The verdict in three sentences
In 2026 an aesthetic clinic in Galway should expect roughly 6 000 to 20 000+ EUR for a website from an Irish agency and 2 500 to 8 000 EUR from a freelancer, with the final figure driven by the number of treatment pages, the booking setup and whether a photo shoot is bundled. Kolonell's fixed prices are 2 700 EUR (Starter), 4 500 EUR (Growth) and 8 200 EUR (Premium), with native English copy, delivery in 3 to 4 weeks and a project manager on Irish time. The honest trade-off: a Galway agency can walk into your clinic for a shoot and a workshop, a remote studio gives you a lower fixed price and a written scope.

Where do Galway quotes land?
Galway is a smaller market than Dublin, so many clinics compare a local agency with Dublin studios and freelancers across Connacht. The ranges below are 2026 ballpark figures taken from the public rate cards of Irish agencies, Clutch.co profiles listing minimum project sizes, and freelance platform rates (Upwork, Malt). They vary with scope and are not quotes.
| Supplier type | 2026 ballpark | Usual timeline | Typical inclusions | After launch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galway agency | 6 000 to 18 000 EUR | 6 to 12 weeks | Workshop, design, build, optional shoot | Monthly care plan |
| Dublin agency | 8 000 to 20 000+ EUR | 8 to 14 weeks | Strategy, design, build, content support | Retainer |
| Connacht freelancer | 2 500 to 8 000 EUR | 4 to 10 weeks | Design and build, copy usually yours | Hourly |
| Kolonell Starter | 2 700 EUR | 3 to 4 weeks | Essential pages, native copy, consultation request form | 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, written schedule at kickoff | Larger site, advanced design, EN/FR option | 6 months |
The details of each tier are on our international website offer.
What does the price difference actually buy?
A local agency is not overpriced by default. Part of its fee pays for things a remote studio does not provide in the same way.
| What you get | Galway agency | Freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-site photography | Often available | Rarely | Not included: you supply images or book a local photographer |
| In-person workshops | Yes | Sometimes | No; Google Meet at a time that suits you |
| Copywriting | Varies, often extra | Usually yours | Native English included |
| Fixed price | Sometimes, often plus hourly changes | Varies | Yes, per tier |
| Weekly written update | Varies | Varies | Yes |
| Domain in your name | Check the contract | Check the contract | Always, all access handed over |
| Irish-language pages | Possible locally | Possible | Translations supplied by you or quoted separately |
If your clinic values Irish-language pages or wants a monthly shoot for social media, a Galway agency may justify its premium. If you mainly need a clean, fast site with a clear treatment catalogue, the gap is hard to justify.
What a Galway aesthetic clinic site must get right
Your patients are local professionals, students, visitors in summer and people from across the west who travel in for a consultation. Most arrive from Instagram or Google Maps on a phone.
- Treatment pages only for treatments you perform, written factually: what it involves, who performs it, the consultation that comes first, aftercare.
- Practitioner credentials: qualifications and registration with the Medical Council or the relevant nursing or dental regulator.
- Booking via your current software, embedded or linked; a custom integration is quoted on request.
- Consultation and medical history forms built on a provider and process suited to GDPR, since health data is special category data.
- Before and after images only with written consent and within the advertising rules that apply in Ireland: the ASAI code, consumer protection law enforced by the CCPC and national rules restricting the advertising of prescription-only medicines.
- Google Business Profile consistency so your address, hours and phone number match everywhere.
- Accessibility aligned with WCAG 2.1 AA, noting that the European Accessibility Act applies from 28 June 2025 to certain services.

Mini case study
Illustrative example, not a real client. Niamh owns an aesthetic clinic in Galway city with a second treatment room in Salthill, a doctor and a dermal therapist. She wants 24 pages, two locations and an aftercare hub. A local agency quotes 15 000 EUR including a shoot. Kolonell Premium costs 8 200 EUR; adding a local photographer at about 1 000 EUR brings her to 9 200 EUR. The difference is 15 000 minus 9 200, that is 5 800 EUR, with 6 months of support on the Kolonell side. She pays 4 100 EUR at kickoff and 4 100 EUR at delivery, by bank transfer or Wise.
