About Us
Art + Code
Our aim is to bring skills from the world of visual art together with web development to produce beautiful, unique websites.
Tired of cookie cutter websites that all look the same? We're the agency for you.
We work closely with clients to achieve whatever vision they have in mind, including creating custom UI elements to better reflect your brand and personality.
Accessibility
We believe the internet is for everyone. We build all our projects with accessibility in mind, every step of the way.
We believe this is the right thing to do from an ethical and design standpoint, but also that there is a strong business case for designing for all potential customers for your site.
With no compromise on aesthetics, we'll deliver a product that is truly welcoming for everyone, with no extra costs for including accessibility.
If you have an existing site we're happy to audit for accessibility, and work with your team to solve any issues that we find.
Frequently Asked Questions
What services do you offer?
We offer services in two main areas - web design and web accessibility. In terms of web design we can create bespoke websites from scratch, or work with platforms like Wordpress and Shopify. We're also happy to work with existing sites that need maintenance or upgrading.
All of our sites are created with accessibility in mind and we also offer accessibility auditing services for existing websites.
What accessibility services do you offer?
All of our projects are built and tested for accessibility, and to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards. We will never charge an extra fee for incorporating accessibility into a build. If we create your website accessibility is part of the package.
We also offer web accessibility auditing. If you have an existing site or app we'll take a look, test and help you get it up to scratch.
Accessibility is becoming more and more important as time goes on. All commercial websites within the EU will need to meet accessibility standards by law by 2025. If it's something you've been meaning to do but haven't now's the time to get in touch.
Do you work with content management systems like Wordpress, Shopify, or Ecwid?
Yes, we're happy to build sites with Wordpress, Shopify, or Ecwid.
If you're someone who wants to update your site frequently yourself we recommend Wordpress. We're also happy to work with existing Wordpress sites that need updating or maintenance.
If you're interested in E-commerce we recommend Shopify or Ecwid.
At the moment we don't work with Squarespace, due to problems with accessibility and the limited ability to make necessary adjustments. We hope in the future Squarespace will embrace accessibility and incorporate it into their product, but at the moment accessibility is poor.
How long will it take to create a new website?
The timeline can vary, based on the complexity of the project and the availability of the client. Things like availability with feedback and how soon content is ready can affect the speed of completion. Functionality is also a factor - more complex projects take more time.
Once we have some details from you about the nature of the project we can give you a better idea of how long it will take.
Do I need to be local to work with you?
No, we're based in Galway in the west of Ireland but we're happy to work with customers remotely, via zoom, email and phone.
What are your prices?
Due to the range of services we offer we need a few details about your project before we can give you an exact cost. Price depends on the complexity and length of time it will take to complete the project.
Get in touch on our contact page, giving a few details of what you're looking for and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
What will you need from me?
It depends what type of website it is. We'll need images so think about what you would like to use - of you, of your team, of your workplace, etc. We'll need text, for example information about you, your business, or your work. If we're working on an existing website we'll need the login details.
What if I don't want to manage the website myself?
We can manage the website for you if you prefer. We offer maintenance packages, based on your individual needs.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes, if you want to update it yourself we'll use wordpress to build it. For E-commerce we can use either Ecwid or Shopify. If you need training on updating your website we're happy to provide that too.
