Nore Digital

Web design · Co. Laois

Web design in Laois, by someone who's actually in Laois.

Search for a web designer in Laois and you'll find agencies from Drogheda, Cork and Dublin with a “Laois” page each. Nore Digital is one person, Shane Burke, a software engineer with 20 years' experience, working from Abbeyleix, Co. Laois. When you ring, I answer. When it helps to sit down at your premises with a laptop, I call out.

The work is two things. Looking after what you already have — the domain, the business email, the certificate, the hosting, the backups, the small changes — for a fixed monthly fee. And building a fast, modern site when one is needed, at a fixed price you see before any work starts.

Where I work

Across Laois, in person when it helps.

Abbeyleix is in the middle of the county: Portlaoise is a quarter of an hour, Durrow ten minutes, and nowhere in Laois is much more than forty. The practice is deliberately small — a handful of businesses, each one properly looked after — so being able to call in is part of the service rather than an exception to it.

What's different

Working with one local engineer.

You won't get a sales call

I don't cold-call, cold-email or walk in. If you ask for the free health check, you get a written answer, and the next step is yours. Nobody is on commission here.

An engineer, not a template

Booking systems, quote forms and payment pages are built in from the start, by someone who has spent two decades building software professionally. When something needs to work correctly, it does.

The boring things, minded

Domains lapse, email drifts into spam, certificates expire on some phones and not others. The care plan exists so that none of it is your problem, and so one person is responsible when it is.

Prices in writing, before anything starts

The care plan is €75 a month, flat. Builds are fixed-price tiers, quoted up front, and you see a working version of your site before you commit. No hourly billing.

Honest about what you need

The health check will sometimes say the site you have is fine and the domain just needs minding. That's a real outcome, and it's said plainly.

Not everything, on purpose

I don't sell ad management or monthly SEO retainers. If that's what your business genuinely needs, I'll say so and point you at people who do it well.

Start with the free check

Send your web address, or just the name of the business, and I'll check ten points across your whole web presence — domain, email, certificate, speed, search visibility, backups and more — and send you the findings in plain English. Free, no obligation, and the note is yours whoever does the work.
