The verdict in three sentences
A pharmaceutical company in Dublin that wants a corporate site and a healthcare professional (HCP) portal should budget 40,000 to 100,000 EUR, for a 10 to 16 week project. The budget depends on the product catalog, authenticated access for doctors and pharmacists, and multi-market localization. Compliance with medicines advertising rules requires a strict separation between public information and promotional content reserved for HCPs.
What a pharmaceutical company website costs in Dublin in 2026
The prices below reflect the Dublin market for agencies serving life sciences. They are a 2026 order of magnitude.
| Item | Market range 2026 (EUR) | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Corporate site 15 to 25 pages, custom design | 20,000 to 40,000 | 6 to 8 weeks |
| Additional language versions (per language) | 3,000 to 8,000 | 2 weeks |
| Catalog of 150 products (forms, strengths, SmPC links) | 8,000 to 20,000 | 3 to 4 weeks |
| HCP portal with authentication and verification | 8,000 to 25,000 | 3 to 4 weeks |
| Pharmacovigilance: adverse event reporting form | 1,500 to 4,000 | 1 week |
| Secure hosting, WAF and backups | 300 to 1,000 per month | ongoing |
| Maintenance and catalog updates | 800 to 2,500 per month | ongoing |
A mid-size manufacturer with 150 products and an HCP portal usually lands between 60,000 and 100,000 EUR. The low end corresponds to a corporate site without a gated area.
What regulation requires of the site
In Ireland, advertising prescription-only medicines to the public is prohibited, promotional content must match the authorized Summary of Product Characteristics, and the HPRA oversees compliance alongside the industry Code of Practice. GDPR applies to every HCP account. Here is how it translates into the brief.
| Requirement | On the site | Risk if missing |
|---|---|---|
| Promotional content reserved for HCPs | Authenticated portal, verification against professional registers | Unlawful advertising to the public |
| Content consistent with the SmPC | Product pages limited to approved indications | Content withdrawal, regulatory action |
| Non-promotional public area | Corporate, manufacturing, quality, careers | Blurred line between information and promotion |
| Pharmacovigilance | Reporting form and contact for safety officer | Breach of vigilance obligations |
| GDPR | Consent, records, privacy notice, data processing agreements | Fines up to 4% of global turnover |
| Internal approval | Medical and regulatory sign-off workflow before publishing | Publication of an incorrect claim |
The approval workflow is often underestimated: plan 2 to 3 weeks of medical, legal and regulatory review in the schedule.
Architecture and hosting
The structure that works: corporate home with key figures (plants, volumes, headcount), quality and certifications pages (GMP, ISO), one page per therapeutic area, a catalog filterable by molecule, class and form, a careers page and an HCP portal accessible after verified registration. Hosting should be EU-based and GDPR compliant, with SSL, a web application firewall and daily backups. Each language version needs localized regulatory text, not just translation.

Illustrative scenario: Siobhan, marketing director at a generics manufacturer in Dublin, runs 25 medical reps who hand out printed product sheets, at about 40,000 EUR a year for printing and updates. She invests 80,000 EUR in a site with catalog and HCP portal. If 3,000 doctors and pharmacists register in year one and each rep saves 2 hours a week on finding and sending information, that is about 2,400 hours a year. Added to the 40,000 EUR printing savings, and valuing rep time at 45 EUR per hour (about 108,000 EUR), the investment pays back within the first year, before any gain in prescriber perception.
