Common questions answered
Drupal Dublin: Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a website cost in Dublin?
Cost depends on scope: number of content types, custom modules required, integrations with CRM or payment systems, and whether the build is headless or traditional. We provide a fixed-scope proposal after the free consultation, so you see exact pricing before committing.
How long does it take to build or redesign a site?
Timelines vary with complexity. The six-step process from discovery to launch gives you a defined schedule agreed at the proposal stage. Migrations from an older version typically move faster than a full rebuild with new custom modules and integrations.
Do you offer ongoing CMS support and maintenance after launch?
Yes. Every project includes a defined post-launch support window covering security patching, core and module updates, and performance checks. Support continues on a scheduled basis afterward, agreed during the proposal stage.
Can you migrate our existing site from WordPress or an older CMS version?
Yes. We use the core Migrate API to map content types, users, and URLs from WordPress or legacy 7/8 installs into a current version 10 build, with QA testing to check for data loss before go-live.
Do you work with businesses outside Dublin or only locally?
Our project management is Dublin-based, but development work supports clients across Ireland and beyond. Dublin businesses get the option of on-site consultations alongside remote collaboration.
What makes Drupal a better choice than WordPress or Wix for our business?
The platform's architecture handles complex permission structures, multilingual content, and large content volumes more natively than WordPress or Wix. It supports headless delivery via JSON:API, enabling multiple front ends from one content source — something Wix and Squarespace are not built for.

Dublin-based team
Why Dublin Businesses Choose YAM for Drupal
YAM's team tracks measurable outcomes: page load speed, conversion rate on key landing pages, and organic traffic growth are measured before and after launch so improvements are documented.
Our developers hold Acquia Certified Developer credentials and have contributed to Drupal.org core and contributed modules. Custom code follows patterns the open-source community reviews and maintains, making sites easier for future developers to work with.
Every engagement includes a defined post-launch support window and a security patching schedule. We work across professional services, retail, and membership organisations, adapting Drupal's content modelling to each sector's structure.
Client references from Irish and Dublin organisations are available on request during your consultation, alongside walkthroughs of relevant past projects.
The cost of the wrong partner
Finding a Drupal Expert in Dublin
Most Dublin web agencies list Drupal alongside ten other platforms. Projects get handed to generalists unfamiliar with Drupal's architecture, resulting in broken update paths, misconfigured caching, and modules installed without proper integration planning.
DIY builders like Wix or Squarespace lack support for multi-role permissions, complex content workflows, or integrations with ERP or CRM systems. Outdated Drupal installs — Drupal 7 or unpatched Drupal 9 builds — carry documented security vulnerabilities and performance issues that affect ranking and conversion.
Many providers offer unclear pricing and timelines, with support tickets handled outside Irish hours. A Dublin organisation needs a Drupal developer who responds during your working hours and defines scope before engagement.
Full-service Drupal agency
Full-Service Drupal Development & Design in Dublin
YAM provides Drupal development with strategy, design, build, launch, and support handled by one team. This includes custom module development for your specific logic, plus Drupal 9 and Drupal 10 migrations planned to preserve content and avoid downtime.
We build API integrations connecting the platform to CRM systems, ERP systems, and payment gateways like Stripe. For organisations needing flexibility beyond traditional page-and-template models, we deliver headless and decoupled Drupal builds — Drupal as content backend with a separate front end (React, Vue, or similar) consuming it via JSON:API or GraphQL.
Projects from YAM include responsive design built against WCAG accessibility guidelines, with layouts designed to convert visitors. Every build is hardened against OWASP-listed vulnerabilities and configured with GDPR-appropriate data handling for Irish organisations collecting user data from contact forms to e-commerce checkouts.
YAM assigns a Dublin-based project manager to every engagement, available during Irish hours for calls, reviews, and support requests.
