Frequently asked questions
Why are Waterford web design quotes so different?
Overhead. A larger agency carries office rent and staff a small studio doesn't, so €5,000 and €1,500 quotes for the same scope can both be fair. Compare a written scope rather than the headline number.
Do I need a Waterford-based web designer?
No. Google cares whether the site is built for Waterford customers, with local SEO, area pages and LocalBusiness schema, not where the designer sits. Choose whoever builds the best site for the money.
What's included in a €399 to €699 Waterford site?
Usually a custom 3 to 8 page site, mobile-first layout, on-page SEO, LocalBusiness schema, a contact form, click-to-call and Analytics and Search Console setup. Ask for a written scope so you can compare quotes fairly.
