Dara Phillips: Your first website, or a better one, built to win work online.
Your first website, or a better one, built to win work online.
I design, write and build fast, custom-coded websites, with the extras you need, like easy editing and online booking, built in rather than bolted on. Made to turn visitors into enquiries.
Recent work.

Five steps from brief to launch.
A clear, predictable process. You always know what happens next.
A clear start
Once we’ve agreed the scope, you get clear priorities, dates and the moments where you’ll review the work.
Manageable stages
Bigger projects are split into practical stages, so decisions stay small and you can always see progress.
Day 1
Understand the brief
We start with your business, your customers and the decisions the website needs to support, so we agree on the problem before I propose any solutions.
Week 1
Set the direction
Positioning, priorities, page structure and what success looks like are agreed up front, so every design and build decision has a clear reason behind it.
Weeks 2–4
Design and build
Design, copy and code come together in focused stages with regular check-ins, so your feedback stays useful and decisions stay easy.
Week 4
Review and refine
I test the key journeys, phone and desktop layouts, content, accessibility and speed together, then refine everything against the brief we agreed.
Week 5
Launch and improve
I handle the launch checks and go-live, then leave you with a simple plan for tracking results, keeping the site healthy and improving it over time.

Questions, answered.
Who will we work with?
Just me, Dara. You deal with one person from the first call to launch: design, copy and build. No account managers, no hand-offs.
Do you redesign existing websites?
Yes. Before changing anything, I look at how your current site really performs: where visitors drop off in your analytics, how fast it loads on a phone, how it scores for accessibility, and how easy it is to send an enquiry. You get a short summary of what to keep and what to fix, and I rebuild the rest around it.
Can you handle branding and website together?
Yes, for brand refreshes: tidying up your logo, choosing colours and type, and setting a tone of voice for your copy. For a full rebrand, we’ll scope it together on our call.
What is the typical investment for a project?
Packages start from €1,800 (Essentials), €4,000 (Professional), €5,800 (Premium). Ongoing care is optional, and you can build an estimate for your own project in a minute.
How long does a website project take?
Most sites take about five weeks from our first call to launch. Bigger sites take a little longer, and quick feedback on your side keeps things moving.
Let’s talk about your website.
A free 20-minute call. No pitch deck, no pressure. Just a chat about your business and what a new site could do for it.
