About Us

Having worked together for the best part of 5 years in some of Ireland’s leading web development agencies, Orla Duncan and Heidi Jermyn launched Cookie Web Consulting in late 2008.

We were very keen to be situated in the Irish midlands (thus avoiding the commuter crush!) – Cookie Web is based in Mullingar, County Westmeath. We also work from Kilcock, County Kildare and make frequent trips to Dublin for meetings and events.

One of our motivations was to start a web development company that offered beautiful web solutions at a sensible price. It seemed to us that all to often small business and individuals either have to remortgage their house to get a well designed website or they have to compromise on quality and make do with a website that is cheap but unattractive in design and features. At Cookie Web Consulting we know, from considerable experience, that it is very possible to deliver a website that looks and functions beautifully and doesn’t cost the earth.

Why not get in touch and discover that at Cookie Web online gorgeousness and cost effectiveness are not inversely related.

Heidi Jermyn

Director and Designer Ego

Heidi JermynHailing from the sunny Sunshine Coast, Australia, Heidi has been professionally active in the web industry for almost a decade. Heidi got a taste for web developement back in the bad old days of tables and inline styling and she hasn’t looked back since. Early on she has spent time in an animation studio developing e-learning software and programming flash games. Since moving to Ireland she worked as lead designer for MediaOne, and as lead designer and front end developer for Brightspark Consulting. More recently Heidi relished her role as project manager for Arekibo Communications working with clients such as Irish Aid, Failte Ireland and the Arts Council.

Heidi is passionate about many things apart from the web and great design but is mostly easily drawn into conversation about food, travel and the current state of the world. She volunteers on a regular basis for Camara, a charity that does amazing things in Africa with Irish computers otherwise destined for landfill.
