§ 05 — Questions, answered

Frequently
asked.

If your question is not here, write to [email protected]. We reply personally.

01. Is this really free?
+
Yes. The selected recipient pays €0 for the agreed website project. There is no application fee, no subscription and no requirement to purchase anything from webs.ie afterwards.
02. What is the catch?
+
There is no financial catch. The recipient must be available for kickoff, provide content and feedback promptly, and work within the agreed grant scope. We may document the finished project as a webs.ie case study, with the details explained before work begins.
03. Who can apply?
+
Small businesses, startups, independent professionals, creators, nonprofits and meaningful projects. You can be based in Ireland or abroad, provided the project is real and you are authorised to represent it. One application per business per month; applicants must be 18 or over. Full rules: Grant Terms.
04. What kind of website is included?
+
A focused, custom marketing website or landing site — typically 4–6 essential pages — with responsive design, contact functionality, foundational SEO, launch and handover. Ecommerce, complex applications and custom software are not included.
05. How is the recipient selected? Is it a lottery?
+
It is not a lottery or random draw. Every application is reviewed by the webs.ie team against clarity, timing, potential impact, story and whether the project can be delivered well within the grant scope. The decision is final.
06. What happens if I am selected?
+
We contact you by email after the application deadline to confirm eligibility, scope and availability — you have seven days to respond. Once kickoff and materials are ready, the website is normally designed, built and launched in roughly seven days.
07. Who owns the website, and are hosting or domain costs included?
+
You own the finished website and your content; webs.ie retains its underlying frameworks and reusable tooling. The build is launched on Cloudflare infrastructure and your own domain is connected. Domain registration, renewals and paid third-party services are not included — any possible ongoing cost is disclosed before kickoff.
08. Can I apply again if I am not selected?
+
Yes, any month you like. Everyone receives a reply either way. Many strong candidates are selected on a second or third application as their project evolves — refresh your answers rather than resubmitting the same text.

One recipient is selected each calendar month. Selection is a judged review by the Webs.ie team, not a random draw. Submitting an application does not guarantee selection. The final scope of the delivered website is determined together with the recipient after selection and is limited to what can reasonably be delivered within the Grant's schedule. Third-party costs (domain, premium plug-ins, licensed imagery, advertising) are the recipient's responsibility. Personal information provided in the application is handled under our Privacy Policy and retained for twelve months after the decision. The Grant is governed by the Webs.ie Grant Terms. The Studio's decision is final. No cash alternative. The Grant is not transferable and has no monetary value to the recipient other than the services delivered. By submitting you confirm that you are 18 or over and authorised to apply on behalf of the named project.
