Get answers to common questions from businesses I work with at LaraWeb. Can't find what you're looking for? Get in touch.
I keep the packages simple: First Website Launch starts from €495 when your Facebook, Instagram or Google Business profile already has usable branding, photos and correct business details. Starter Enquiry Websites begin from €950, Lead-Generation Websites from €1,850, Booking or Store Websites from €3,250, and no-enquiry website triage is free before any paid fixes are quoted. I always provide clear, fixed quotes before starting.
A working First Website Launch is usually one working day when the social profile, logo, photos and business details are ready before I start. A new .ie domain may need up to one extra working day for DNS propagation when setup is fresh. Starter Enquiry sites usually take 1-2 weeks, Lead-Generation sites usually take 2-3 weeks, and Booking or Store sites are quoted by scope. Custom work depends on the feature list, approvals, and content readiness.
Yes. Business sites and Online Stores include a user-friendly content management system (CMS) where needed, so you can manage text, images, blog posts, products, and more. Launch sites use simple hardcoded sections to keep costs down but can be upgraded later.
Absolutely. Every LaraWeb site is fully responsive and optimized for performance on phones, tablets, and desktops. I test across modern devices and browsers before launch to ensure a solid experience for your visitors.
Yes. I set up your site with SEO best practices and connect it to Google Analytics, Search Console, and Business Profile. Local Business website builds include SEO setup and a 1 month check-in. Paid ads setup can be quoted separately if you want to run campaigns.
No. Hosting is simple: Basic Hosting is €90/year for most Launch and Business sites. Store Hosting is €299.50/year for Online Stores, heavier sites, or custom features. Domains and optional professional email are paid separately.
No problem. I can help you create professional content and source high-quality stock imagery where needed. Website builds include simple brand styling so the site looks consistent at launch. I can also plan content with you when that makes the project easier.
Yes. New website builds include 30 days of Website Care & Support for launch fixes, minor changes, and handover help. After that, care plans start from €45/month including updates, security monitoring, backups, and technical assistance. See the Website Care plans for Basic, Complete and Premium options. On-demand content updates are available at €45/hour.
Yes. I specialize in integrations and can connect your site to third-party tools such as Stripe for payments, Mailchimp for email marketing, booking systems, CRMs (like HubSpot or Zoho), or custom dashboards. Business and Store builds include one simple integration, such as analytics, a contact form, a booking link, or a map. Custom API integrations are quoted separately.
AI can generate a rough website quickly, so simple launch sites should not cost old agency prices. I use AI to move faster, then add the parts that still need real experience: clean implementation, mobile testing, local SEO setup, analytics, forms, speed, security, ownership, and integrations that match your business. You deal directly with me, not a sales team.
Most normal websites use Basic Hosting at €90/year. Online Stores, heavier websites, and custom features use Store Hosting at €299.50/year. I recommend the right option before launch so you do not pay for hosting you do not need.
Yes! I provide full assistance with .ie domain registration, including guidance through the application process, help with required documentation, and domain availability checking. A .ie domain establishes your authentic Irish business identity and builds trust with local customers. Domain fees (typically €15-30/year) are paid directly to the registrar.
Professional email is optional and starts from €1.50/month per address for emails like [email protected]. Basic email is included with Basic Hosting, or you can connect your existing Gmail, Outlook, or iCloud email.
Absolutely. Upon completion, you receive full ownership of your website, including all code, content, design files, and connected accounts (Google Analytics, Search Console, Business Profile, etc.). No lock-in, no proprietary systems. You are free to move the site elsewhere at any time, though many clients keep me on for hosting and Website Care.
New website builds include 30 days of Website Care & Support, which covers launch fixes, minor content changes, handover help, and technical support when you need it. After that, you can continue with a care plan from €45/month depending on your requirements, or manage the site yourself — the choice is yours.
Yes. Google or Facebook Ads setup can be quoted separately. Ad spend is paid directly by you to the ad platform, so there are no hidden advertising costs inside the website package.
Local Business website builds include SEO setup and a 1 month check-in to make sure your launch basics are in place. After that, you can continue with ongoing SEO from €250/month depending on keyword competitiveness, website size, and desired results. SEO is an ongoing process, so continuing with regular optimization helps maintain and improve your search rankings over time. However, it's completely optional.
Yes. All websites include SSL certificates for secure connections, regular security updates, and protection against common vulnerabilities. I build sites to comply with GDPR data protection regulations, WCAG accessibility guidelines, and Irish business requirements. For payment processing, I use trusted gateways like Stripe — I never handle or store credit card details.
Absolutely. Custom Work starts from €149 and covers website updates, speed fixes, mobile improvements, SEO cleanup, accessibility improvements, security fixes, integrations, and design refreshes. Send your site for a free review before quoting.
Website build prices are separate from hosting. First Website Launch starts from €495 when the approved social media source is ready. Starter Enquiry Websites begin from €950, Lead-Generation Websites from €1,850, and Booking or Store Websites from €3,250. Add Basic Hosting at €90/year for most sites, or Store Hosting at €299.50/year for stores and heavier custom work. Optional email and domain registration are paid separately. All prices exclude VAT.
