The verdict in three sentences
In Galway, having a website built for a luxury property agency costs roughly 6 000 to 20 000+ EUR from a local agency in 2026 and 2 500 to 9 000 EUR from a freelancer, with Dublin studios above that. Kolonell charges a fixed 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR, native copywriting and 3 months of support included (6 on Premium). Before signing, compare scope line by line: property pages, galleries, listing feed, guides, domain ownership and monthly fees.
This guide is for principals of prime agencies in the west of Ireland: Salthill homes, country properties around Oranmore, coastal houses in Connemara.
Why do Galway quotes vary so much?
The gaps come from scope: a five-page brochure site has little in common with a site that syncs listings, handles off-market homes and publishes regional guides. The ranges below are 2026 ballpark figures based on public rate cards of Irish agencies, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co and rates visible on Upwork.
| Option | 2026 ballpark | Typical timeline | Copywriting | Site ownership |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galway web agency | 6 000 to 20 000+ EUR | 8 to 14 weeks | often an add-on | check the contract |
| Dublin studio | 10 000 to 35 000+ EUR | 10 to 16 weeks | often included | check the contract |
| Freelancer | 2 500 to 9 000 EUR | 4 to 10 weeks | rarely included | varies |
| Kolonell Starter | 2 700 EUR | 3 to 4 weeks | native, included | domain and access are yours |
| Kolonell Growth | 4 500 EUR | 3 to 4 weeks | native, included | domain and access are yours |
| Kolonell Premium | 8 200 EUR | usually 4 to 6 weeks, written schedule | native EN/FR, included | domain and access are yours |
Also check whether VAT is included in each amount, and whether hosting depends on a monthly retainer.
What a prime agency website needs in the west of Ireland
Buyers at the top of the Galway market are often far away: the Irish diaspora in the US, British and European buyers looking for a second home, executives relocating for the medical devices industry. They discover homes remotely, which makes these essential:
- high-quality galleries and video, aerial views, floor plans and embedded virtual tours;
- regional guides (Salthill, Connemara, Oranmore, access to Shannon Airport, schools) that reassure buyers unfamiliar with the area;
- discreet enquiries for homes sold without public advertising, with a form that qualifies budget and timing;
- valuation requests to capture sellers;
- listing feeds: integration with your software or feeds to Daft.ie and MyHome.ie depends on your provider; a standard integration is planned, custom work is quoted on request;
- languages: English and French written natively; pages in Irish or other languages are supplied by you or quoted separately.
On compliance, factually: Irish property services providers must be licensed by the Property Services Regulatory Authority (PSRA), the BER energy rating appears in advertisements, and anti money laundering obligations apply. Forms fall under the GDPR and Ireland's Data Protection Act 2018. Your principal or compliance lead validates the content. This is not legal advice.
