Smart WordPress websites that hit real business objectives — without a single compromise on design.
A members’ club in live build now. Booking, society enquiries and members area — currently working through our three-mockup process. Like this page is.
Most studios show you a portfolio and ask you to imagine your site. We show you three real homepage mockups of your site — three distinct directions — before money is on the table.
No retainer. No deposit. No pitch deck. You react to actual designs, pick a direction (or a hybrid), and only then do we talk scope and price.
STEP 02The page you’re reading right now is itself the output of step 02 — a working mockup for our own studio site. Every client gets the same treatment.
There is no shortage of agencies that will hand you a pretty website that does nothing. Or a clever site that looks like a database. We don’t think you should have to choose.
Every site we build is led by design — your brand, your audience, your tone. Functionality follows form, not the other way round. If it looks generic, we haven’t done our job.
Three mockups, before any quote
A website isn’t a brochure. Every page is briefed against a measurable outcome — enquiries, bookings, members, donations. Our 4AI assistant and 4Nurture automation are built in, not bolted on.
4AI + 4Nurture included
We cut our teeth at 4property.com, where our sites drive Vendor enquiries in a market at crisis levels. The discipline of selling homes when there’s almost no stock left has sharpened our work.

Every DesignBricks site is built on SuperNova — our own WordPress theme — and looked after by a team that includes a WordPress.org Core Contributor. WordPress 7 dropped this month; our stack was ready in beta.

DesignBricks is a studio inside 4Property Digital — the team that builds and runs digital infrastructure for over 200 Irish estate agents, including the platforms that drive a meaningful share of all residential transactions in the country.
Right now, Irish residential stock is at historic lows. Demand is at historic highs. Our sites have to convince homeowners to sell into a market where there is almost nothing to buy — and our clients are still hitting their numbers. The discipline of that work shows up in everything we do elsewhere.
Hiring a web studio shouldn’t be a leap of faith. By the time we send a quote, you’ve already chosen which direction you want — from three concepts that are yours to keep.
What it does, who it serves, what the site needs to deliver. No pitch deck — just a conversation. We listen for the brief.
We produce three real homepage mockups — three different directions — for your business. You react to actual designs, including hybrids (“V2’s palette with V1’s layout” is a perfect answer).
Where most studios won’t go
Once a direction is chosen, we draft the full sitemap and an itemised fixed-price quote. Nothing vague, nothing surprise.
Built on SuperNova (our WordPress theme), launched on schedule, then supported on a monthly retainer. No surprises post-launch either.
Nine projects across sport, education, professional services, health and specialist briefs — built outside the property sector, although the studio’s discipline came from it.
A clubs site that brings fixtures, membership and community news together in one place — designed for the way members and supporters actually use a club site.
A primary school site that balances parent-facing announcements with a calmer marketing layer for prospective enrolments — practical for staff, welcoming for families.
National association site — clear, structured, fit for a body that has to communicate with members, the public and the press.
A financial advice firm site, considered and grown-up — designed to earn trust before the enquiry form does its work.
A solicitor’s practice site that reads more like a partner letter than a brochure — calm, authoritative, easy to navigate.
A medical-adjacent clinic site that needed to balance clinical credibility with warm, welcoming personality. Booking flows built in.
A personal practice site — the kind of restrained, considered design that lets the practitioner be the focus, not the layout.
A specialist site with a precise audience and a specific job. Built lean and fast, with the structure the audience expected.
A counselling practice site where tone was everything — calm without being cold, professional without being clinical. Online booking, intake forms and a private members area for ongoing clients.
Spaces fill from the start of each quarter. If yours is the next brief on this grid, a 30-minute discovery call is the start.
Most enquiries arrive in the evening or at the weekend. 4AI handles the first conversation — answers questions, qualifies the brief, holds attention. 4Nurture (built on Go High Level) follows up automatically. Both come built into every DesignBricks site, not bolted on for an extra licence fee.
Years of building inside the Irish property sector forced us to develop disciplines most agencies don’t bother with — research, data, content systems, integrations. We brought all of them to DesignBricks.
Every site is built on SuperNova, our in-house WordPress theme, and tested against every WordPress release before it ships. We don’t just use the platform — we contribute to it.
SEO, Google Ads, Meta campaigns, organic social and content strategy — handled in-house by people who run real campaigns, not just dashboards.
Copy, content systems, editorial design, brochures and brand voice work. Long-form sits comfortably alongside short — both in the studio’s vocabulary.
Integrations, APIs, custom database work, data pipelines, and the unglamorous plumbing that lets a site do something genuinely useful. Born of fifteen years inside property data.
Audience research, market analysis and reporting — drawn from the same research discipline that powers 4property.com’s market intelligence work.
Hosting, maintenance, security, monthly updates and a real Dublin-based support team to talk to when something goes wrong. The bit most agencies hand off — we don’t.
We work with organisations where reputation matters and the audience deserves a real experience — clubs, schools, professional firms, clinics, charities, hotels and the kind of specialist briefs that don’t fit a category.
Three notes from clients across different sectors — abbreviated and used as layout placeholders here. Real testimonials will be added in the next round.
Three mockups before we spent a euro. We knew exactly what we were buying — and they picked up on the tone of our club from a single conversation.
A small studio that punches above its weight. The technical depth is genuine, the design instinct is calm. A pleasure to deal with.
The AI assistant has paid for the website three times over. Enquiries no longer wait until Monday morning to be handled.
Spend 30 minutes telling us about your business. We come back with three real homepage concepts you can react to — three directions, three palettes, three voices. Then, and only then, we talk price.
