What payment methods can my Drogheda 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 do you handle our customers' data under EU GDPR?

Your customer data is governed by the EU GDPR, supervised by the Irish Data Protection Commission, and sending it to a developer in Pakistan is a restricted transfer. That is resolved by a pre-signed DPA incorporating the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, published on this site and pre-signed before you send an enquiry — not drafted after you ask about it.

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.

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 you provide ongoing maintenance after launch?

Thirty days of snag fixes are included after launch at no extra cost — anything that does not work as specified gets fixed. Beyond that there are monthly plans for updates, backups, monitoring and small changes. They are optional and cancellable; a site handed over properly does not require a retainer to keep running.

Can you fix my existing site rather than rebuild it?

Often, yes, and it is usually the cheaper answer. Speed problems, a broken mobile layout, a form that silently fails or missing structured data are all fixable on the site you already have. I will tell you which of the two you need after looking, and a rebuild only gets recommended when the fix would cost more than starting again.

What hours will you be available to us in Drogheda?

My standard day lands at 05:00–14:00 your time — about 5 hours of genuine overlap with a normal Drogheda working day. That is enough for one reliable daily window rather than constant back-and-forth, so Drogheda projects run on written updates plus one scheduled call a week.

Website maintenance and support in Drogheda

Almost every website emergency I get called into was preventable and cheap to prevent: an expired domain, an unpatched plugin, a backup nobody had ever restored. Maintenance is not a subscription for reassurance — it is the specific set of checks that stop those three things from happening to you. For Drogheda businesses, quoted in EUR from $45, typically live in ongoing monthly.

What website maintenance and support includes for a Drogheda business

Fixed scope, agreed in writing before development starts. From $45, typically live in ongoing monthly.

Core, plugin and dependency updates applied on staging first, then live
Offsite backups taken on a schedule and test-restored quarterly, because an untested backup is a hope
Security patching, plus header and SSL certificate checks
Uptime and certificate-expiry monitoring, with alerts that reach a human
Domain and hosting renewal watch — the single most common cause of a site going dark
A monthly allowance of small content and layout changes, with anything larger quoted separately
Search Console and analytics checked monthly for coverage errors and traffic anomalies
A short written monthly report: what changed, what was found, what needs a decision

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 Drogheda sites are built to be edited by you

A site you cannot update is a site that decays. Prices go stale, staff leave, the opening hours are wrong for six months. So the parts of a Drogheda build that change often — text, images, prices, opening hours, team members — are editable by you without touching code or paying me.

That is a design decision with a cost: it takes longer to build an editable block than a hard-coded one. It is worth it because the alternative is a maintenance dependency that benefits me and not you, and a developer whose income depends on you being unable to change your own opening hours is not aligned with your interests.

Education and training providers in Drogheda

Course pages are the whole site. Each needs the outcome, the duration, the price, the prerequisites and the next start date visible without scrolling — and each needs to be its own indexable URL, because people search for the course, never for a training provider they have not heard of.

The recurring failure is a single "Courses" page listing twenty courses. It ranks for nothing because it is specifically about nothing. Twenty pages, each genuinely about one course, is more work and is the difference between a site that recruits and a brochure that sits there.

A redesign that quietly deleted the rankings

The classic disaster: a new site launches, looks far better, and organic enquiries fall off a cliff within a fortnight. The cause is almost always identical — the URLs changed and nothing was redirected, so every page that had accumulated years of authority now returns a 404.

Preventing it is a redirect map built before launch: every old URL to its closest new equivalent with a 301, and anything without an equivalent pointed at the nearest relevant page rather than the homepage. If your Drogheda site is being redesigned by anyone, ask to see that map. If it does not exist, that is the entire risk in one document.

What I am not claiming about Drogheda

I have no office, postal address or phone number in Drogheda
I cannot meet you in person, and if that is a requirement you should hire locally
I am not claiming existing clients in Drogheda 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
