WEB DEVELOPMENT IN IRELAND

Websites, online shops and marketing for companies in Dublin, Cork, Galway and across Ireland — built for the rules that actually apply here.

What we do in Ireland

NAKO Agency builds websites, online shops and the marketing around them for Irish companies. What changes from one market to another is rarely the technology — it is what the law expects to see on the page, and who is liable when it is missing. In Ireland that starts with something most overseas agencies leave out: under the Companies Act 2014 a limited company must show its registered name, company number and registered office on its website, not only on paper. Your regulator on data is the Data Protection Commission in Dublin, and the rules for cookies and marketing email sit in the ePrivacy Regulations 2011, separately from the GDPR itself. None of this is difficult. It is only expensive when it is discovered after launch.

What the Irish market expects

Company details

Registered name, CRO number and registered office shown on the website — a Companies Act 2014 requirement, not a nicety

Your regulator

The Data Protection Commission in Dublin, not an agency abroad — and it is the lead authority for much of the technology sector

Cookies and email

The ePrivacy Regulations 2011 govern consent and marketing mail; they sit beside the GDPR and are enforced separately

The .ie domain

Registration still asks for a demonstrable connection to Ireland — we prepare the evidence with you before you need it

Currency

Euro, so our pricing needs no conversion and your invoices match your accounts

Distance selling

An online shop owes the buyer pre-contract information and a fourteen-day cancellation right, in writing, before payment

VAT

Your VAT number belongs on invoices and, where you sell to consumers, in the terms — Revenue treats absence as an error, not a style choice

Two markets, one island

Selling into Northern Ireland puts you under UK rules for that traffic; we say so before you build, not after

Why Irish companies work with us

  • CRO number and registered office where the law wants them, from launch
  • Consent handled the way the ePrivacy Regulations describe, not the way a plugin guesses
  • Every account — domain, hosting, analytics, ad platforms — created in your name and handed over
  • Prices in euro, quoted once, with the scope written next to the figure
  • A review before the quote, so the number answers a question instead of starting a negotiation
  • One month minimum, because an agency that holds you by contract stops trying
  • Written handover: what runs where, who to call, and how to leave us
  • We say when you do not need us — the shortest way to be believed the next time

Frequently asked questions

What does a website cost?

A landing page starts from €450, a company website from €2 000 and an online shop from €3 500. The exact figure depends on scope and integrations. Ireland is in the euro area, so the price you see is the price your accounts will show.

Starting prices. Every project gets its own quote.

Do I have to show my company number on the site?

Yes. The Companies Act 2014 requires a limited company to state its registered name, company number and registered office. A website counts. We put them in the footer and in the legal page, and we check them against the CRO register before launch.

Who regulates data protection in Ireland?

The Data Protection Commission, based in Dublin. It is also the lead supervisory authority for a large part of the technology sector operating in Europe, which is one reason Irish sites tend to be looked at closely.

Is a cookie banner enough?

Only if it does what the ePrivacy Regulations 2011 ask: no non-essential cookie fires before consent, refusing is as easy as accepting, and the choice is recorded. Most banners we inherit fail the first test — the scripts load while the banner is still on screen.

Can you register a .ie domain for us?

Yes. Registration asks for a connection to Ireland — a company number, a trade mark, a business name or another documented tie. We prepare that with you before applying, because a refused application costs a week, not a fee.

Do you work outside Dublin?

Yes. Most of the search demand sits in Dublin, which is why two of our pages are written for it, but the work is remote either way. Cork, Galway and Limerick clients get the same process and the same prices.

How long does it take?

We give the date after the review, not before. A schedule promised without seeing the content is a guess with a deadline attached — and the part that runs late is almost always the text, which is why we would rather plan for it than be surprised by it.

Who owns the site when we finish?

You do. Domain, hosting, repository, analytics and ad accounts are created in your name from the start. The handover is written down: what runs where, who to call, and how to move away from us if you want to.

Do you sign a contract for a year?

No. One month is the minimum, and it renews only if you want it to. An agency that keeps a client through a notice period stops trying exactly when it should try hardest.

We sell into Northern Ireland as well. Does that change anything?

For that traffic, yes — it falls under UK rules, including UK GDPR and the separate marketing rules there. It rarely changes the build, but it changes what the legal pages must say. We raise it before you build, not after.

Can you take over a site someone else built?

Often, yes. We start with an audit of what exists: what it runs on, what data it collects, whose accounts hold it. Sometimes the honest answer is that rebuilding costs less than untangling, and we say so.

Do you write the text?

We can, and for landing pages we usually do. For a company site the strongest text comes from you and gets edited by us — you know what customers actually ask, and that is the material a website is made of.
