If you're a small business in Northern Ireland or Ireland looking into getting a website, one of the first questions you'll have is simple: how much does it cost? The honest answer is that it depends on what you need — but for most small, local businesses it's a lot less than people expect.
What affects the cost of a website?
A website's price usually comes down to a few things:
- How many pages you need
- Whether you need features like online booking or a gallery
- Whether you're starting from scratch or redesigning an existing site
- The agreed project scope and any ongoing annual maintenance
Choose the right package
LocalWebs full website packages are £500–£750, depending on the agreed scope. Website Revive is £350–£500 and premium 3D websites start at £1,000. Optional 60-day payment split: 50% of the agreed project price is due 30 days after the agreed payment schedule starts, and the remaining 50% is due after the next 30 days (day 60). The start date and both due dates are confirmed in writing before you commit. This is two payments towards the project total, not an ongoing subscription. Otherwise, existing client agreements keep their agreed terms.
These are LocalWebs prices for new enquiries, not a market-wide estimate. Confirm the written scope and final quote before committing.
Compare the build and ongoing care
| Package | Project price | Ongoing care |
|---|---|---|
| Website Revive | £350–£500 | Care plan and start date agreed separately |
| Full Website Package | £500–£750 | £100/year standard care after year one |
| Premium 3D Website | From £1,000 | £150/year premium care after year one |
Ask for payment, ownership and renewal terms in writing. Optional 60-day payment split: 50% of the agreed project price is due 30 days after the agreed payment schedule starts, and the remaining 50% is due after the next 30 days (day 60). The start date and both due dates are confirmed in writing before you commit. This is two payments towards the project total, not an ongoing subscription. Existing client agreements retain their agreed terms.
What about ongoing costs?
A website isn't a one-off. Domains, hosting and the occasional update all need looking after. With LocalWebs, ongoing maintenance, updates and domain management are £100 per year after the included first year of a full website package. Premium care is £150/year where agreed. Revive care is confirmed separately.
What you actually get
Whatever you pay, you get a professional website that presents your services clearly, works on mobile, and makes it easy for customers to contact you — plus a free demo before you pay anything, so you can see exactly what you're getting.
What should your website quote include?
- The agreed pages, features and revision rounds.
- Whether domain registration, hosting and launch are included.
- Who supplies the text, photographs and logo.
- The price of booking dashboards, AI assistants, payments or other optional features.
- Any third-party subscriptions, transaction fees, taxes and future renewal costs.
- Who controls the domain and what happens when you leave the provider.
Website design costs for businesses in Ireland
LocalWebs also works with businesses in the Republic of Ireland. Our published standard prices here are in pounds sterling, not euros. Confirm the invoice currency and any currency-conversion charges before paying. A price shown in pounds should not be read as the same number of euros.
Do booking, online payments or a redesign change the price?
A simple enquiry form and a full booking system solve different problems. A booking dashboard, deposits, payment processing, an AI assistant or migrating an existing website can change the scope. Describe the customer journey you need and ask for an itemised quote. Payment providers and specialist booking platforms may charge their own fees.
