Website Design for Enterprise and Public Sector Organisations in Ireland

What is a website design agency?

A website design agency plans, designs, and builds websites that align with your brand, audience, and business goals, covering everything from information architecture and UX to visual design and front-end build. Arekibo has designed and built websites for enterprise and public sector organisations since 2002, working across Sitefinity, Sitecore, and WordPress.

Why choose a website design agency in Dublin?

A Dublin-based website design agency understands the local market while also working with the compliance and accessibility standards expected of Irish and EU organisations. Arekibo is based in Dublin and has delivered website design projects for enterprise, public sector, and government clients across Ireland, the UK, Europe, and the USA since 2002.

Do you provide website design services across Ireland?

Yes, Arekibo provides website design services across Ireland, as well as the UK, Europe, and the USA. Our team works remotely and on-site with clients outside Dublin, using the same design, UX, and development process regardless of location.

What does a website redesign involve?

A website redesign typically starts with a review of your existing site's content, structure, and performance, followed by updated information architecture, visual design, and a rebuild on your chosen platform. Arekibo's redesign process includes stakeholder research, competitor analysis, and testing to ensure the new site improves on the one it replaces rather than simply changing its appearance.

What's the difference between website design and website development?

Website design covers the user experience, visual design, and information architecture of a site, while website development covers the technical build, including the CMS, integrations, and back-end functionality. Arekibo provides both as part of an integrated process. If you're specifically looking for build, integration, or platform work rather than design, see our website development services.

We see your agency is based in Dublin, Ireland. Can you deliver a website design project if we are in the UK?

Absolutely. Our headquarters are in Dublin, but our delivery team is spread across Europe, servicing clients with website design, UX design, web development, SEO strategy, CMS implementation, and our ArekiboCare managed service platform. We work remotely and onsite as needed.

How long does it take to design and build a website?

Timelines vary based on project size and complexity. A typical corporate website takes 12 to 16 weeks from kickoff to launch. More complex platforms or integrations may require additional time. We establish realistic milestones and keep you informed throughout.

What do I need to provide before the project starts?

We guide you through everything. We will need access to your stakeholders and any existing research, analytics, and preparatory work. Do not worry, we work with your team to prepare and guide you through our discovery phase.

Do we work directly with your website designers and UX team or through an account manager?

Yes, you work directly with the project team. We believe the best products are delivered when communication is straightforward, and you build relationships with the designers, developers, and strategists working on your project. This applies to web strategy, information architecture, development, SEO, analytics, and more.

Do you also offer branding along with website design services?

We take two routes. If you have an established brand with guidelines, we harness and extend it digitally. If you have a logo and preferences but limited creative assets, our experience design and UX teams evolve a digital identity that you can later take to brand consultants. Both approaches deliver a cohesive, professional result.

What content management systems (CMS) do you use?

We design and develop on best-in-class CMS and digital experience platforms (DXP), including Sitefinity, Sitecore, and WordPress. These platforms empower your teams to easily add or edit pages, upload media, and manage content independently.

Do you provide content writing, or must I supply the copy?

We support you either way. If you already have content, we help refine, structure, and optimise it for SEO, and migrate it to your new platform. We also offer professional copywriting and content design services to develop messaging that resonates with your audience and aligns with your goals.

Do you provide training on updating and managing the website after launch?

Yes. We prepare detailed training documentation and deliver in-person or online training sessions to your team. We start with the basics and progress to advanced topics like creating campaigns and managing platform features. Ongoing support is available through ArekiboCare.

What happens if I need new features in the future?’

We build your website on scalable platforms that your team can manage independently. When you need additional functionality, such as CRM integration or new service modules, we scope, design, and develop the features without disrupting your existing site.

Will my website be mobile-friendly?

Yes. All of our websites are fully responsive. We design and test across browsers, devices, and screen sizes to ensure a consistent, accessible experience on desktop, tablet, and mobile.

How much does a new website cost?

Costs vary depending on your requirements, including design complexity, content volume, integrations, and platform choice. Once we understand your scope, we provide a clear, transparent quote tailored to your needs.

Will my site be optimised for search engines (SEO) and AI search?

Yes. We follow technical SEO and AI SEO best practices, including fast load times, clean code, structured data, and mobile optimisation. If you need deeper guidance, we also offer SEO strategy, content optimisation, and keyword support.

Does your agency also provide website development?

Yes. We deliver end-to-end website design and development services to clients in Ireland, the UK, across Europe, and the US. We provide the complete solution, ensuring a tailored set of features and design aligned to your business needs.

Do you offer website hosting and support?

Yes. We offer website hosting and managed support through ArekiboCare, our dedicated managed service for web and digital. We help businesses of all sizes manage and support their online presence with 24/7/365 monitoring, security, and optimisation.
