Web design · Cork, Co. Cork

Web design in Cork.

We're not a Cork agency — rohcode is based in Waterford and we work with Cork businesses the way most software work runs now. The build process is the same, the standard of work is the same, and the absence of city-centre overhead in your invoice is the difference.

Website design for businesses in Cork.

Cork has the second-largest urban population in Ireland and a distinct identity to match. The trade mix runs heavily through food and hospitality (some of the strongest in the country — the English Market, the wider Ballymaloe orbit, and the restaurant clusters around Princes Street and Oliver Plunkett Street), pharma and tech (Apple in Hollyhill, the broader corridor from Blackpool out to Carrigtwohill), tourism and visitor operators across West Cork, and a deep network of small business and trade across the suburbs from Douglas to Ballincollig. Most Cork small businesses we hear from already have a website; the issue is usually that it was built on a platform they've since outgrown, runs slow on mobile, and is locked into a CMS that costs more to keep alive than it earns.

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.

  • Restaurants, cafés and food businesses across the centre and English Market area
  • Independent retailers and design-led shops
  • Hotels, B&Bs and short-stay rentals
  • Tourism and visitor operators across West Cork
  • Clinics, dentists and allied-health practices
  • Trade businesses across the city suburbs

Areas we cover

Around Cork, and across Munster.

We work with businesses across Co. Cork including Douglas, Ballincollig, Carrigaline, Midleton and Cobh, 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 Cork businesses.

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

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

Do you only work with businesses in Cork?

No — rohcode is based in Waterford and works with businesses across Ireland. We have a dedicated Cork page because it's one of the cities we hear from most. We work with Cork and the surrounding Munster area, including Douglas, Ballincollig, Carrigaline, 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 Cork 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 Cork website?

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