Emerald Sites

About the studio

A founder-led Irish studio for premium web and serious software.

Emerald Sites is led by Amy and Richard Higgins—combining direct, human client service with hands-on design, product and delivery experience.

How the studio works

Four things you can hold us to.

01

Founder-led, start to finish

The people in the first conversation are the people responsible for the work. You do not disappear into an account queue.

02

Plain answers over agency theatre

Scope, price, risk and trade-offs are stated plainly. If something is uncertain, we say what would make it certain.

03

Websites and software, one studio

The studio began by getting Irish small businesses online properly, and now carries the same clarity into SaaS products and complex delivery.

04

Claims we can stand over

We show live work and say exactly what it proves. No invented metrics, no borrowed case studies, no badge without substance.

Proof we build product

The studio runs its own live SaaS product.

PromptForge—built and operated by Emerald Sites—turns rough requests into structured prompts for tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Lovable. It carries accounts, credit-based plans, safety signals and real users.

It matters because it proves the studio can do more than brochure websites: product thinking, application UX and working software, delivered end to end by the same team you would be hiring.
