Websites planned around how your customers decide.
We design and build business websites and online stores shaped around the questions your customers ask before they buy. Your project lead runs everything from the first call to handover.

Why Websites Underperform
Most visitors decide within seconds whether you can help them. Here is what usually gets in the way.
Built around the business, not the customer
Pages list what you do in the order you think about it. Customers arrive with a question, such as “do they cover my area?” or “what will this cost?”, and leave when the answer is not obvious. When you bring us your page list, we check it against the questions your customers ask on the phone and show you where a page is missing an answer.
Designed before the content existed
A layout picked first, with text squeezed in afterwards, is why so many sites have empty-sounding headings and stock photos. We agree the page structure and content with you before design starts, so the design fits what you actually need to say.
Hard to change after launch
If every edit needs a developer, the site goes stale within a year. We decide with you which parts your team will update and build those to be edited easily, then train you on them.
Three kinds of website, three starting prices
Business Website: from €4500 ex VAT · 3–4 weeks
A service or brochure site planned around how your customers choose. Includes structure advice on your page plan, custom design, build, search foundations, a recorded one-hour training session and a full manual for running the site. You own the site, the content and the custom code.
Portals, member areas and integrations, built with Next.js and Supabase. For when a website is no longer enough for how your business runs. Full code ownership on final payment.
Already have a site that needs work rather than replacing? See website redesign.
Plan for Enquiries
You know your customers. We know how websites get used. Most clients come to us with their pages and a view on how they should be structured. We review that plan against the questions your customers ask before they buy, and advise where a page should be split, merged, reordered or given a clearer next step. The final structure is your decision.
Design comes after the plan, so it fits your real content rather than placeholder text. The build then covers the details that decide whether the site works: it is fast on a phone, forms reach the right inbox, and every page has a clear title, heading and links to the pages around it. That last part is what gives SEO something to build on later.
Before launch, we test on phones, tablets and desktops. At handover, your team gets a recorded one-hour training session and a full manual covering how the site works and how to use it.
Websites we've built across Irish sectors
Retail and eCommerce · GoldBank
GoldBank's online store has a custom plugin showing live gold and silver prices. Sales rose 30% over six months and the engaged rate went from 0.7 to 1.7. We have maintained it for ten years.
Education · HomeSchool.ie
HomeSchool.ie needed its site rebuilt to keep up with a growing business.
“Thanks to the excellent work, professionalism and high quality build from CK Website Design, we now have a website that has allowed our business to continue its growth.”
Financial and professional services · Clevermoney
Clevermoney used CK for its website and SEO.
“Very straightforward to deal with. Used for Website and SEO. Delivered more than expected.”
Charities and non-profits · Good Energies Alliance Ireland
Good Energies Alliance Ireland needed a site a non-technical team could run.
“Ck Design brought us through all stages of creating our new website, working with non-technical personnel with unending patience.”
How a project runs
From first call to launch in five steps
Discovery call. A 30-minute call about your business, your customers and what the site needs to do. You receive a short written brief.
Proposal. Scope, price, milestones and responsibilities in writing. Nothing starts until you have signed it off.
Design. The page structure first, then the design. You approve both before we build.
Build. Built on a staging site you can review at any point, then tested on phones, tablets and desktops.
Launch and handover. We go live, train your team, and hand over the manual and session recording. Your first month of website care is free.
Yours at Launch
You own the site, the content and any custom code. There is no licence to renew with us and no platform you are locked into.
After launch, your first month of website care is free. Your team also gets a recorded one-hour training session and a full manual. After that, you can run the site yourself or move onto a care plan.
With CK, business websites start from €4500 ex VAT and online stores from €7500. The proposal sets the final price, based on page count, content, integrations and any migration from an existing site.
How long does it take?
Three to four weeks for a business website and four to six for an online store, counted from the day we have everything we need: logins, content, images, logos and your completed project questionnaire. Missing material is the most common cause of delay, so the proposal lists who supplies what, and when.
Do you use WordPress or build custom?
Business websites are built on WordPress as standard, so your team can edit them easily. When a project needs more, such as a fully custom design and build, logins, portals or integrations, we build it as a web application with Next.js and Supabase.
Should I redesign my current site or start again?
If the structure is sound and the problems are mainly visual, a redesign costs less. If customers cannot find what they need, or the site cannot be edited without a developer, a rebuild usually works out cheaper over a few years. We will tell you which after looking at it.
Is SEO included?
The foundations are included: page structure, titles, headings, internal links and speed. Ongoing SEO is a separate service. SEO services.
Can I get funding towards a new website?
Some businesses can use the Grow Digital Voucher, which covers up to 50% of eligible costs to a maximum of €5000. Eligibility has conditions, so check with your Local Enterprise Office before you rely on it.
