DesignBurst is an Irish web design agency founded in 2011 by Marianna Kane, an award-winning designer. Originally launched as a product design agency working with international clients, the company shifted focus entirely to website design in January 2019. Marianna's background in design, engineering, marketing, and user experience informs the agency's approach, which emphasizes clarity and accessibility over technical jargon.
The agency operates from its studio in Meath, Ireland, with a team of under 49 employees. All design work is done in-house, and the agency offers upfront pricing with a typical project budget of $1,000 to $10,000 and an average hourly rate of $50.

DesignBurst's services include web design and web development, with particular expertise in B2B, responsive, and eCommerce websites. The agency also provides extensive training and support, including documents and videos that guide clients through content creation and website management. This educational component is a key differentiator, stemming from Marianna's experience developing courses for Irish universities.
