A website you can run yourself
Pagician is our website platform for small Irish businesses. Pick a design, make it yours by clicking and typing, and publish. We set it up on your domain, keep it updated and pick up the phone when you need us.
Simple on the surface. Clever underneath.
Most website builders make you choose. Simple tools give you a site that's slow, hard to find on Google and looks like everyone else's. Powerful tools bury you in menus, plugins and updates.
Pagician gives you both. On the surface there is just your page: click a heading, type, press Publish. Underneath, Pagician quietly does the work a good web developer would do on every page, every time. It sizes your photos, writes the code Google reads, keeps visitors' privacy and checks that the page still works on a phone.
The result is a website that is easier to run than a Facebook page, and built better than most agency sites.
SEO, GDPR and accessibility on every page
Built in, not bolted on. Every design is built to the standards an Irish business website should meet.
SEO ready
A clear title, description and one main heading on every page. Sitemap, robots file and tidy web addresses, set up for you. Business details, opening hours and FAQs in the structured data Google reads. Share previews for Facebook, WhatsApp and LinkedIn. Fast pages, with photos sized for each screen.
GDPR friendly
No tracking or advertising cookies, so no cookie banner. Fonts and images load from your own site, not Google. Maps and videos load only when a visitor asks. A privacy notice on every site, linked from every page and form. Contact form messages deleted automatically after 12 months.
Accessible to WCAG 2.2 AA
Readable contrast in every palette, even with your own brand colour. Works with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus outline and skip link. Proper headings, landmarks and labels for screen readers. Menus that tell screen readers when they are open. An accessibility statement on every site.

- Undo anything, and every change saves itself until you're ready to publish.
- See it on a phone before your customers do, with one click.
More than a brochure site
Business tools built in, ready when you are.
Forms you design
Build your own forms, from quote requests to sign-up sheets. Answers arrive by email and wait in a messages inbox in your admin.
Events calendar
List classes, matches, gigs and open days. Past events drop off by themselves, and each one tells Google when and where it is.
Appointment booking
Visitors pick a free time from your opening hours. You confirm, move or cancel bookings in your admin and both sides get an email.
An online shop
Load your products from a spreadsheet, add a photo to each, and take payment by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through Stripe, or on collection. Delivery charges by country, weight or order value, discount codes and sale prices with start and end dates. Stock keeps itself up to date.
A blog that brings visitors
Write posts with categories and tags, schedule them ahead, and check each one against an SEO checklist with a Google preview. The news feed and sitemap update themselves.
Classifieds and swap boards
Let visitors post ads with photos after signing in with just their email. You approve each ad, members can report problems, and old ads expire on their own.
Analytics
Visitors, page views and where people came from, compared with the period before, plus campaigns, devices and your busiest hours. Counted by your own site with no cookies, so still no cookie banner.
Photo galleries
Grid, masonry or feature layouts with a full-screen viewer. Upload a batch of photos at once, each with a description.
21 ready-made pages, or describe your own
Start a new page from a template, or type what you want, like “a services page with reviews and a quote form”, and Pagician lays it out in your design.
30 designs, 90 palettes
Browse every design live before you choose, on desktop or phone. Switch later without losing a word.
Standards built in
Built to WCAG 2.2 AA, private by design under GDPR, and set up for Google on every page, including the ones you add.
Room for your developer
Owners can open a page's code or the design's files, with every change checked before it saves and earlier versions kept.
Everything a small business website needs
Live page designer
Click and type on the real page. Add, move and remove sections. Preview on desktop, tablet and phone.
Your look
30 designs with three palettes each, your logo, your colours and your fonts. Switch design any time.
Photos made easy
Drag in photos from your phone. Pagician resizes them so pages stay fast, and asks you to describe each one.
Found on Google
Page titles, descriptions, a sitemap and business details Google understands, with a preview of how you'll appear.
Messages to your inbox
Contact forms email you straight away, with replies going to the customer. Messages are kept in your admin for 12 months, then deleted for GDPR.
Your team
Give staff their own logins as owners or editors. Everyone signs in with a code sent to their email, so there are no passwords to forget.
Private by default
No tracking cookies and no cookie banner. Maps and videos load only when a visitor asks, and fonts load from your own site.
Made for phones
Every design is tested on small screens, because that's where most of your visitors are.
A real person to ring
Stuck on something? Ring us. We'll talk you through it or make the change for you.

Pagician questions
Can I move my existing website to Pagician?
Yes. Send us the address of your current site and we'll move your text and photos across into the design you choose.
Can I use my own domain name?
Yes. We set Pagician up on your own domain, like yourbusiness.ie, and handle the technical settings.
What if I break something?
You can't, really. Nothing goes live until you press Publish, you can undo any change, and older versions of each page are kept so we can roll back.
Will my Pagician website show up on Google?
Every page gets a proper title, description, sitemap and the structured business details Google reads. Pages are fast and mobile-friendly, which Google rewards. We'll also help you set up your Google Business Profile.
Can I change design later?
Yes. Switch design or palette at any time and your pages, text and photos come with you.
Can I take my website elsewhere?
Yes. Your content is yours. We'll export your pages and images if you ever decide to move.
Is the sample content real?
The sample pages, text and photos are examples written for each type of business, so you start with a finished-looking site. Replace them with your own details, photos and real customer reviews.
