Why most Dublin websites are quietly broken
You paid €5k for a website. It's slow, doesn't rank, and converts at 0.4%.
Most Dublin web design studios still build on WordPress with Elementor or Divi, ship 6MB pages stuffed with 40 plugins, and hand off a site that scores 28 on Lighthouse mobile. The site looks fine in the design preview. In the real world it loads in 7 seconds, fails Core Web Vitals, and Google ranks the competitor every time. We build differently — modern stack, SEO-first, fast by default.
Your site is built on WordPress with 40+ plugins. Every plugin update breaks something. Hosting bills keep climbing.
Mobile Lighthouse score is 28. Pages load in 6+ seconds. Core Web Vitals are red across the board.
Elementor or Divi has stuffed every page with 80 div wrappers. The HTML is unrenderable garbage and the CSS is 800kb.
Schema markup is missing or broken. Rich results are ineligible. Your competitor with stars in the SERP gets the click.
Hero image is a 4MB unoptimised JPEG. Above-the-fold content waits behind it. LCP fails on every page.
Every "small change" goes to your developer. Costs €200 and takes a week. You can't move fast.
Hosting is on shared cPanel that goes down every other month. Backups are nominal. Security updates are unmanaged.
The previous designer is gone. Nobody understands the build. You're locked into a stack that nobody wants to maintain.
Conversion is 0.4%. The forms are clunky, the CTAs are weak, the mobile experience is awful, and nobody's ever measured it properly.
Proof · Modern stacks rank by default
A fast, well-built site is SEO compounding interest.
When the foundation is right, every euro spent on content and links earns more. We build on Astro for static-by-default speed, Tailwind for clean CSS, Cloudflare for edge delivery, and ship sites that pass Core Web Vitals on day one. The site you're reading right now is built that way — and it loads in under a second.
- Astro + Tailwind — static-first, JS only when needed
- Cloudflare hosting — global edge, free SSL, instant cache invalidation
- Schema baked in — Organisation, LocalBusiness, BreadcrumbList, Service
- Image strategy — AVIF + WebP + responsive widths, automated
- SEO-first IA — clean URLs, semantic HTML, proper heading hierarchy
Web design services · What's actually included
A complete SEO-first website system.
We don't just design — we engineer. Six work streams: design + UX, modern stack build, SEO foundation, performance, schema, and post-launch optimisation. Every site we ship passes Core Web Vitals on day one.
Astro + Tailwind + Cloudflare The stack
Astro renders static HTML by default — no JavaScript hydration tax, no React waterfall, no plugin bloat. Tailwind keeps the CSS lean and consistent. Cloudflare delivers from the edge with free SSL, instant cache invalidation, and built-in DDoS protection. The whole stack is engineered for speed, SEO, and reliability. The site loads fast on day one and stays fast forever.
Talk about a rebuild →SEO foundation built in
Schema (Organization, LocalBusiness, Service, BreadcrumbList, FAQPage), clean URLs, semantic HTML, proper heading hierarchy, OG + Twitter cards, sitemap, robots, canonical logic. The SEO baseline most builds add later — we ship it from day one.
Design + UX
Conversion-focused layouts, mobile-first, clean typography, deliberate hierarchy, accessibility AA-baseline. We design for the visitor's task, not for the design portfolio.
Cloudflare hosting + edge
Global edge delivery, free SSL, automatic HTTPS redirects, free DDoS protection, instant cache purge, R2 storage. Hosting that doesn't go down and doesn't surprise you with bills.
Content + copy ready for SEO
We write the on-page copy with SEO intent, internal-link planning, and conversion in mind. The site doesn't just look good — it ranks for the queries it should rank for.
Post-launch + ongoing
The site doesn't end at launch. Search Console monitoring, Core Web Vitals tracking, schema validation, content addition, conversion experiments. We keep your site healthy month after month — or hand it off cleanly to a developer who can.

5★ from businesses we've built and ranked.
Before, we barely showed up on Google Maps and our website wasn't bringing in customers. A friend referred us to Webjuice and they delivered real results fast. Professional, supportive, and very affordable. Highly recommend to any business that wants better local visibility and more enquiries.

Big thanks to Mike and the Webjuice team. They sorted out our Google Business Profile and within about five months we started getting noticeably more calls and enquiries. Professional, responsive, genuinely knowledgeable — clear advice, no fluff, and the results really do speak for themselves.

Webjuice have been fantastic to work with. They really took the time to understand our business and quickly improved our visibility on Google. Clear communication, measurable results, and they genuinely care about helping us grow. We've seen a real increase in quality leads since working with them.

Web design FAQ
Web design Dublin, answered honestly.
The questions Dublin and Irish businesses ask before commissioning a new site.
Why don't you build on WordPress?
We can — but we don't recommend it for most modern projects. WordPress has performance, security, and maintenance overhead that's hard to justify when modern static-first stacks (Astro, Next, Hugo) deliver better Core Web Vitals, simpler hosting, and lower long-term costs. For content-heavy publishing where you genuinely need WordPress's editor ecosystem, we'll build it. For most service businesses and e-commerce, Astro is the better answer.
What's wrong with Elementor or Divi?
They wrap every element in 5–10 nested divs, ship 800kb of CSS, run JS that kills INP, and produce HTML that's hard to crawl and hard to optimise. The design preview looks fine. The Lighthouse score is 28. We've had to rebuild dozens of Elementor sites — the visual design migrates in days, the performance gains compound forever.
How long does a build take?
Landing page: 2–3 weeks. Full website (10–25 pages): 6–10 weeks. Replatform: scoped per project, usually 8–14 weeks. We don't rush — but we don't pad either.
Do you handle hosting?
Yes — Cloudflare Pages or Workers, included for the first year on every build. Static sites are free to host on Cloudflare's free tier and scale globally for nothing. After year one you can keep us managing it or take it over yourself — the build is yours.
Can I edit content myself after launch?
Yes. We can wire a headless CMS (Sanity, Contentful, Decap, or others) where ongoing content editing is required. For sites where content changes a few times a year, we usually skip the CMS overhead — you tell us what to change and we ship it the same day.
What about migrating from my current site?
We migrate every URL 1:1, write the redirect map, monitor through cut-over, and follow up at 30/60/90 days post-launch. Migrations are where most rebuilds destroy SEO equity — we treat them as their own engineering work stream.
Do you do e-commerce?
Yes — Shopify, BigCommerce, headless e-commerce on Astro + a commerce backend (Medusa, Snipcart, Shopify Hydrogen). For complex catalogues we usually recommend keeping the commerce platform and building a faster front-end. See our e-commerce SEO page.
How much does a website cost?
Start with the free SEO + AI Search Snapshot. We review the website, Google visibility, AI search readiness, tracking and ad readiness, then recommend the next step: a Webjuice Growth Matrix rebuild if the foundation is weak, or monthly growth if the site is already strong. We scope cost after the snapshot.
