A website is a necessity for any small business, home based business, entrepreneurs or anyone selling products and services – it can simply be an extension of your business card. Setting up a website requires three key elements –

1) Domain Name

2) Hosting

3) Design & Development.

Domain Name
Domain name is the name your customers would type in search engines, browsers to get to your website i.e. www.xpressfix.ie. You can choose between .ie, .com etc. extensions that are most suited to your business model.

Hosting
Hosting is more like a rented space on a server, where all the files, images etc. are stored for your website and centrally accessible to anyone around the globe. Hosting will also enable you to have a professional email for your business i.e. contact@yourbusinessname.ie.

Design & Development
A website should be an extension of your business branding, colours. We at Firstidea endeavour to create a bespoke design based on your existing branding. If you are only starting out, we will work with you to create the online presence that you be proud to show off to your peers!

If you have any questions, and would like to discuss your website project please call us on 015047000 or simply email your query at hello@firstidea.ie.

Now, this a very good question! To answer this in the most simple manner it’s like everything else – final cost depends on how much functionality there is, how complex the design is and what level of design is required.

A basic landing page can be done from €295. We have developed websites costing low as a couple of hundred to thousands.

Like any business, website design and development must be budgeted for and you as a business owner must decide how much you are willing to spend on a website for your business.

A website that is functional, and brings you business should be considered as an investment rather than the expense.

Yes, as standard domain name and hosting are charged per year. Every website out there needs to be hosted on a server and needs to have a domain name for customers to find online.

Domain names cost depends on domain extensions. .ie are dearer than .com, .net, .org domain extensions.
