Websites & digital solutions tailored to your business. Custom built in Galway, Ireland.

Over 70% of small businesses admit that they’ve paid for a site that doesn’t add any value or isn’t optimised for mobile.
Your website should help people find you and get in touch.
I build websites that help you:
We design and develop custom websites around your brand, goals and preferred look. Each site is built for mobile and desktop, with attention to page speed, responsive design and technical SEO. We connect your domain, set up Google Search Console and prepare the site for search indexing. Every project has an agreed fixed price and includes support after launch.
Explore website designWe turn your raw footage into social-first videos for platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. We handle the edit, captions and graphics, then prepare each video for the platform it’s intended for. We also create graphic design for social posts and other digital content.
Ask about video and designWe plan and manage social media content with you or on your behalf. This includes a content calendar, caption writing, post creation, scheduling and publishing through our social media tools. We agree the content with you before it goes live.

I founded Hiberno Creative to help businesses make a better first impression online.
Based in Galway, we design and build custom websites that look great, perform well and help businesses get found on Google. We also offer business automation and social media management to help clients grow online.
Our work spans a range of industries, including music, hospitality and the creative sector, with clients across Ireland, the UK and the US.
We take a personal approach to every project. You'll work directly with me, with care given to everything from design and performance to SEO and the finer details.
Discuss your projectAbsolutely. We build websites that help businesses manage their day-to-day work. This includes contact forms, online bookings, quote requests, payment systems and automated customer enquiries. We can also connect your website to the tools you already use.
Yes. We design and build e-commerce websites that make it easy for customers to browse products and shop online. From small online shops to larger stores with payment processing, stock management and custom features, we can build a system that suits your business.
Every website is different, but a standard 3 to 5-page business website can be surprisingly affordable. We also offer free hosting for eligible simple websites, meaning you pay once to get your website designed, built and live, with no ongoing hosting fees. More complex projects are quoted based on the features you need.
Simple websites can take as little as 1 to 2 weeks, while more complex builds typically take 3 to 6 weeks. We take on a limited number of projects at a time to ensure quick turnarounds and give each website the attention it deserves. Having your content, images and project brief ready before we begin helps keep everything on schedule.
Yes. SEO is part of our web design process. We build fast, mobile-friendly websites with clear page structures, relevant content and the technical foundations that help search engines find and understand your business. We also create XML sitemaps and other essential SEO files to support search engine indexing.
Yes. We keep up with developments in AI search and build websites with clear, accessible content that search engines and AI tools can understand. Alongside traditional SEO tools such as XML sitemaps, we can add files such as llms.txt to provide AI tools with a structured overview of your website. AI search is still evolving, and no single file guarantees visibility, but we aim to follow current best practices.
Yes. We can build automated systems around your website to save you time. These can include instant email responses, booking confirmations, customer enquiry tracking and follow-up messages. We can also connect your website to customer management software and other business tools.
Of course. If your current website looks outdated, loads slowly or isn't generating enquiries, we can help. We can redesign your website, improve its performance, update its content and add useful features. We'll also review your existing SEO to help protect your search visibility during the move.
Yes. We offer free hosting for many simple websites, depending on the build. More complex websites, such as e-commerce stores or sites with advanced features, may have ongoing hosting costs to cover additional resources, security and functionality. We'll explain any fees clearly before starting your project. Ongoing maintenance and support are also available.
Absolutely. Hiberno Creative is based in Galway, Ireland, but we work with businesses around the world. We've worked with clients in the UK, the US, across Europe and locally here in Galway. We manage projects remotely, making it easy to work together wherever you're based.
