Websites: what they cost, what they need, and the rules they meet

A business website has to load quickly on a phone, be found, and meet Irish privacy and accessibility law.

These articles price a website the way you will pay for it: the build once, then the domain, hosting and upkeep every year. Where we quote other Irish web designers, it is from their own published prices, with the date we read them.

They also cover the parts a website is judged on after launch: how fast it loads on a phone, whether it works for someone using a screen reader, and whether it starts tracking visitors before they agree.
