Websites and web apps

WordPress builds you can actually edit yourself, custom React and Node applications, and hosting that somebody actually watches. Built in Blackrock, Dublin.

What we build, and who it’s for

A website is often the first proof a stranger has that your business is real. We build it to hold up under that, then leave you able to run it.

TEJ is a Dublin studio doing web design and development for startups building a digital product, small businesses setting up or refreshing their online presence, e-commerce brands, gaming and entertainment companies, Web3 ventures, and creative agencies who need a full-stack partner. You deal with Jason, who builds it. No project manager in between, no subcontracting out.

The brief decides the build. Some clients need a marketing website or shop they can log in and edit themselves without ringing us every time. Others need a custom web app or a platform that doesn’t exist off-the-shelf. We build both, and we’ll tell you straight which one your project actually needs rather than upselling you into the wrong one. If you are a small business that just needs a proper site at a price you can see before you ring, that is the fixed-price website offer, from €599.

Whichever it is, the baseline doesn’t move: responsive across mobile, tablet and desktop, clean code for fast load times, and proper structure for search engines from day one. That’s not an add-on, it’s what “built properly” means.

Three different things, priced differently

“Website” covers a lot of ground. Knowing which of these you actually need is most of what decides the cost.

WordPress

You can edit it yourself

A marketing website or shop built on a platform you or your team can log into and update without calling us. The right call when budget is tighter or the job is mainly to represent the brand well and convert visitors, rather than run custom logic.

Custom build

React and Node, built to spec

A web app, product or platform built from scratch in React and Node, for when a template genuinely can’t do what you need. Built for flexibility and scale, and priced for the engineering that goes into it.

Care

Hosting, SSL, backups, upkeep

Once it’s live it needs somewhere to run and someone watching it. We handle hosting, keep the SSL certificate and backups current, and offer ongoing care plans so it stays fast and secure after launch, not just on the day it ships.

What it costs, and what moves the number

We quote per project rather than off a price list, because a five-page brochure site and a login-gated web app aren’t the same job. Tell us the brief and you get a fixed quote back, not a range that grows once we start.

What pushes the number up: custom functionality instead of off-the-shelf plugins, more unique page templates, e-commerce with real inventory or payment logic, integrations with systems you already run, and anything that needs building in React and Node rather than configured in WordPress. What keeps it down: a smaller page count, an existing brand identity rather than one designed from zero, and content you supply ready to go rather than needing us to write it.

Timeline moves with the same factors. A straightforward WordPress build typically runs to weeks; a custom web app runs to months, because there’s more to design, build and test properly. We tell you which applies to your project, and give you a timeline, before you commit to anything.

What we need from you

The less time we spend waiting on assets, the faster it ships.

  • Your logo, brand colours and any existing brand guidelines
  • Copy and images, or a clear steer if you want us to write and source them
  • A list of the pages or features you actually need, not a wishlist
  • Access to your domain and existing hosting, if you’re moving rather than starting fresh
  • One point of contact on your side who can sign off decisions

No concept yet? That’s fine. Working out what the site actually needs to do is part of the job.

How a project runs

Four stages, and you’re talking to the person doing the work at every one of them.

Brief

We listen to what you’re trying to achieve, who the site is for, and what “done” looks like. If a template will do the job for less than a custom build, we say so here.

Plan & design

We map out what’s actually needed and design a user flow that makes sense for your audience, before a line of code gets written.

Build & launch

We build, test and launch, with a focus on quality and speed rather than getting something live and fixing it after the fact.

Support

After launch you get ongoing updates, optimisation and growth-driven changes, so the site keeps working for you rather than going stale the day it ships.

Common questions

How long does a website or web app take?

Depends on the complexity. A simple website can take weeks; a custom web app can take several months. You get a timeline at the outset, once we know what you actually need.

What does it cost?

We quote per project rather than publish a price list, because a brochure site and a custom web app aren’t comparable jobs. Tell us the brief and you’ll get a fixed quote back quickly, not a range that grows later.

Will it work properly on mobile?

Yes. Every build is designed mobile-first and adapts to phone, tablet and desktop, not bolted on afterwards.

What technology do you actually build in?

Whichever fits the job. WordPress for sites you need to edit yourself and want live faster and cheaper, React and Node for custom web apps and platforms. We choose based on performance, scalability and what you’ll need to grow into, and say which upfront.

Can I update the site myself once it’s live?

On a WordPress build, yes, that’s the point. On a custom React and Node build it depends what “update” means: content changes can be built to be editable, but structural or functional changes go through us. We’ll tell you which applies before you sign off the build.

Do you host it, and what happens if something breaks?

We can host it, keep the SSL certificate and backups current, and put it on an ongoing care plan so it’s someone’s job to notice if something goes wrong, not yours.

What happens after launch?

Ongoing support, updates, training on how to use what you’ve been given, and optimisation as you learn what your audience actually does on the site. It doesn’t stop the day it goes live.

Do you build e-commerce sites?

Yes. We build for e-commerce brands who need performance and scale as well as marketing sites and web apps, and we’ll tell you honestly whether WordPress or a custom build suits your catalogue and checkout.

Do you only work with big companies?

No. We build for startups getting a first product or SaaS platform live, small businesses that need a proper online presence, and everything up through gaming, entertainment and Web3 ventures. The build is sized to the client, not the other way round.

Will I be dealing with an agency team or with you?

Me. You deal with Jason, who builds it, from the first call to launch and support after. No handing off to whoever’s free.

Rather just ask?

You do not need to read a blog post to get an answer. Ring and describe what you are trying to make.
