What Carawebs does

Carawebs is a private, founder-owned web design and development agency founded in 2012 and headquartered in Sixmilebridge, Co. Clare, Ireland, operating with a sub-10-person team. The company designs, builds, and maintains custom, mobile-friendly websites for a horizontally diversified client base ranging from sole traders and small businesses to large organisations, including engineering consultancies (Expedition Engineering, Torque Consulting Engineers, Homan O'Brien), healthcare providers (Abbey Physio, Riverdale Nursing Home), educational institutions (University College London Civil Engineering Department, Useful Simple Trust), and government clients (UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office). Notably, it also develops bespoke Virtual Learning Environments for educational delivery.

The company's technology stack centres on the WordPress CMS, complemented by custom-developed plugins and themes, in-house managed Virtual Private Server hosting, and static-site builds for security-sensitive clients. Service delivery spans five productised lines: business website design and development, custom WordPress plugin/theme and VLE development, hosting and maintenance subscriptions, security audit and hack recovery, and content creation/copywriting with SEO optimisation.

Carawebs operates a sales-led go-to-market via direct consultation and tailored project quotes, distributing through regional direct sales and client referrals primarily in Ireland and the UK. Revenue is generated through a mix of one-off project fees (website builds, hack recovery, copywriting) and recurring maintenance subscriptions on VPS hosting. The business is bootstrapped with no external investment, no disclosed revenue, and no public pricing structure.
