Web design · Galway & Sligo
Custom-designed. Built to a high standard. Yours to keep.
Modern websites for Irish cafés, trades, guesthouses and local businesses. One-off fee, no monthly charges, and everything in your name from day one.
What we do
REBO Design builds bespoke websites for Irish small businesses, starting in Galway and Sligo. Cafés, restaurants, salons, trades, guesthouses, gyms and shops.
Every site is designed around your business, not squeezed into a template. It looks right on a phone, loads fast and shows up when locals and visitors search for what you do. Then it's handed over to you, outright.
Sound familiar?
You pay for the build, then keep paying every month to keep it online. After a few years you've paid for it many times over.
Drag-and-drop templates take your evenings and still look like a template. Customers notice, especially on their phones.
The person who built it holds the domain and the logins. When they go quiet, so does your website.
Who we build for
Every business gets found differently. Your site is designed around the one thing you most want visitors to do.
Menus, opening hours and table bookings, one tap away.
Tap-to-call, quote requests and the areas you cover.
Online booking, a clear price list and your best work.
Rooms, photos and direct bookings without the commission.
Timetables, memberships and a free trial sign-up.
What you stock, where you are and when you're open.
How it works
No contracts and no lock-in. The finished site is a folder of files that goes straight into your own hosting account, with you on the call.
Tell us about your business. Within 7 days we send a mockup of your homepage, designed for you. No cost, no commitment. If you don't like it, you walk away.
Once you're happy to go ahead, you get a working first draft within 72 hours of payment. We register the domain in your name and set up a free hosting account that belongs to you.
The finished site arrives as a folder. On a short guided call, you drag it into your own Netlify account and it goes live. That's the whole launch.
Domain, hosting and files are in your name. Nothing ever needs transferring, because it was never ours. Free fixes for 14 days, then only pay if you want changes.
A co-operative approach
The best small business websites come from both sides working as one team. You know your business and your customers. We know how to turn that into a site that works.
What makes your business different, the questions customers always ask, your photos, prices and opening hours.
Layout, writing help, photography advice, Google set-up and the technical side, done properly.
You see every stage, give feedback and sign off before anything goes live. No surprises, and nothing you didn't agree to.
What you get
Most of your customers will find you on a phone. It's built for that screen first, then scaled up.
Clean, lightweight code with no heavy page builder slowing it down.
Page titles, descriptions, local business details and your Google Business Profile linked up.
Enquiries land straight in your inbox, with spam filtering included.
One tap from a phone and they're ringing you. The shortest route to a booking.
A map that opens in their phone's navigation app, straight to your door.
Clear, easy to find, and simple to update for bank holidays.
A plain-English guide to your accounts, your files and how to get changes made.
Spot something after launch? We fix it, free, for two weeks.
Built for phones first
Someone searching "café near me" or "electrician Sligo" decides in seconds. Your site puts the answer right in front of them.
Be found by visitors
Every year, visitors drive the west coast looking for somewhere to eat, stay, shop or get help. They search on their phones, often in the moment. If your website answers them quickly, they come to you.
Who owns what
A general comparison. Every agency and builder is different, so ask yours these same questions.
| Question | REBO Design | Typical agency | DIY site builder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | None to us. You pay your domain directly. Netlify's free plan suits most small sites. | Often a monthly hosting or maintenance fee | A monthly or yearly subscription to stay online |
| Who owns the domain | You, in your name from day one | Sometimes registered by the agency | You, though it's often bought through the builder |
| Who can edit | Anyone you choose. Plain files any developer can work on | Usually the agency, on their system | You, inside that builder's editor |
| Lock-in | None. No contract, no retainer | Can be hard to move away | The design can't leave the platform |
| Time to launch | First draft within 72 hours of payment | Often weeks to months | However many evenings you have |
Work
Three complete concept sites in three different styles: minimal, technical and detailed. Open any of them on your phone and try it. Your free mockup will be designed around your own business.
Minimal
Concept · seaside café, Galway
Calm, airy and confident. Big type, lots of space and one clear thing to do: book a table.
Technical
Concept · electrical contractor, Sligo
Built to earn trust fast. Clear services, a step-by-step process and a quote form that tells you exactly what the job is.
Detailed
Concept · guesthouse, Connemara
Rich and inviting, with everything a visitor needs to book direct: rooms, breakfast, things to do and the practical details.
Concept designs only. These businesses are fictional and are not clients.
Does it pay for itself?
A €995 site is paid back by a small number of extra customers. After that, every booking, call or walk-in it brings is yours, with no monthly fee to us eating into it.
Guesthouse or B&B
1 night a week
Every room booked direct instead of through a booking site keeps around €16 of commission on a €110 night. About 60 direct nights covers the site.
Café
3 customers a week
On an €11 spend you keep about €7 after costs. Around 140 extra customers in a year covers the site.
Restaurant or pub
1 table a month
At €30 a head you keep about €20 after food costs. One extra table of four a month covers the site in a year.
Trades
7 jobs
If a typical job leaves you €150 profit, seven extra jobs from Google enquiries covers the site.
56 extra customers pays for your website. That's about 1 a week for one year.
Rough figures for illustration only. Every business is different, so try your own numbers above.
Pricing
No monthly fee to us. Ever. The final price depends on the detail and scope of your site, and you get a fixed quote before any work starts. Your only running costs are your domain, usually under €40 a year, and hosting, which is free on Netlify's starter plan for most small business sites.
Website package
From €995
One-off fee. Final price depends on detail and scope.
About
Robert Reynolds, founder
REBO Design is run by Robert Reynolds, an engineer based in the west of Ireland. Robert's background is mechanical commissioning on large data centre projects, where everything is tested, documented and handed over properly before anyone calls it finished.
We build websites the same way: a clear plan, tidy work and a proper handover, so you're never left wondering who has the keys. The answer is always you. You deal with Robert directly, from the first mockup to the launch call.
Not at all. We set everything up and walk you through the launch on a 30-minute call. If you can drag a folder from one window to another, you can launch your website.
Nothing to us. You pay for your domain directly to the registrar, usually under €40 a year. Hosting is free on Netlify's starter plan for most small business sites, and the account is in your name.
Fixes are free for the first 14 days after launch. After that, small changes like text, prices, hours or a photo swap are €50, and bigger changes are €150, always agreed before any work starts. Seasonal pages and sales are €150 each. Or ask any web developer you like: the files are plain and well organised.
The site is kept deliberately simple so there's nothing to log into, update or break. Send us your changes and we'll make them, or use any developer you like. Small updates like new prices or holiday hours are €50. For seasonal menus, events and offers, our €150 seasonal page service keeps it quick and affordable.
Small cards for your counter, tables or rooms. A customer taps their phone on the card and it opens your Google review page, so leaving a review takes seconds. There's a QR code on the back for older phones. We set them up for your business and post them to you. They cost €25 each, or 3 for €59, and you can order them with or without a website.
Your website keeps running. The domain, hosting and files are all in your name, so nothing depends on us. Your handover guide explains where everything is, and any developer can pick up the work.
There's nothing to leave. No contract, no retainer, no notice period. You already own it all.
The free mockup arrives within 7 days. Once you go ahead, you'll have a working first draft within 72 hours of payment. From there, launch day depends mostly on how quickly we get your photos, text and feedback, which is why we work on it together.
Tell us about your business and we'll send a free mockup within 7 days. No obligation.
