At Opus Web Design we will endeavour to create a website that is right for your business while remaining within your budget.

We also offer website redesign and upgrade services for those looking to update their existing websites, this service starts from €499.

The length of time it takes to create a fully functional website is based on several factors. Custom design work can take anywhere from 1 - 8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and the number of revisions required. If the client has content such as text and images ready that can reduce the time-frame considerably. Of course, these are general guidelines, and at Opus Web Design we will make every effort to meet the timeframe you have in mind.

Yes and in fact, we encourage it. We build your website online from the off but it will remain hidden to search engines until it is ready to go live. So we provide you with unique link where you can track the progress of your site. During this phase, we encourage your feedback if something isn't quite the way you envisioned it or if you've changed your mind.

In general, we don't recommend the use of templates, but they may be appropriate in certain situations. For example, if you absolutely must have a site launched within the space of a few days, or if you are on an especially limited budget, a template might be an acceptable short-term solution. However, these instances should be the exception rather than the rule as a template is built for anyone to use which means it does not properly represent your company. Also, templates are never optimised for performance, accessibility or security meaning a template site will not be ranked well by search engines.

We give as much latitude as we possibly can with all minor revisions provided at no charge. After you've identified and agreed the general format and colour schemes of your preferred design, any major revisions may incur additional cost.
