Built in Co. Monaghan, trusted by Ireland
Since 2011, we've been helping Irish businesses get online. No fancy Dublin office. No corporate jargon. Just real people building real websites that work.

How it all started
In 2011, Ciaran Connolly had a simple idea: help Irish businesses build an online presence without having to pay Dublin agency prices. There was no grand plan, no investor backing. Just a developer with WordPress skills and a belief that great websites shouldn't cost a fortune.
From a desk in Clonkirk, Clones, Co. Monaghan, we started building websites for local businesses, farms, shops, and service providers. We made mistakes. We learned fast. And we kept improving.
Fifteen years later, we've worked with businesses in every single Irish county. Not because we're perfect, but because we understand Irish business. We know the challenges of trading in a rural area. We get the constraints of small budgets. And we've built something real: a reputation that comes from actual results.

Meet the team
Ciaran Connolly, Founder
Ciaran started Web Design Ireland because he believed Irish businesses deserved better: better value, better service, and better results. Fifteen years later, that belief hasn't changed.
"I built Web Design Ireland to prove you don't need a flashy agency in Dublin to get a world-class website. Our clients are based everywhere from Donegal to Kerry, and they get the same personal service and attention that would cost three times as much anywhere else."
Ciaran handles strategy, client relationships, and makes sure every project gets the attention it deserves.
