A year of paid leads versus a site you own.
Rough figures, your numbers will differ. Put your own in the calculator.
Website design for builders and building contractors in Ireland. CIRI registration and insurance shown up front, a proper project gallery, and a quote form that filters out tyre-kickers. €900 for a full business site, live in five working days, free mockup first.
No card, no deposit. From €400, and you own everything.
Onlinetradesmen, MyBuilder and Bark sell the same enquiry to four builders and charge whether you win it or not. A site of your own means the customer found you, there's no one else quoting, and you keep the review.
Rough figures, your numbers will differ. Put your own in the calculator.
Your number is the biggest thing on the page. There's no comparison table, no "get 3 quotes", no fee when the phone rings. The review they leave goes on your Google profile, where it keeps working for years.
Homeowners spending extension money check three things: are you on the Construction Industry Register Ireland, are you insured, and have you done this before. We put your CIRI registration and insurance line in the header and on every project page, link the CIRI entry, and build a project gallery that shows the job from dig-out to handover. If you're a limited company, the Companies Act details go in the footer where they're required.
Yes. CIRI is the statutory register for building contractors under the 2022 Act, and registration is being phased in for certain works, so check ciri.ie for where you stand. Registered contractors get the badge and a link to their register entry. If you're not registered yet, the site is built so it can be added the day you are.
Mostly, yes. The quote form asks for job type, property, timeframe and a budget band before it sends you anything. People who won't answer those were never real jobs.
Under the Companies Act 2014 a company's website must show its name, registration number, place of registration and registered office. We put them in the footer.
Yes, as long as they're your work. Older jobs with good photos are still proof. We date them honestly.
Every builder's site gets a page for each of the three highest-value jobs in the trade, written the way people search for them.
The page that pays for the site. Types, typical costs in bands, planning-exempt sizes, timeline, and your finished extensions with photos.
Searched by name, and a clean €25,000 plus job. Covers the fire-regs basics, stairs and what's needed for a compliant conversion.
Whole-house work and the grant angle (SEAI deep retrofit, vacant property grant). A page that positions you for the big ones.
On top of the basics every tradewebsites.ie site gets: your .ie domain, hosting and SSL for a year, tap-to-call and WhatsApp, Google Business set-up, your reviews on the page and 30 days of edits.
Most builders start with the One-Pager. The Business Site is for anyone who wants a page for extensions and another for attic conversions, each ranking on its own. No VAT to add. Both include your .ie domain and the first year of hosting.
One page, all your services, built to be found and rung.
A page per job type and per area, built to rank for each.
€400 or €900 is the full price. There's no 23% on top and no small print. One invoice, one number.
A website that brings in work is a marketing cost, the same as the van signage. Your accountant will put it through the books; most treat it as an expense in the year you pay it.
Half when you approve the mockup, half when it goes live. Bank transfer or Revolut. Both invoices land in your email.
Nothing is paid until you've approved the free mockup. Want us to keep it running and updated? Add Maintenance for €39 a month, cancel any month. Want calls before Google catches up? Google & Meta ads from €149 a month.
Some web companies register your domain in their name, host your site where only they can reach it, and charge you to leave. That's how they keep customers. We keep customers by doing good work.
Nothing we build stops working if we disappear tomorrow. That's the whole point.
Mockup tomorrow, call the day after, live on Friday. Nothing to pay until you've seen the mockup.
