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.

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.

Do you actually work with businesses in Drogheda?

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 Drogheda 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.

How much does a website cost in Drogheda?

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.

How long does a Drogheda 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.

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.

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.

Website speed and performance optimisation in Drogheda

A Lighthouse score on a developer laptop with fibre broadband is not a measurement of your site — it is a measurement of the laptop. The work here is judged on field data from real visitors on real phones, which is also the data Google actually uses. For Drogheda businesses, quoted in EUR from $80, typically live in 4 days.

What website speed and performance optimisation includes for a Drogheda business

Fixed scope, agreed in writing before development starts. From $80, typically live in 4 days.

Field-data baseline from Chrome UX Report where your traffic supports it, plus throttled lab testing where it does not
Largest Contentful Paint work: the actual LCP element identified, then preloaded, resized and served in a modern format
Interaction to Next Paint work, which usually means shipping less JavaScript rather than reordering it
Cumulative Layout Shift eliminated: dimensions on media, reserved space for embeds, metric-matched font fallbacks
Render path fixed — critical CSS, deferred non-essential script, and third-party tags audited for what they cost
Image pipeline: AVIF and WebP with correct srcset, and lazy loading applied below the fold only
Caching and compression configured at the server, including long-lived immutable assets
A before-and-after report with the numbers and the method, so you can reproduce it rather than trust it

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 Drogheda 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 Drogheda 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 Drogheda

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 Drogheda.

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 Drogheda site.

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
