Introduction For architecture firms, a website is more than a digital brochure — it’s a portfolio, lead generator, and first impression all in one. Yet many Irish architecture firms are unsure how much it should cost to create a professional, high-converting website.
n this guide, we’ll break down the factors that influence the cost of an architecture website in Ireland, what you can expect to pay in 2025, and how to ensure you get value for your investment.
1. Scope of the Website
The size and complexity of your website directly affect the price. Consider:
Number of pages: Small firms may need 5–10 pages, larger firms 15–25 pages.
Portfolio pages: Showcasing multiple projects with case studies and high-quality images.
Blog/insights section: For SEO and thought leadership.
Tip: A website with a full portfolio and case studies will cost more but often generates higher-quality client enquiries.
2. Design Complexity
Architecture websites need to reflect your design ethos. Factors affecting cost include:
Custom vs template design: Custom designs cost more but make your firm stand out.
Interactive elements: Galleries, before-and-after sliders, 3D renders.
Branding integration: Colours, typography, and style consistent with your firm’s identity.
A visually striking, custom architecture site may cost €2,500–€10,000+, depending on complexity.
3. Functionality and Features
Additional features add to the cost but can improve user experience and lead generation:
Contact forms with project enquiry options.
SEO optimisation (local keywords, meta data, image alt text).
Mobile-responsive design — critical for clients browsing on tablets and phones.
CMS (Content Management System) so you can update projects and blogs yourself.
4. Copywriting and Content
High-quality copy matters for both clients and SEO:
Writing project descriptions and service pages tailored to architects.
Blog posts to establish authority and improve search visibility.
Professional copywriting may cost €500–€1,500, depending on the number of pages and blog posts included.
5. Ongoing Maintenance & Hosting
After your site is built, consider the costs for:
Hosting: €15–€50 per month for reliable Irish hosting.
Website maintenance: Updates, security, backups, usually €50–€150 per month.
SEO updates: Optional monthly SEO packages if you want to rank faster.
6. Hidden Costs to Watch For
Stock images or photography.
Additional plugins or third-party tools.
Revisions beyond the agreed design scope.
Always clarify these in your quote to avoid surprises.
Conclusion
The cost of an architecture website in Ireland in 2025 varies depending on scope, design complexity, functionality, and ongoing maintenance. A professional, portfolio-focused site might range from €500 to €10,000+, but investing in a high-quality website can pay off by attracting more clients and winning premium projects.
