Brainstorm*
High-end website design for Cork businesses.
Strategic Clarity. Senior-led Execution. Design systems built to scale.
A premium website is not decoration. It is a positioning tool. It should communicate value quickly, build trust without effort, and convert the right visitors into enquiries.
Most websites fail for simple reasons: the offer is unclear, the structure is messy, and the conversion path is an afterthought. We fix the fundamentals first, then design the details around them.
Brainstorm is a senior-led design practice delivering website design in Cork for ambitious SMEs, scale-ups, and established firms. We build brand and web systems in WordPress, Framer, and WooCommerce that feel considered, perform properly, and scale cleanly.
Website design in Cork, built for credibility and performance
Most Cork business websites suffer from the same issues: generic structure, unclear messaging, and a design that looks “fine” but fails to persuade. The site exists, but it does not pull its weight.
We build Cork website design that works like a commercial asset:
Clear positioning and message hierarchy
Premium design systems, not one-off pages
Fast, mobile-first UX and clean UI detail
SEO-ready architecture and technical foundations
A build your team can update without breaking it
If you want website design Cork businesses trust, and a site that looks expensive because it is built properly, we should talk.
The problem with typical “local” web design
Many local agencies operate on a volume model: account layers, junior production, and theme modifications. It can produce a brochure site, but it often fails when the goal is credibility, growth, and premium perception.
Common outcomes:
A template look that blends in with competitors
Weak information architecture that confuses users and search engines
Slow pages due to bloated stacks and patchwork plugins
Content that describes services but never makes a case
A site that is painful to evolve without a rebuild
Brainstorm offers a different tier of service. Senior-led direction, fewer handovers, and a website built as a system.

Why Brainstorm?
You are not hiring a production line. You are hiring a senior-led studio with a boutique delivery model and enterprise-level standards.
Senior-led delivery
No account managers. No junior-only builds. You work directly with the Creative Director and technical leads.
Premium by design, not by adjectives
Premium is the result of decisions: typographic discipline, layout consistency, performance, content hierarchy, and details that hold up under scrutiny.
Built for longevity
We build stable systems that scale. Your site should not be fragile. It should be maintainable, editable, and easy to evolve.
Our process: Brand. Build. Boost.
A clean process reduces risk, speeds up decisions, and creates better outcomes.
Brand
We define positioning, message hierarchy, and design direction. This stage removes ambiguity and improves conversion later.
Build
We design and develop the site as a system: components, templates, performance, SEO foundations, accessibility checks, and CMS setup.
Boost
We implement measurement, improve clarity, and provide a refinement roadmap so the site gets better after launch, not just on launch day.

Most agencies bury you in account managers and juniors. We don't. Brainstorm is a senior-led studio where you work directly with the Creative Director and technical leads. We strip away the bloat, the jargon, and the wasted cycles to deliver Limerick website design standards that compete globally, not just locally.
We work with ambitious leaders, regardless of size. While our systems are robust enough for enterprise infrastructure, we frequently partner with Irish SMEs who need to punch above their weight. Whether you need a local Limerick website design partner or a global platform, the standard of craft remains the same.
Yes. In fact, this is our sweet spot. A website is only as good as the brand system behind it. By handling both the Identity (Strategy, Visuals, Voice) and the Build (Web, UX, CMS), we ensure total coherence. You get a unified system, not two disjointed projects stitched together.
Absolutely. We don't build "black boxes." Whether we use WordPress, Webflow, or Framer, we engineer the back-end for non-technical users. You will receive full training and a library of custom video tutorials, giving your marketing team total autonomy to publish content without breaking the design.
We don't just "skin" a theme. We build high-performance sales engines on WooCommerce and Shopify. We focus on the commercial metrics: reducing cart abandonment, optimizing mobile checkout, and increasing average order value. It’s design that pays for itself.
Yes. We build with a "Technical SEO First" methodology. This means clean code, fast load times (Core Web Vitals), and proper semantic structure. For local clients, we implement specific strategies to help you capture high-intent terms like "Limerick website design" alongside your broader industry keywords.
Investment varies entirely by scope. A brochure site has different requirements than a complex enterprise platform, so we don't use "cookie-cutter" pricing. Instead, we encourage you to Request a Quote so we can assess your specific needs. We will then provide a detailed, fixed-fee proposal. No hourly billing. No surprise costs.
Momentum is key. A typical brochure site or brand refresh takes 6–8 weeks. Complex e-commerce or platform builds take 10–12 weeks. We work in sprints to ensure you see progress weekly, avoiding the "black hole" of silence common with other providers.
Content is often the biggest bottleneck. We can work with what you have, but for a premium result, we recommend pairing our design with professional copy. We can collaborate with your internal team to structure the messaging or bring in our trusted copywriting partners to sharpen your story.
We operate as a boutique studio to protect the quality of our work, meaning we limit the number of active projects we take on. We are typically booked 4–6 weeks in advance. If you have a critical launch date, please contact us early so we can secure your slot in the production schedule.
