Dublin, Ireland the growth department you don’t have to hire

We design websites that win work for Irish businesses.

A web design agency first: your site designed, written and built by us, then we stay and run the growth around it: Google visibility, reviews, campaigns. Three Irish businesses a month; nothing billed until you approve.

// THE PROBLEM

Most Irish businesses aren’t short on skill. They’re short on someone driving the growth.

The work is excellent and the word of mouth is real, but the website hasn’t changed since launch, the Google listing is half-filled, and driving all of that is a full-time job nobody in the business has time to do. The competitor winning the work down the road isn’t better. Someone is just doing that job for them.

That’s the job we do: design, build and run your online presence, and answer for it every month. Growth you can see, not growth you hope for.

// WHAT WE DO

Websites first. Then the growth around them.

Every client starts the same way: a website designed, written and built by us. What makes us a department, not just a design shop, is what happens after: the growth work below, answered for every month.

01

Websites that win work

Designed, written, built and hosted by us, the shopfront that makes you look like the biggest company in town.

02

Google visibility & local search

Google Business Profile, maps and local SEO, so you show up where your customers actually look.

03

Reviews & reputation

A steady, honest system for earning five-star proof and putting it where it wins the job.

04

Content & campaigns

Pages, posts and promotions that bring enquiries in, added as you climb the ladder.

05

Plain-English reporting

Every number that matters, in one monthly view. If something’s down, you hear that too.

// SELECTED WORK

Ten complete concept builds. Every one a full, working homepage.

These are not paying-client case studies. They are complete, live-coded concept websites created to show Irish businesses exactly what our design standard looks like before they apply. Choose any build, explore the full homepage or launch the live demonstration.

// HOW IT WORKS

From application to your first metrics, in four steps.

Three new builds a month, chosen from applications.

  1. 01 apply

    Tell us about your business

    A short application: what you do, where you work, what you need. No call required, no obligation on either side.

  2. 02 design

    If it's a fit, we design first

    A designed homepage concept for your business, hosted on our domain. You review it live, in your own time, no pressure either way.

  3. 03 approve

    Approve it, and we complete the build

    Only then does billing start, from €199/month. Six-month minimum, then 30 days’ notice, ever.

  4. 04 grow

    The work compounds, and we prove it

    Enquiries, visibility, reviews and coverage, improved month after month, and reported in a view you can actually read.

// THE MONTHLY PROOF

You’ll never wonder if it’s working.

This is the reporting format every client receives. The figures shown here are illustrative until our first published client case studies are complete. If a number is down, you see that too.

// WHY US

Honesty is the whole product.

Most agencies sell certainty they can’t deliver. We went through the standard pitch and deleted every line we couldn’t stand over. What’s left is what we’ll actually put in writing.

−3 promises removed +3 commitments added

industry-promises.diff our working terms

@@ what the industry sells @@

“Guaranteed page 1 of Google in 30 days.”

Glowing testimonials, written in-house.

Contracts that outlive the results.

@@ what we commit to instead @@

If a website won’t grow your business, we’ll say so, and you shouldn’t pay us.

No ranking guarantees, just honest monthly reporting on what’s actually working.

One senior team, directly accountable. No ticket queues, no hand-offs.

Every claim on this page is held to the same rule.

// PLANS

// APPROACH

How we work.

A growth partnership built on one idea: prove the value before you pay for it, then report on it in the open.

01

Design before you buy

For the businesses we take on, the design comes first. You see your homepage concept running on our domain before a single euro is discussed. The risk sits with us, not you.

02

Measure what actually matters

Enquiries, local visibility, reviews and coverage, reported every month in plain language. If a number is down, you hear that too.

03

Say the true thing

No guaranteed rankings, no vanity metrics, no stock testimonials. We’d rather tell you a website won’t move the needle than take the work. Honesty is the whole product.

04

Never lock you in

A six-month minimum so the work has time to compound, then 30 days’ notice, any time. It’s your business and your site. You own it, and you can take it with you.

// THE FOUNDER

The person accountable for the work.

I’m Dan McMorrow, founder of The Growth Department. I built the agency around a simple frustration: too many good Irish businesses are sold a website and then left alone with it.

We design the website first so you can judge the standard before paying. If you approve it, we stay responsible for the growth around it: visibility, reviews, improvements and reporting, with a direct line to the person accountable for the work.

// FAQ

Straight answers.

Yes. It’s your business and your site. If you leave after your minimum term, you take it with you, and we’ll help with the handover.

You apply, and if your business is one of the three we take on that month, we design your homepage direction before you pay anything. You review it live on our domain, and only if you approve does the full build, and billing from €199/month, begins.

No, and anyone who promises that is lying to you. What we can promise is a fast, well-built, properly optimised site and honest reporting on what’s working.

No setup fees. There’s a six-month minimum term so the work has time to deliver, then it’s 30 days’ notice to leave, any time.

Enquiries, search visibility, review growth and local coverage, in plain language, not a wall of jargon. If a number is down, you’ll hear that too.

Because the risk sits with us, not you. You see your design running before paying a cent. There’s nothing to take on faith.

Nothing is billed and nothing changes hands. Concepts stay on our domain and remain The Growth Department property until a plan starts. Once you’re a paying client, the site is yours.

// APPLY
