Web design · Galway, Co. Galway

Web design in Galway.

rohcode is based in Waterford, not Galway — that's a deliberate detail, not a hidden one. The work happens over video and a shared brief, the build runs the same whether you're across town or across the country, and there's no Galway-rent premium baked into the invoice.

Website design for businesses in Galway.

Galway carries the festival-town brand more strongly than any city in Ireland — Galway International Arts Festival, Galway Races, Cuirt, the Christmas Continental Market — and a hospitality, food and visitor trade that grew up around those events. It's also a serious tech and life-sciences hub on a scale disproportionate to its population: Medtronic, Cisco, Boston Scientific, and a startup pipeline fed by the University of Galway. The small-business mix runs from pubs and restaurants packed during festival weeks to boutique retailers on Shop Street and Quay Street, healthcare clinics in Salthill, professional firms around Eyre Square, and visitor-attraction operators stretching out into Connemara. The website problem we hear from Galway businesses is recognisable: a site built five years ago by a developer who has since moved on, slow on a phone in the rain, and not ranking for the searches that actually bring in walk-ins and visitors.

Why rohcode

Three things we do that the typical web shop doesn’t.

Modern tech, measurably fast

Built on React + Vite + Vercel edge hosting — the same stack as the largest sites on the web. You can feel the difference against the WordPress-heavy field on day one. This very page was prerendered to static HTML at build time, which is why it loaded the way it did.

Solo by design, supported by setup

rohcode is one developer, which worries some people fairly. Two answers: sites are hosted on managed infrastructure that doesn't need me sitting in front of it to keep running, and you keep your code and your domain at all times — if anything ever happens to me, you keep your business.

Pricing published before you ask

Real numbers, in writing, before any conversation: build from €799 all-in, monthly €19 for hosting and maintenance, consult €200/hr, bespoke work quoted in writing on completion. No "request a quote" games and no surprise invoices.

Who we build for

Built for the businesses Galway actually has.

  • Restaurants, cafés and bars in the city centre and Salthill
  • Hotels, B&Bs and short-stay rentals built around festival demand
  • Tour operators and visitor-attraction businesses across Galway and Connemara
  • Independent retailers on Shop Street, Quay Street and around
  • Clinics, dentists and allied-health practices
  • Professional firms (legal, accounting, advisory)
  • Small trade and service businesses across the county

Areas we cover

Around Galway, and across the West.

We work with businesses across Co. Galway including Salthill, Oranmore, Athenry, Tuam and Spiddal, and with neighbouring cities — work that ranks locally for one town tends to rank well for the area around it too.

FAQ

Common questions from Galway businesses.

How much does a small-business website cost in Galway?

Builds start at €799 plus €19/month for ongoing hosting, maintenance and small content edits. That price is the same in Galway as anywhere else in Ireland — we publish real numbers, not "request a quote".

Do you only work with businesses in Galway?

No — rohcode is based in Waterford and works with businesses across Ireland. We have a dedicated Galway page because it's one of the cities we hear from most. We work with Galway and the surrounding the West area, including Salthill, Oranmore, Athenry, and the build process runs the same wherever you are.

Do you build WordPress sites?

No. Every rohcode site is built with React, TypeScript and a modern hosting stack (Vercel edge) so it stays fast, doesn't need monthly plugin patching, and won't break overnight because an extension auto-updated. If you currently have a WordPress site and want to move off it, we can take you off it as part of a build.

Can I edit the site myself after launch?

Yes. Every site ships with a portal login that lets you edit your own copy, swap images, and update opening hours, prices, contact details and small page content — without touching code and without re-engaging us for routine changes.

How long does a Galway build typically take?

From submitted build order to a launched site is typically 2–4 weeks for a standard catalog build, depending on how quickly your content and brand assets come back. Bespoke work is quoted separately with its own timeline.

Ready to talk about your Galway website?

One hour, on video, with the developer who would do the work. €200 charged at booking. Written scope and quote either way.
