About Kokono

Kokono was born with a purpose to help people friend creativity and technology for business…

Once upon a time in West Cork, Ruta was walking in the forest, just after she has left a busy 8-year-long rollercoaster in tech startups scene in Dublin. “A safe space”, Ruta felt something in her heart. The Kokono name was born.

Since 2019, Kokono helps local business owners with websites and web training.

But wait. The story doesn’t end here! Ruta met her business partner Malu in ecology programme. Bonded through a care for environment and passion for play, a multicultural team was born.

Since 2021, Kokono helps business owners with a complete journey of branded websites.

What business owners say about us..

Malu is an amazing designer. I have been working closely with her for over a year. Malu created my complete branding kit including logo, brand imagery, branding manual with guidelines and social media templates. The whole process was easy and enjoyable.

"This was the first time I've worked as part of a Symbiotic Design team and it blew all another website development experiences out of the water. I really felt held by the team with Ruta as developer and Malu as designer. So much of the process was about pooling our ideas, sharing our insights and fuelling our creativity so that we could design a website that really stood out. Well the proof is in the pudding! I have so many complements about how stunning and easy to navigate my website is. What's most important is that is shares my message straight away, grabbing my key customers and developing new relationships.Thanks Ruta and Malu for everything."

"I would totally and wholeheartedly recommend Kokono website design and business support services. What I particularly appreciate about Ruta is that she is super at translating my blah (written or verbal) and she’ll extract the essence of what I’m trying to communicate and convert it beautifully into the design, content and layout. Working with Ruta has been a sheer delight every step of the way."

"Kokono was a pleasure to work with, very diligent, friendly and created a wonderful website for my business. She also completed online website training and broke it down into simple blocks for me, so I can easily update my own website. Her training videos are excellent, short and to the point, a great back up for me. I would highly recommend Ruta and look forward to working with her again in the future."

Ruta then was able to guide me and direct me based on my passions and interests. She is very creative and open minded which is not always easy to find in the business world!"
