About

Built locally. Coded properly.

My goal is simple. Help local businesses get a professional, affordable website online, without the prices a big web design company would charge.

Education
Leaving Cert, Class of 2026

Salesian Secondary College Pallaskenry.
Honours Computer Science, Computer Science Subject Award

I started building websites because I saw how many local shops, trades and services in the area either had no website at all, or one that hadn't been touched in years. Most can't justify the cost a big agency charges for a handful of pages.

So I do things a bit differently. Clean, modern, mobile friendly sites at a fair price, built and looked after by one person who actually lives here and answers the phone.

What I Do

Services & technical skills

Business Websites

Full sites built around what your customers actually need to find.

Info & Contact Pages

Clear opening hours, location and a way for people to reach you.

Mobile-Friendly Design

Looks right and works properly on a phone, which is where most visitors will land.

Updates & Maintenance

Prices change, hours change. I keep your site current as your business moves.

Custom HTML Builds

No bloated templates. My websites are hand coded pages that load fast.

Databases

Booking systems, request forms and stored data when your site needs to do more.

JavaScript

Interactive elements that make a site feel alive, not just a digital leaflet.

Layout & Design

Considered structure and visual hierarchy, not just text on a white page.

Me vs The Competition

What you're actually paying for

A look at how a hand coded site compares to a traditional agency build or a DIY platform like Wix or Squarespace.

michealdev.ie
0.2–0.5s
Static HTML/CSS with no database calls, loading near-instantly.
Agencies
2–4s
Heavy backend frameworks and unoptimised assets drag on mobile.
Wix / Squarespace
3–7s+
Bloated with tracking scripts and generic theme code.
michealdev.ie
€10–20/yr
Just the domain — hosting on GitHub Pages is free, permanently.
Agencies
€200–500+/yr
Recurring hosting, server and support retainers.
Wix / Squarespace
€180–300+/yr
Locked into ongoing monthly platform subscriptions.
michealdev.ie
€300–500
Professional-grade build at entry-level freelance pricing.
Agencies
€1,500–3,500+
Pricing reflects agency overhead as much as the build itself.
Wix / Squarespace
"Free" + your time
No upfront fee, but hours of your own labour to build and maintain it.
michealdev.ie
Minimal attack surface
No database, no plugins, no login page — little for attacks to target.
Agencies
Ongoing burden
Plugins and themes need constant updates or things break.
Wix / Squarespace
Locked-in
Closed platforms make it hard to export your site or take your code elsewhere.
michealdev.ie
Lean & direct
Formspree routes submissions straight to your inbox — no bloat.
Agencies
Often overbuilt
Heavy CRM integrations you may not need.
Wix / Squarespace
Generic
Template contact forms that can feel impersonal to visitors.
