you need 10 or fewer employees, turnover under €2m and at least 6 months of trading, and your business must be in the area of the Local Enterprise Office you apply to.

What it pays for decides whether it helps you. The voucher covers work such as developing or upgrading an e-commerce website and adding online payments or booking systems. Brochure websites are ineligible, your own staff's time isn't an eligible cost, and you need three quotes for the work. The page is clear on timing: "Voucher approval must be gained prior to incurring any expense." So our one-page brochure site doesn't qualify. Adding online booking or payments is on the list of eligible work, which makes a site with those features worth raising with your Local Enterprise Office. We don't build online shops, so the e-commerce side of the scheme isn't something we quote for. Your Local Enterprise Office makes the decision, so read its own page and get approval before anything is built. We'll send you a written quote to include in your application.

Do you need a .ie domain?

Not every business can have a .ie address, because the registry checks who is applying. The .ie registry's guide to registering a domain (updated in September 2025) says "every application for a .ie domain name is checked to make sure that the applicant has a real connection with Ireland." One document proves it, and for a business that can be its CRO or RBN number.

Register the domain in your business's name and keep the login details yourself. Designs and builders can change over the years, but your address stays on your invoices, emails and business cards, so it should always belong to you.

Is a website worth the money for an Irish small business?

Look at what Irish firms already do online. The CSO's Information Society Statistics for enterprises, published in February 2026, found that in 2025, 67% of enterprises had information about goods, services or prices on their website and 29% had online ordering, reservation or booking. More than one in three (35%) small enterprises with 10 to 49 people employed had internet sales. The survey covers enterprises with 10 or more persons engaged, so sole traders aren't in these figures, but they show how far selling online has spread among Irish firms.

A website earns its cost when it brings in work. That means a page for each thing you sell, a clear way to get in touch and a reason for Google to show you. Once it's live, SEO builds the free traffic you earn from search over time, and Google Ads puts you in front of people searching for what you sell from the day your campaigns start.

Should you pay upfront, monthly or not at all?

Paying upfront means one payment of €1,800 or €5,500 for the build. Paying monthly spreads the same website over 12 months at €179 or €599 a month, which keeps cash in your business while the site starts bringing in enquiries. The website is the same either way.

There's a third route if you want your marketing done for you as well. Our Growth Engine costs €1,799 a month on a 12-month term and runs Google Ads, Meta Ads, SEO and GEO every day. It includes a free custom website worth €5,500, and you own that website after the term. You pay nothing separately for the build.
