Websites for the businesses,
towns and history of your area
A local business, helping local businesses
I'm Tom, based in Castlecomer, Co. Kilkenny. I build heritage archives, digital story trails, town hubs, community hall booking sites and local business websites — mostly across Kilkenny, Carlow and Laois, and further afield where the work suits.
I started Dino Digital because too many good businesses around here are being let down by their website — slow, dated, awkward on a phone, or nowhere to be found on Google. Your website should be out earning its keep, not sitting there doing nothing.
I'm not a big agency. You deal with me from the first chat to the day your site goes live, and I'm still here afterwards when something needs changing. What I care about is whether a site actually works for you: getting you found, building trust, and turning the people who land on it into customers — not just whether it looks nice on a screen.
Need a brand new website, a tired one rebuilt, or an honest opinion on the one you already have? You'll get fair pricing and work you'll be happy to put your name to.
I work with:
- Historical societies, heritage groups and heritage officers
- Town and community development committees
- Community centres, parish halls, GAA clubs and Men's Sheds
- Tradespeople, salons, pubs and sole traders
- Schools, festivals and local events
You don't need to know the first thing about how websites work. Tell me about your business and I'll take it from there.

Ten years in regulated engineering
A decade delivering validated control systems in pharmaceutical manufacturing, to documented standards and hard deadlines.
Certified project manager
Institute of Project Management diploma, NFQ Level 8 with IPMA certification: scope, cost, quality and risk.
Built to WCAG 2.1 AA
The accessibility standard public bodies are audited against, met as standard rather than retro-fitted.
Grant funding flagged
Heritage Council, county council and LEADER routes identified against your project before you commit.
Built with modern tools, AI among them — which is how a small studio delivers this quickly and keeps costs down. Every project still gets a human eye over every detail before it goes live.
Here's How We Can Help You
Five kinds of work, one thread running through them: proper, well-made digital solutions grounded in the locality and built to last.
Heritage & Historical Websites
"Photographs in drawers, stories only the older generation still remember."
A living, searchable archive — stories, photographs, records and graves, with community submissions the society approves before anything is published.
✓ Your town's history stops disappearing with the generation that remembers it.
Learn moreDigital Story Trails
"Your town has the history. It has no way of telling it to the person standing in front of it."
Weatherproof panels around the town, each with a QR code that opens that spot's story on a visitor's phone — English and as Gaeilge, with audio and photographs.
✓ No app, no opening hours, no guide to book. A fraction of the cost of a custom app.
Learn moreTown Hub Websites
"Everything that's on in the town is scattered across Facebook, posters and WhatsApp groups."
One site for the whole town: a directory of every shop and trade, one shared calendar, clubs, jobs, a noticeboard and a moving-to-the-area guide.
✓ Built around the town, not around any one organisation — and it doubles as the visitor guide.
Learn moreCommunity Hall Websites & Booking
"The only way to check if the hall is free is to ring a volunteer's mobile."
Room profiles with photos, capacity and hire rates, a live availability calendar across every room, and 24/7 online booking you approve before it's confirmed.
✓ The hall gets booked at eleven at night without anyone's phone going.
Learn moreLocal Business & Event Websites
"No website at all, or one you'd rather a customer didn't find."
A clean, fast, mobile-first site — your services, prices, hours and photos — with your Google presence and map pin sorted.
✓ The modern version of a good shopfront. Same idea for a festival or a one-off event.
Learn moreBooking, Admin & Smart Tools
"Too much of the week goes on the diary, the rota and chasing people."
Online booking, forms, automatic confirmations and reminders, and AI features that answer routine questions while you're on a job.
✓ The site works when you can't.
