Web design in Monaghan: a website designer for the drumlins, lakes and border
Monaghan is drumlin country, with rolling hills, lakes and a border with Northern Ireland that runs along much of its edge. It is also known for mushroom growing, for Carrickmacross lace and for the poet Patrick Kavanagh, who came from Inniskeen.
Doran Digital makes websites and web software for businesses of any size, from Newcastle West, Co. Limerick. For Monaghan businesses, everything is by email and online.

Starting a Monaghan website
-
1. Write to us
Email [email protected] and tell us about the business: what you do, who your customers are and what you want a website to achieve.
-
2. Review a private draft
After a quick online brainstorm, we build a draft only you can see, and you tell us what to change before it is public.
-
3. Launch with care
We put the site live, and a care plan keeps hosting, security and updates in order.
What suits Monaghan businesses
- Food growing and processing. Mushroom growing and food production are a notable part of the county's economy. Growers, packers and suppliers who sell to retailers and the food trade can use a website to set out products and how to enquire.
- Crafts and lace. The Carrickmacross and Clones lace traditions mean there are makers, shops and galleries selling to visitors and to buyers further afield. Photography and a clear way to buy or ask matter most.
- Farming and rural trades. Farming and the trades that support it are found across the county. A page that says what you do, and the area you cover, helps people find the right business when they search.
- Visitors, walkers and anglers. The lakes and quiet roads suit walkers, cyclists and anglers, and Kavanagh's home village draws literary visitors. Cafés, guesthouses and guides can show seasons, prices and bookings on a site.
