Three ways we work with WordPress
Most WordPress sites we see in Ireland need one of three things. Some need all three, in this order.
Slow, broken or hacked sites
We find what is wrong, repair it and explain it in plain English. White screens, failed updates, malware, plugin conflicts and pages that take forever to load.
Monthly WordPress support
Updates, backups, monitoring and small changes handled every month, so you can get on with running the business.

What goes into a WordPress build
Custom WordPress themes
Written for your site alone, without the unused features and extra scripts that come with marketplace themes and page builders.
WordPress website design
Pages designed around your Irish customers and your content first, then built into the theme exactly as approved.
Moves to WordPress
Migrate to WordPress from Squarespace, Wix or an old CMS, with content transferred and every old address redirected to its new home.
Integrations
Booking systems, CRMs, donation forms, newsletters and payment providers connected cleanly and tested end to end.
WordPress SEO setup
Clean URLs, titles, structured data, sitemaps and local SEO details for Ireland set up properly from launch, not bolted on later.
Speed optimisation
Lean code, compressed images and caching, so pages load quickly on Irish mobile networks and pass Google's Core Web Vitals.
Who we work with
WordPress for Irish organisations of every size

Monthly maintenance that you can actually see
An unmaintained WordPress site does not break all at once. It slowly falls behind on updates until one day something stops working. Our website maintenance plans prevent that for sites across Ireland with a fixed routine every month.
Core, theme and plugin updates
Tested before they go live, so an update never takes the site down.
Off-site backups
Stored away from the server, with restores checked rather than assumed.
Uptime and security monitoring
We hear about problems before your customers do.
Small content changes
New text, images or opening hours handled on request.
Speed checks
Regular measurements, so the site stays as fast as it was at launch.
A monthly summary
What was done, what changed and anything that needs your decision.
Choosing a platform
WordPress or Squarespace for an Irish small business?
It is one of the most common questions we hear from small businesses in Ireland. Both are good tools. The right one depends on what your site needs to do over the next few years.
| What matters | WordPress | Squarespace |
|---|---|---|
| Getting started | Needs a developer for a custom build | Quick to set up yourself |
| Custom features | Almost anything can be built | Limited to built-in blocks and extensions |
| SEO control | Full control over structure and markup | Good basics, less fine control |
| Moving later | Any host, any developer | Design stays on the platform |
| Best for | Growing businesses and charities | Simple sites run by one person |

FAQ
WordPress in Ireland: questions answered
How much does a WordPress developer in Ireland cost?
It depends on the job. A repair or speed fix is a short, defined piece of work; a new site with custom templates, blocks and integrations is a project. Either way we review what you need first and send a fixed written price, so you know the cost before anything starts.
My WordPress site is broken or has been hacked. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take a backup of the current state, find the cause, clean out malicious code or conflicting plugins, update what is out of date and restore the site. We then explain what went wrong and how to stop it happening again.
Why is my WordPress site so slow?
Usually a heavy theme or page builder, too many plugins, oversized images and no caching. We measure the site first, fix the biggest causes in order of impact and show you the before and after results.
Do you set up SEO on WordPress sites?
Yes, the technical side: clean URLs, titles and descriptions, structured data, XML sitemaps, redirects and page speed. For ongoing keyword work and content we also offer separate SEO services.
Should an Irish small business choose WordPress or Squarespace?
Squarespace is quick to start and fine for a simple site you manage alone. WordPress makes more sense when you need custom features, integrations, full control over SEO or the freedom to move hosting and developers. We are happy to tell you honestly which fits your case.
Do you build WordPress sites for charities and non-profits?
Yes. Charities often need donation forms, event listings, volunteer sign-ups and an editor that volunteers can use without training. WordPress handles all of that well, and we keep the plugin list short so the site stays cheap to look after.
Are you a WordPress agency or a freelance WordPress developer?
We are YAM Digital Limited, a small Irish company rather than a single freelancer. More than one person knows your site, the work is documented, and the code, hosting and logins stay in your name.
