Web Design in Dundalk for Customers on Either Side of the Border
We design websites for Dundalk businesses that serve Louth, Monaghan and Northern Ireland at the same time. Each site shows the right currency, contact details and terms to each visitor, loads quickly on a phone, and is built on WordPress, Shopify or custom code that you own outright.
- Fixed written quote before design begins
- Euro and sterling, Eircodes and BT postcodes handled properly

Website design in Dundalk has a problem most Irish towns do not: a large share of the people reading your site may not be in the same country as you. A furniture shop on the Ardee Road, a car dealer on the Dublin Road, a wedding venue in the Cooley Mountains, a recruitment agency placing staff in Newry: all of them get visitors who think in sterling, dial 048 and expect a UK postcode field to accept their address.
When a site ignores that, small things leak enquiries. A quote form that rejects a BT postcode. A phone number that only works from an Irish mobile. A returns page that quotes Irish law to a customer in Armagh. A delivery checker that assumes everyone has an Eircode. None of these is dramatic, but each one sends a buyer back to Google to find someone else.
So before we design anything for a Dundalk client, we ask one question: what share of your customers live north of the border, and what do they buy? If the answer is none, you get a clean Irish site. If it is a lot, the structure, the forms, the checkout and the legal pages are planned for both from the first sketch.
How Much Does Web Design in Dundalk Cost?
Website design in Dundalk is priced on the work involved: the number of pages, how much design is bespoke, who writes the copy, and features such as booking, quoting or a shop. Selling to Northern Ireland adds currency, delivery and legal pages. You get a fixed written quote listing every item before we start.
- Pages and layouts, and whether some need northern versions
- Copywriting and photography, or material you supply
- Bookings, quote forms, payments or a two-currency shop
- Hosting, ongoing care and any SEO at launch
When you compare quotes from different Louth web designers, ask who will own the domain and the hosting account, and what happens if you leave. A low price can hide a site you are renting rather than buying. Our standard packages are on the pricing page.
WordPress, Shopify or a Custom Build for a Dundalk Business?
The best platform is the simplest one that does the job. Here is how they compare on the things Dundalk clients ask about most.
| What you need | WordPress | Shopify | Custom build |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical Dundalk fit | Trades, clinics, solicitors, venues and B2B suppliers | Retailers selling products online, with or without a counter in town | Supplier portals, quote engines or links into stock and job systems |
| Prices in euro and sterling | Possible on WooCommerce with an extra extension | Built in through Shopify Markets, with local currency at checkout | Built exactly to your rules, including separate price lists |
| Editing it yourself | Simple page editor and a recorded training session | Products, stock and orders are easy to manage | An admin area for only the parts you need to change |
| Running costs to expect | Hosting, plugin licences and updates | Monthly Shopify plan, apps and payment fees | Hosting plus developer time for changes |
| Moving away later | Easy: any WordPress host or developer can take over | Products export; the theme stays with Shopify | Depends on clean, documented code, which we hand over |
If WordPress will do the job, we will tell you so. We do not sell custom builds to clients who do not need them.
What a Cross-Border Website Needs That Others Don't
These are the details we plan into Dundalk sites with customers in Northern Ireland. If you only trade in the Republic, we leave them out.
A Checkout That Suits Both Sides
Shoppers in Newry expect to see sterling and UK delivery options; shoppers in Drogheda expect euro. We set prices, delivery zones and payment methods per market, and show returns and cancellation rights that match where the buyer lives. How VAT applies to each sale is your accountant's call; we configure the shop to follow it.
Addresses That Validate
Forms and delivery checkers that accept Eircodes and BT postcodes without throwing errors at northern customers.
Contact Options for Everyone
Numbers shown in a format that dials from Irish and UK phones, plus WhatsApp and a form for people who prefer to type.
Legal Pages for Two Regimes
Irish company details under the Companies Act 2014, plus terms and privacy wording reviewed for UK customers too.
Results Split by Country
Analytics and form tracking that show how many enquiries come from each side, so you know where to spend.
Accessible from Day One
Contrast, keyboard use, labelled forms and alt text, which the European Accessibility Act now expects of many shops.
How Long Does a New Website Take to Build?
A typical Dundalk service-business website of eight to fifteen pages takes four to six weeks from the first call to launch. A shop selling in two currencies, or a site with custom quoting or a supplier portal, takes longer. Your quote gives a launch date, and on-time content keeps it there.
- About a week to agree pages, content and targets
- Homepage design first, then the inner pages
- Two to three weeks of build and testing
- Launch week for redirects, checks and training

A lot of Dundalk's work is business to business. The life-science plants on the north side of the town, Almac's European campus and the vaccine plant MSD agreed to buy from WuXi Biologics, rely on contractors for cleanrooms, electrical work, facilities, logistics, catering and recruitment. Almac set up here so it could keep serving EU customers after Brexit, with its headquarters in Craigavon about 40 minutes up the road, which says a lot about how this town's economy straddles the border. None of these firms are our clients; they are the buyers our clients sell to.
Procurement teams in regulated industries read a supplier's website differently from a consumer. They look for certifications, insurance, safety records, sectors served, capacity and a named contact, and they often shortlist three suppliers from their desk before calling anyone. A site that leads with stock photos and a vague slogan rarely makes that list.
For these clients we build capability pages, downloadable specification or method-statement sheets, case descriptions written with your permission, and a contact route that reaches the right person quickly. Recruitment firms get job listings that Google can read, and contractors get pages for each sector they serve.
Can You Redesign My Dundalk Website Without Losing My Google Rankings?
Yes, if the move is planned. Before launch we list every page your current site has, note which ones bring visits and enquiries, and redirect each old address to its new equivalent. We keep the wording that ranks where it still makes sense, and check Search Console in the weeks after going live.
- Full list of old pages and the visits each earns
- Permanent redirects for every changed address
- Forms, phone links and tracking tested on launch day
- Search Console checked for errors after the switch

Web Design in Dundalk: Your Questions Answered
Tell us about your business and we'll answer honestly, even if the answer is that you don't need us yet.
Can my website show prices in euro and sterling?
Yes. Shopify does this natively, WooCommerce can with an extension, and a custom build can follow any rule you set. We also make sure delivery charges, returns and cancellation wording match the buyer's location.
Do I need separate websites for the Republic and Northern Ireland?
Usually not. One well-organised site with the right currency, contact details and terms for each visitor is cheaper to run and easier to rank. A second site only makes sense when you run a genuinely separate northern business.
Can I update the website myself once it's live?
Yes. You get an editor that needs no code, plus a recorded training session. Larger changes can come to us, to another developer, or to someone on your team.
Do you look after hosting and updates?
If you want us to, through an optional care plan covering hosting, security updates, backups and small edits. If you prefer your own host, we set the site up in your account and hand over every login.
Can you move my site off Wix, Squarespace or an old builder?
Yes. We move the text, images and posts to WordPress or Shopify, rebuild the design so it loads faster, and redirect the old addresses so links and Google results keep working.
Will you meet us in Dundalk?
We work remotely from India, so meetings are by video call, with email and WhatsApp between them. Our working day overlaps with the Irish morning, and you keep the same contact for the whole project.
Who writes the words on the website?
Whichever suits you. Send rough notes and we turn them into clear pages, or we interview you on a call and draft everything for approval. You sign off every page before it goes live.
