Web design Galway
Websites for Galway businesses serving the city, Connemara and the visitors who arrive all year. Built for local customers, festival crowds and trade buyers, with an option to include Irish-language pages.
A regional service business went from a slow, template-built site to a custom build with proper local SEO. Twelve months later, organic traffic was up over four hundred %, and most enquiries were coming from the website.
Galway runs on locals, students, visitors and festivals.
Galway has two universities, a large medical-device sector and one of the busiest tourism trades in the country. On a summer week a city-centre business might serve all of them. Your website needs to be clear about who it is for and easy to use when demand spikes.
West of the city, Connemara businesses often trade bilingually, and for some an Irish-language version of key pages is part of who they are.
What a Galway website needs to do.
Irish-language pages
For Gaeltacht businesses, I can build Irish and English versions of key pages with a language switcher and the right technical setup, with translation supplied by you or a translator.
Festival and race-week peaks
Arts Festival and race-week demand means booking, menus and availability need to be easy to update and fast under load.
Suppliers to the medtech cluster
Business-to-business sites that show capabilities, quality standards and certifications for buyers in regulated industries.
The foundations of a hard-working website.

Web design across Galway.
I work with businesses in Galway city, Salthill, Oranmore, Athenry, Tuam, Loughrea, Ballinasloe, Gort and out to Clifden.
How Galway customers find you.
Galway searches range from locals looking for a service in their part of the city to visitors searching from abroad weeks ahead. Pages built around specific services and areas, with consistent business details, help you appear for both. For ongoing search work, see SEO in Galway.
If you want help beyond the build, I also offer local SEO and Google Ads management.
Common questions.
Are you based in Galway?+
No, I am based in Cork and work with Galway businesses remotely. Projects run on a written brief, shared previews and calls, so neither of us needs to travel for the work to get done.
Can you build a bilingual Irish and English website?+
Yes. I build the structure: separate Irish pages, a language switcher and the technical tags that tell Google which version is which. The Irish text itself should come from you or a professional translator.
How much does a website cost for a Galway business?+
Most small business websites land between €2,500 and €7,000, depending on the number of pages, content and features. Online shops and booking integrations are quoted separately. You get a written quote after the first conversation.
My business gets very busy during festivals. What should the site do?+
Make the essentials easy to find and update: opening hours, menus, availability and booking. We also make sure the site stays fast when traffic jumps.
Do you work with B2B suppliers in Galway?+
Yes. Supplier sites are built around what buyers check first: capabilities, certifications, sectors served and a clear route to request a quote.
Built for how people in Galway actually search.
Local search is one of the most under-used opportunities for small Galway businesses. Most of your competitors have a website that was built years ago, never updated, and never optimised for the way people search now, mostly on a phone, often with a town name attached.
I build websites that take that seriously. Each page is structured around real local intent, with proper schema, a properly set up Google Business Profile, and on-page content that talks about the places and services that matter. The result is a site that quietly turns into your best salesperson.
If you also want help with SEO in Galway, Google Ads or a Shopify store, those can roll into the same engagement. See the main web design page for the full picture.
