Smiling Spiders

With offices in Dublin and Sligo, Smiling Spiders is a small website design and development agency working with individuals, colleges and businesses across Ireland. The team has built sites for clients such as holiday accommodation providers, solicitors' firms, medical aesthetics practices, artists, food shops and professional associations, indicating a client base that spans small local businesses, sole traders and organisations needing both informational and e-commerce websites. The agency's core service is building responsive, modern websites on WordPress, incorporating Google Analytics, social media integration and SEO considerations at the design stage. Beyond the initial build, it offers ongoing website maintenance plans covering updates, security, backups and SSL certificates, along with hosting on its own servers so clients do not have to manage speed, capacity or technical issues themselves. Its SEO service is split into local SEO for businesses targeting a nearby customer base and broader SEO for those with national reach, aimed at improving rankings for keywords customers search for. Additional listed services include e-commerce set-up for online selling, Google Business Page support, domain registration, blog content writing, and WordPress training so clients can update their own sites. Smiling Spiders also assists with website recovery in cases where a site goes down or is hacked, and offers backup and restore services as part of its wider maintenance offering.
