The verdict in three sentences
A website for an aesthetic clinic in Cork typically costs 6 000 to 25 000+ EUR with an Irish agency and 2 500 to 9 000 EUR with a freelancer in 2026, depending on how many treatment pages, forms and integrations you need. Kolonell delivers a comparable clinic site for a fixed 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR, written in native English, run by a project manager on Irish time and live in 3 to 4 weeks. Choose a Cork agency if a bundled on-site shoot and face-to-face workshops matter more to you than the price gap; choose a remote studio if your scope is clear and you want a fixed figure.
This is a buyer's guide focused on cost only. If you run a broader medical practice rather than an aesthetic clinic, our private clinic cost guide for Cork is the better read.
How much are Cork clinics quoted in 2026?
Cork agencies usually price a little below Dublin, but a clinic site with 15 to 25 pages, a booking embed and strong photography still sits in the middle or upper part of the range. These are 2026 ballpark figures based on the public rate cards of Irish agencies, Clutch.co profiles that state minimum project sizes and freelance platform rates (Upwork, Malt). Scope moves them a lot.
| Option | 2026 ballpark | Timeline | What is normally included | Aftercare |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cork or Dublin agency | 6 000 to 25 000+ EUR | 8 to 14 weeks | Discovery workshops, design, build, sometimes photography | Monthly care plan, extra cost |
| Munster freelancer | 2 500 to 9 000 EUR | 4 to 10 weeks | Design and build; copy often yours | Hourly, on request |
| DIY platform | Subscription plus your time | Variable | Templates and hosting | Help centre |
| Kolonell Starter | 2 700 EUR | 3 to 4 weeks | Essential pages, native copy, contact and consultation request | 3 months |
| Kolonell Growth | 4 500 EUR | 3 to 4 weeks | Page per treatment, practitioner profiles, booking embed | 3 months |
| Kolonell Premium | 8 200 EUR | 4 to 6 weeks with a written schedule | Extended catalogue, advanced design, EN/FR bilingual option | 6 months |
Hourly rates commonly published by Irish agencies range roughly from 70 to 130 EUR, so revision rounds and copywriting billed by the hour are where a quote grows. The fixed scope of each tier is set out in our international website offer.
Which features does a Cork aesthetic clinic site need?
Your patients come from the city, the county and often from Instagram. They want to know what a treatment involves, who will perform it and how to book a consultation, all on a phone in under a few seconds.
- One page per treatment you offer, written factually: what it is, who performs it, consultation first, aftercare and recovery notes.
- Practitioner profiles showing qualifications and registration with the Medical Council or the relevant nursing or dental regulator.
- Booking through the software you already use, linked or embedded; a custom connection is quoted on request.
- Consultation and medical history forms handled by a provider and process suited to GDPR, because health data is special category data.
- Before and after photos only with written patient consent and within the advertising rules that apply. The ASAI code, consumer protection rules overseen by the CCPC and national rules on advertising prescription-only medicines all shape how injectable and laser pages are written.
- Accessibility: the European Accessibility Act applies from 28 June 2025 to certain services; WCAG 2.1 AA is the practical reference we build to.
Your clinic must confirm which rules apply to it. This article is not legal advice.

Red flags when reading a quote
- No page list, so you cannot tell whether 8 or 25 treatment pages are included.
- Copywriting excluded without saying so.
- Domain or hosting held in the agency's name.
- Promised first-page rankings, or copy that claims guaranteed results, painless procedures or the best clinic in Cork.
- No answer on where form data, including health information, is stored.
Mini case study
Illustrative example, not a real client. Aoife owns an aesthetic clinic in Cork city centre with a doctor and two aesthetic nurses. A Cork agency quotes 11 500 EUR for a 16 page site with a photo shoot and a monthly care plan. With Kolonell Growth at 4 500 EUR and a half-day local shoot at around 800 EUR, her upfront outlay is 5 300 EUR. The gap on the build is 11 500 minus 5 300, so 6 200 EUR, before comparing ongoing costs on written quotes. Payment is split 2 250 EUR at kickoff and 2 250 EUR at delivery, by bank transfer or Wise.
FAQ
What does an aesthetic clinic website cost in Cork?
As a 2026 ballpark, Irish agencies quote 6 000 to 25 000+ EUR and freelancers 2 500 to 9 000 EUR. Kolonell charges a fixed 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR.
Do you write the treatment pages?
Yes, native English copy is included in every tier. Your medical lead should review it, which usually takes about 1 week, because the clinic remains responsible for advertising compliance.
Can we keep our booking software?
Yes. Growth at 4 500 EUR embeds or links the tool you use today, and a custom integration is quoted on request.
Is the time difference a problem?
No. The team is based in Senegal on GMT, the same time as Ireland in winter and one hour behind in summer, and your project manager sends a written update every week.
What happens after launch?
You get 3 months of support, 6 on Premium. Maintenance after that is quoted, and you keep the domain and every access.
Let's scope your project. Send us your treatment list, team and booking tool, and we will come back with a tier, a fixed price in EUR and a launch date within 3 to 4 weeks. Request your free quote or see the international offer.
