Questions & Answers on my Custom Web Design Services
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a custom WordPress website cost in Ireland?
A professional custom WordPress website for an Irish SME typically costs between €2,500 and €6,000, depending on functionality. While simple brochure sites sit at the lower end, complex builds requiring e-commerce (WooCommerce), custom booking systems, or CRM integrations will range higher. Unlike cheap templates, this investment ensures a secure, fast, and SEO-ready asset that you fully own.
How long does it take to build a website from scratch?
Most custom website projects take between 4 to 8 weeks from the initial discovery call to the live launch. This timeline includes four distinct stages: Sitemap & Strategy (Week 1), Design & Development (Weeks 2-5), Content Population (Week 6), and Testing & Launch (Week 7-8). Timelines can vary based on how quickly you can provide content and feedback.
Why should I choose custom WordPress over a pre-made template?
Custom WordPress development offers superior speed, security, and search engine visibility compared to pre-made templates. Templates often come with “bloated” code and unnecessary features that slow down your site and hurt your Google rankings. A custom build is lightweight, tailored exactly to your business needs, and easier to scale as your company grows.
Do you offer ongoing support after the website goes live?
Yes, I provide dedicated one-to-one maintenance and support packages to keep your site secure and updated. This includes monitoring Core Web Vitals, updating plugins, managing backups, and ensuring your site remains compatible with the latest WordPress versions. This prevents the common “decay” that happens when websites are left unmanaged.
Will I be able to update the website myself?
Absolutely. I build all sites with the end-user in mind, utilizing clean, user-friendly dashboards. Once the site is live, I provide training on how to edit text, upload blog posts, and manage products. You will have full control over your content without needing to touch a line of code.
