Website design & development company in Dublin

WordPress suits a team that wants to publish and edit a lot of its own content. A custom Next.js site can also include an editor and offers a faster, more secure build. Your choice starts with the people who will use it: how often they publish, which parts they need to change and how much control they want over the site.

A hosted builder such as Wix, Squarespace or Webflow suits a small site that you want to run on your own. The trade-off is less control over code and speed, and moving away later can mean rebuilding the site. Review that trade-off before you put a large amount of content into the platform.

A headless setup pairs a custom front end with a separate editor. It suits a site that needs speed alongside frequent content changes, though there are more parts to host and maintain. We recommend WordPress or a custom Next.js site after learning how your team works, so the editing setup fits the work you actually do.

For cookies that are not strictly necessary for a service the visitor explicitly requests, Irish rules require clear information and consent before the site stores or accesses them. We set up a consent banner and keep those cookies from loading until the visitor agrees. The information needs to be clear enough for someone to understand the choice they are making.

If you want an .ie domain, the application needs a supporting document showing your connection to Ireland. Have that document ready as part of the domain work; we set up the domain for launch.
