Web design in Kilkenny: a website designer for a county of crafts, castles and country towns
Kilkenny has a medieval city, a castle, a name for craft and design, and a farming county around them. A good website for a Kilkenny business has to look the part as well as do the job.
Doran Digital builds and looks after websites and web software by email and online, from Newcastle West, Co. Limerick.
Kinds of Kilkenny business a website helps
Craft, design and the arts
Kilkenny is closely tied to craft and design, and the county has many makers, galleries and studios. Strong photography and a clear way to buy or commission are what turn a visit to a site into a sale.
Tourism, hotels and festivals
The castle, the medieval streets and the festivals bring visitors to Kilkenny city, and to places such as Thomastown and Inistioge. Accommodation, restaurants, pubs and attractions benefit from a site that shows what is on and how to book.
Farming, food and drink
The county's farmland supports farmers, food producers and suppliers. Anyone selling to shops, restaurants or direct to customers can use a site to set out products and ways to order.
Shops, trades and professional firms
In Kilkenny city, Callan, Castlecomer and the villages, shops and tradespeople are found by search. A site with clear services and contact details helps the right customers reach you.
Kilkenny's towns
Kilkenny city is the centre, with Callan, Thomastown, Castlecomer, Graiguenamanagh, Freshford, Inistioge and Urlingford among the other towns and villages. A business in any of them can work with us by email and online, whether you trade on a main street or from a workshop down a country road.
How we would work together
Send us an email at [email protected] describing what you do and what you want from a website. We will set up an online brainstorm, then build a private draft that you can try before anything is public.
Once the site is live, a care plan takes care of hosting, security and updates. A maker or a gallery with changing work may want the Plus plan, which includes up to an hour a month of text and photo changes.
