Professional web design in Waterford — fast, sustainable, and built to rank. As a Waterford-based web designer and developer, I build high-converting business websites and custom web applications for small businesses, trades, and enterprises across Waterford City, Dungarvan, Tramore, Carrick-on-Suir, and Clonmel.
Every site I build loads in under a second and produces less than 0.1g of CO₂ per view — clean, high-performance code that drives local search visibility and converts visitors into paying customers. From business websites to custom app development, I deliver the same standard: fast, sustainable, and built to be found.
I designed and built a friendly, accessible website for Little Acorns in Portlaw. The platform showcases their childcare programmes (Baby Care, Toddlers, and Preschool) with a child-centric, vibrant colour palette. Built with a mobile-first approach, it helps local parents easily find opening hours, scheme eligibility, and get in touch instantly.
Custom websites built with modern frameworks like Next.js. Engineered for traditional SEO and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), your site is built to be discoverable by both Google and AI search engines like ChatGPT.

A low-carbon website is designed and developed with the goal of minimising its environmental impact. This involves optimising code, images, and server-side operations to reduce energy consumption, leading to lower carbon emissions associated with its use and hosting.
Sustainable web design helps Waterford businesses by reducing their digital carbon footprint, aligning with growing environmental consciousness. It also often results in faster, more efficient websites, improving user experience, SEO, and potentially reducing hosting costs. This demonstrates a commitment to sustainability, enhancing brand reputation and attracting eco-conscious customers.
John Riordan focuses on building websites that are not only visually appealing but also exceptionally fast and efficient. This is achieved through meticulous code optimisation, efficient asset loading (like AVIF images), server-side rendering with frameworks like Next.js, and implementing Progressive Web App (PWA) principles. The aim is to deliver a seamless user experience while minimising resource consumption and maximising Google Lighthouse scores.
