How much does a website cost in Bray?

A business website starts from €75 and goes live in about three days. An e-commerce build starts from €140 in around seven days, and a custom application from €180 in ten. Those are starting figures — the exact number is fixed in writing once scope is agreed, and it does not move after that.

What currency will I be invoiced in?

EUR. Quotes, milestones and the final invoice are all written in EUR so you are never comparing a converted figure against a local supplier's. Regarding tax: VAT at 23%, with my invoices reverse-charged to you as the recipient.

Do I need to provide the content and images?

Content, yes — you know your business and I do not. I will restructure and edit what you send so it reads for the web, and I will tell you where a section is missing. Photography is worth paying a local photographer for; stock images of people in offices are recognisable as stock and quietly cost you credibility.

Do you actually work with businesses in Bray?

Yes, remotely. I work with Irish clients from Islamabad, quoting in EUR and invoicing in EUR. I have no office, address or phone number in Bray and will not pretend otherwise. If your project needs someone physically present, hire locally — I will say so in the first reply rather than after a deposit.

What payment methods can my Bray checkout accept?

For Ireland: Stripe, SEPA Direct Debit, and Revolut Business for smaller recurring plans. The right combination depends on your average basket and your customers, and picking wrong is expensive — the payment method a buyer expects but cannot find is one of the most common reasons a checkout is abandoned at the final step.

How long does a Bray project actually take?

Three days for a business site, seven for a store, ten for a custom application. That holds because the process is fixed rather than improvised and because your content exists on day one. What stretches a build is almost never the code — it is waiting for copy, logos and photographs, so those are requested before the clock starts.

Who owns the website when it is finished?

You do, completely. The domain is registered in your name, hosting sits in your account, the code lives in a repository you control, and any payment provider account is opened in your business name. Credentials are handed to you as they are created rather than at the end, so you are never locked out of your own site.

Responsive web design and development in Bray

Responsive is not a feature to add at the end. A layout designed at 1440px and squeezed down produces a phone experience that technically works and practically loses enquiries — tap targets too close together, a form that fights the keyboard, and a call button below three screens of hero image. For Bray businesses, quoted in EUR from $80, typically live in 3 days.

What responsive web design and development includes for a Bray business

Fixed scope, agreed in writing before development starts. From $80, typically live in 3 days.

Mobile-first layouts designed at 360px and widened, rather than desktop layouts compressed
Fluid type and spacing scales so nothing is pinned to a handful of arbitrary breakpoints
Tap targets at 24px minimum with real spacing between them, per WCAG 2.2
Images served as AVIF and WebP with correct srcset and explicit width and height attributes
Forms with correct input types and autocomplete, so phone keyboards behave
Tables and wide content that scroll inside their own container instead of breaking the page
Tested on a real handset over mobile data, not only in a resized desktop browser
Core Web Vitals verified in the field after launch, including Cumulative Layout Shift

Why this matters for Ireland specifically

Ireland is small enough that a niche site can own its category nationally rather than fighting city by city, which changes the keyword strategy completely — I build Irish sites for national reach first, county second.

Why the Bray quote lists exclusions as well as inclusions

Every quote I send names what is not included as explicitly as what is. Copywriting from scratch, photography, logo design, ongoing content, paid advertising and third-party licence fees are the usual ones. A quote listing only inclusions is not cheaper — it is the same price with the arguments deferred to later.

This is unpopular at the proposal stage and it is the reason fixed prices hold. Someone comparing three quotes for a Bray project is usually comparing three different scopes without realising it, and the cheapest one is very often the one that excluded the most while saying the least.

Professional services in Bray

Accountants, solicitors, consultants and agencies sell judgement, which cannot be photographed. What converts instead is specificity: the sectors you actually work in, the size of client you actually serve, and named people with real biographies. A professional services site full of stock imagery and the word "bespoke" is indistinguishable from every competitor in Bray.

Practically, the site's job is qualification rather than lead volume. Publishing your minimum engagement size loses you enquiries and saves you hours, and almost every practice I have built for concluded afterwards that it should have done it sooner.

Images shipped at ten times the size they display

A hero photograph exported at 4000 pixels wide and displayed at 400 is the most common single cause of a slow page. The browser downloads all of it and then discards most of it. On a phone over mobile data that is several seconds spent waiting for pixels nobody will ever see.

The fix is generating each image at the sizes actually used, serving AVIF or WebP with a fallback, and setting explicit width and height so the layout does not jump while they load. It is mechanical work with a directly measurable result, which makes it the first thing worth doing on almost any Bray site.

What I am not claiming about Bray

I have no office, postal address or phone number in Bray
I cannot meet you in person, and if that is a requirement you should hire locally
I am not claiming existing clients in Bray specifically — my live work is listed on the work page and you can check it
Nothing on this page is a guarantee of search rankings, which no developer can honestly offer
