Design Wave

Based on Thomas Street in Dublin 8, Design Wave is a small studio, with a team of between one and ten people, working with Irish businesses across the country rather than only in the capital. Clients cited include Sound Insurance and Total Expo, alongside other companies described as "real Irish businesses," pointing to a client base of small and medium-sized firms needing a website that also performs commercially. The studio describes itself as having designed for Irish businesses for over ten years and having worked with more than 500 clients nationwide, with in-person meetings available where useful and calls or reviews otherwise handled over video. Core services cover web design and development on WordPress, ecommerce builds on WooCommerce and Shopify, custom development for bespoke platforms and applications, SEO and digital marketing, branding and graphic design, and apps and AI consulting. Projects follow a fixed structure: scoping and an agreed price and timeline before work starts, a design phase requiring client approval before build, a build phase where SEO elements such as structure, speed and metadata are handled alongside development, and a launch stage that includes training and ongoing support. Pricing starts at €10,000 for a website, scales up to €100,000 or more for bespoke platforms, and ongoing SEO plans start from €295 per month. Build timelines typically run from two to twelve weeks depending on project size and content readiness. Additional listed services include video production, content marketing, digital strategy and pay-per-click and social media marketing.
