Website designer in Cork: web design for the city, the coast and the countryside
Cork is the largest county in Ireland by area, and its businesses range from city-centre offices to farms, fishing boats and food producers in West Cork. That spread is the reason a one-size-fits-all website does not work well in Cork.
Doran Digital plans, builds and looks after websites and web software for businesses of any size, by email and online from Newcastle West, Co. Limerick.
Four groups of Cork business a website can help
The city and the harbour
Cork city has the offices, shops and cafés you would expect of a big city, and there is industry around Cork Harbour, including pharmaceutical and technology work. Businesses here often compete for the same searches, so a site that states what you do and who for, in plain words, matters.
West Cork food and visitors
Food producers, cafés, galleries and guesthouses are a feature of West Cork, in places such as Clonakilty, Skibbereen and Bantry. They tend to sell to visitors in summer and to regular customers the rest of the year, so a site that stays up to date is worth more than one that is built and forgotten.
Harbour towns and tourism
Kinsale, Cobh and Youghal draw visitors to their harbours and history. Tour operators, restaurants, accommodation and shops all need clear opening times, menus and booking details.
Farms, markets and trades in the north and east
Mallow, Fermoy, Midleton and the towns of the north and east serve a farming hinterland, with agricultural suppliers, contractors and trades. For these businesses, a page that says what you do and where you work does most of the job.
Places in Cork we can work with
Cork city is the centre, with Cobh, Kinsale, Midleton, Youghal, Carrigaline, Mallow, Fermoy, Macroom, Bandon, Clonakilty, Skibbereen and Bantry among the better-known towns. A business in any of them, or in the villages in between, can work with us by email and online.
Cork is a big county, which is one reason working online suits it: nobody has to cross it to meet.

How a Cork project runs
It begins with an email to [email protected]. You tell us about the business and the website you have in mind, and we set up a brainstorm online. We then build a private draft, which you can click through and comment on, before it goes live.
If your idea goes beyond a website, say a booking system or a tool for staff, we can quote for custom software. VenueSpotter, a service we built and run, is an example of that kind of project.
If your business sits close to the edge of Cork, you might also want Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford. Or see the full list of counties.
