Freelance Web Developer · Drogheda, Co. Louth
Building Websites for Drogheda Businesses
I'm Leigh — a local developer giving Drogheda businesses the online presence they deserve. No big agency, no corporate fees. Just a neighbour who builds modern websites that bring in customers.
I only take on 1-2 projects at a time to give each one my full attention.
Why It Matters
97% of people Google a business before they visit
No matter how good you are, if you're not online, you're invisible to most of your potential customers. Sound familiar?
"I just use Facebook and Instagram"
Facebook and Instagram decide who sees your posts. Google doesn't. A website puts you in front of people actively searching for what you offer — not just whoever the algorithm feels like showing today.
"Your business closes. Your website doesn't."
While you're sleeping, your website is answering questions, showing off your work, and collecting enquiries. It's the only part of your business that never clocks off.
"People search. Are you showing up?"
When someone types "barber Drogheda" or "electrician Louth" into Google, they get a list. A website puts you on that list. Without one, you're not even in the running.
Your business is good. Your online presence should show that.
A website isn't just a box to tick — it's your best salesperson, working 24/7, never taking a day off.
What I Do
Everything Your Business Needs Online
No jargon, no upsells. Just a great website that brings in customers, shows up on Google, and makes your business look as good online as it is in person.
Custom Websites
A modern, mobile-friendly website built around your business. Whether you're a barber, restaurant, shop, or tradesperson — I'll make sure you look the part online.
SEO & Local Visibility
What's the point of a great website if nobody finds it? I'll make sure your business shows up when people in Drogheda search for what you offer.
Ongoing Support
I don't just build it and disappear. Need something updated, changed, or fixed? I'm a text or call away. No ticket systems, no waiting around.
Not sure what you need? No worries.
Let's figure it out togetherHow It Works
Simple as 1, 2, 3
No complicated process, no long contracts. Here's how we go from idea to a live website.
We Have a Chat
Tell me about your business and what you need. No tech talk, no pressure. Just a friendly conversation over a coffee or a call to figure out what would work best for you.
I Build It
I design and develop your website, keeping you in the loop with updates along the way. You'll get to see it and give feedback before anything goes live.
You Launch
Your website goes live and starts working for your business. I'll make sure everything is running smoothly and I'm always a text away if you need anything.
Local Projects
Drogheda Businesses I've Worked With
Real websites for real businesses in the town. Every project is built to bring in more customers and put Drogheda on the map.

Aaron O'Brien Stained Glass
A one page e-commerce site for a Drogheda stained glass artist selling handcrafted pieces. Stripe payments, product variations, and delivery options — built and launched in time for Christmas.
New Drogheda Restaurant
Currently working with a local restaurant in Drogheda to build them a modern online presence. More details coming soon.
Could this be you?
I only take on one new project at a time. There's currently one spot open — if you've been thinking about getting a website, now is a good time to reach out.

Owner, Outlines Hair Studio, Drogheda
“I got Leigh to build me a site I needed before a big sale coming up to Christmas. I'm not very computer savvy — Leigh did everything. Walked me through the steps I needed, like setting up payments. Had it up and running in time for the product launch. Very successful. Would recommend him to everyone and will be using him again.”

A Drogheda Local Building for the Town
I'm Leigh — a Drogheda local on a mission to give businesses in this town the online presence they deserve. I build modern, fast websites that actually bring in customers.
By day, I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Udemy, building products used by millions. That means when I build your website, you're getting the same quality as a top tech company — at a local, friendly rate.

The Mission
Drogheda is full of brilliant businesses — barbers, restaurants, shops, tradespeople — but too many of them don't have a proper online presence. I want to change that.
I'm not a big agency. I'm one person who builds websites on evenings and weekends because I genuinely enjoy it and I want to see this town thrive online. Every business I work with is another step towards putting Drogheda on the digital map.
