Web design · Kilkenny, Co. Kilkenny

Web design in Kilkenny.

We've done builds for Kilkenny businesses where the building is four hundred years old and the website was fourteen. The site is the part we can do something about — and usually faster than people expect.

Website design for businesses in Kilkenny.

Kilkenny is one of the few Irish towns that arrives at a website already understanding the value of presentation — the Castle, the Medieval Mile, the design and crafts heritage, the genuinely strong hospitality, food and visitor trade all set a bar. The catch is how often the website ends up the weakest part of a business that's otherwise quite considered: a slow, dated, hard-to-edit site sitting behind beautifully laid-out shops on the High Street, polished restaurants off the Parade, makers and gallery owners running out of the Design Centre and around it.

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 Kilkenny actually has.

  • Restaurants, cafés and bars in the city centre
  • Independent retailers and design-led shops
  • Craft, gallery and maker businesses
  • Hotels, B&Bs and visitor-stay operators
  • Tour operators and heritage businesses
  • Local trade and service businesses across the county
  • Professional firms (legal, accounting, advisory)

Areas we cover

Around Kilkenny, and across the South-East.

We work with businesses across Co. Kilkenny including Thomastown, Castlecomer, Callan, Graiguenamanagh and Bennettsbridge, 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 Kilkenny businesses.

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

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

Do you only work with businesses in Kilkenny?

No — rohcode is based in Waterford and works with businesses across Ireland. We have a dedicated Kilkenny page because it's one of the cities we hear from most. We work with Kilkenny and the surrounding the South-East area, including Thomastown, Castlecomer, Callan, 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 Kilkenny 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 Kilkenny website?

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