Web design in Dublin 15, from Mulhuddart

Where I am based

I work from Mulhuddart, on the north-west edge of Dublin. There is no shopfront and no agency team behind a reception desk: it is me, so the person you meet is the person who designs and builds your site.

Being local helps in two practical ways. I know the area's businesses compete for the same nearby customers on the same few searches, and I can sit down with you in person when that is easier than a call.

Where I work

I work in person around Dublin 15 and the surrounding area, and remotely with the rest of Ireland. These are the places I cover most.

What a local business needs from a website

A local business needs to be found nearby, on a phone, by someone who is about to buy. Three things matter most, and I handle each one.

• Getting found on Google Maps

  For a local business the map result usually matters more than the website. I set up your Google Business Profile with the right categories, opening hours and service area, so it shows up for people searching nearby.

• A site that works on a phone first

  Most local searches happen on a phone, often standing outside the place you are looking for. I design at phone size first, with a call button and your address within a thumb's reach.

• Words that sound like you

  I write with you, not from a template, so the site says what you do and who you do it for in the way you would say it across a counter.

How we meet

We start with a call, and meeting in person is optional. Nothing about the free demo needs you to leave your premises.

1. 01

   A call to start

   You request your free demo and I ring you or set up a screen-share. It is a conversation about the business, not a sales pitch.

2. 02

   I build the demo

   I build a real preview of your homepage. You can open it on your phone from wherever you are.

3. 03

   We go through it

   We can review it on a call, or in person if you would rather. I meet at your premises, or somewhere neutral such as a café in Blanchardstown.
