drystoneweb

Built once. Built to stand.

I'm Ruairi, and Drystone Web is my web studio in Headford, Co. Galway.

The name

Dry-stone walls are built without mortar. Each stone is chosen and placed so the wall holds itself up, and the good ones stand for centuries with no upkeep. That's how we build websites: carefully, once, so they keep working without someone patching them every month.

Who you'll work with

Ruairi

Ruairi has been building websites for years and now leads a web development team. He scopes the job, then designs and builds your site or web app. You deal with him from the first call to launch.
