HPRA-compliant digital expertise
Cork's pharma corridor — Pfizer in Ringaskiddy, Eli Lilly in Dunderrow, Johnson & Johnson in Janssen — demands websites that meet HPRA advertising standards for medicinal products. We build pharma-compliant platforms that communicate credibility without triggering regulatory issues.
Maritime industry specialists
The Port of Cork is Ireland's largest volume port, handling container shipping, bulk cargo, and ferry services. We've built digital platforms for port logistics operators, marine engineering firms, and offshore service companies who need complex, data-rich websites built for B2B procurement audiences.
Manufacturing & industrial content architecture
Cork's manufacturing base — from Pfizer's API manufacturing at Ringaskiddy to Apple's supply chain operations — requires technical content that speaks to procurement teams, engineers, and C-suite buyers. We structure that content for both human readers and AI search engines.
UCC & MTU ecosystem connection
University College Cork and Munster Technological University produce 8,000+ graduates annually. Cork's growing tech startup scene, Rubicon Centre spin-outs, and med-tech ventures need investor-ready websites built fast and built right.
Tourism from Cobh to West Cork
Cork's tourism market spans Cobh's Titanic heritage, West Cork's luxury rural tourism, and Cork city's vibrant food and cultural scene. We build booking-first websites optimised for Google and AI travel recommendation engines.
Export-market SEO and multilingual reach
Cork businesses export to the US, EU, and Asia-Pacific. We build multilingual websites and international SEO strategies that make Cork-based pharma, food, and manufacturing companies visible in their target export markets — not just locally.

Pharmaceutical
Ringaskiddy Pharma Manufacturer
A Cork API manufacturer with global clients had no online presence that communicated their GMP certifications, capacity, or process capabilities to international procurement teams researching via AI tools.
"International procurement teams now find us on ChatGPT before they even visit our website. The structured content architecture has completely changed how we're perceived in global markets."
— Commercial Director
Maritime & Logistics
Port of Cork Logistics Operator
A container shipping and warehousing firm operating out of Cork's Tivoli Docks needed a B2B portal that could handle real-time cargo tracking, rate requests, and compliance documentation — all while ranking on Google for high-intent logistics searches.
"The platform handles 400+ rate requests per month that used to require manual email processing. The SEO results have made us the go-to logistics partner for Cork exporters."

Cork Questions Answered
Everything Cork businesses typically ask before getting started.
Yes — pharmaceutical compliance is one of our core specialisations.

Every pharma website we build goes through a compliance checklist before launch.
What Cork Clients Say
Declan O'Riordan
Commercial Director, Cork Pharma Manufacturer
Ringaskiddy, Cork
"The HPRA compliance knowledge they brought to our project was genuinely impressive — we've worked with Dublin agencies before who didn't even know what the HPRA was. Wide Web Artisans understood our regulatory environment from day one."
Siobhán McCarthy
Operations Director, Port Logistics Firm
Cork Harbour
"The B2B portal they built processes 400+ rate requests a month that used to be entirely manual. The SEO work has made us the default answer for 'Cork freight forwarding' — exactly where we needed to be."
Pádraig Ó Maolalaidh
Founder, West Cork Artisan Brand
Skibbereen, West Cork
"They genuinely understood the West Cork premium brand story and how to translate it for international buyers. Our D2C channel is now our most profitable revenue stream — we never thought that would happen in year one."
Fionnuala Ryan
Revenue Manager, Cork City Hotel Group
Cork City
"Direct bookings up 290% in 12 months. The AI travel visibility work is something we hadn't even considered before — German and French guests finding us through ChatGPT recommendations has genuinely surprised us."
