What We Build
Core WordPress Development Services
From a brand-new website to a complete rebuild — we cover every aspect of WordPress development for businesses across Ireland.
Custom Theme Development
A 100% original design built specifically for your brand — no page-builder bloat, no shared templates. Your site will look and perform unlike anyone else's in your industry.
WooCommerce Development
Sell online with confidence. We build robust, secure WooCommerce stores with fast checkouts, Stripe or PayPal integration, and a smooth mobile shopping experience for Irish customers.
Custom Plugin Development
Need a feature that doesn't exist yet? We write bespoke WordPress plugins that extend your site's functionality cleanly — no bloated off-the-shelf alternatives that slow your site down.
Performance Overhauls
Slow websites lose customers and rankings. We audit your existing site, eliminate dead weight, implement caching, optimise images, and deliver the sub-2-second load times Google rewards.
API & Third-Party Integrations
Connect your WordPress site to the tools you already use — CRMs, payment gateways, Mailchimp, booking systems, and more. Automate your workflow and save hours of admin every week.
WordPress Migrations
Moving from another platform or switching hosts? We handle the full migration — files, database, DNS, and SSL — with zero data loss and minimal downtime.
Custom vs. Templates
Why Custom Development Beats a Template Every Time
Template websites might get you online quickly, but they cost you in speed, security, and search rankings.
Faster Load Times
Templates ship with hundreds of features you'll never use. We write only the code your site needs, targeting sub-2-second load times that reduce bounce rate and improve conversions.
Stronger Security
Popular page-builders are the number-one target for WordPress hackers. Custom code has a vastly smaller attack surface. Combined with our maintenance plans, your site stays clean and protected.
Better SEO Performance
We use clean semantic HTML, structured data, and Core Web Vitals best practices from day one — giving Google exactly what it needs to rank your pages above the competition.
Unique Brand Identity
Template sites look like template sites. A custom design built around your brand sets you apart from every competitor in your market — from Dublin to Kerry and beyond.
Mobile-First by Default
Over 60% of Irish web traffic is on mobile. Every site we build is designed mobile-first and tested across all devices and screen sizes before it goes live.
Scales with Your Business
As your business grows, your website can grow with it. Custom architecture means adding new features, pages, or integrations later is clean and straightforward — never a hack.
How It Works
Our Development Process
From first conversation to live site, here's exactly what to expect when you work with WPMaintain.

Discovery & Brief
We learn about your business, your goals, and your target audience. We look at your competitors so we can help you stand out.
02Step 2

03Step 3
Build & Test
We build your site on a staging environment, testing on all browsers and devices. You review and we refine until everything is perfect.
04Step 4
Launch & Handover
We deploy to your live server, set up analytics, submit your sitemap to Google, and train you on how to manage your content.
Why WPMaintain
What Makes Us Different
We're not a faceless agency with rotating account managers. We're a dedicated WordPress specialist based in Kerry, Ireland.
Ireland-Based & Available
No outsourcing, no offshore developers. When you call or email, you speak directly to the person building your site — based right here in Kerry.
WordPress-Only Specialists
We don't dabble in Squarespace or Wix. WordPress is all we do — which means deeper expertise, faster delivery, and better results for you.
Clear Timelines & Fixed Quotes
You'll receive a detailed quote with a project timeline before work begins. No surprise invoices, no scope creep — just transparent delivery.
Performance-Obsessed
Every site we ship is tested for Core Web Vitals. We won't launch a site that doesn't meet our sub-2-second load-time target — full stop.
Ongoing Support Included
After launch, we're still here. All projects include 30 days of post-launch support, and optional maintenance plans keep your site secure and fast for years to come.
Clean, Documented Code
You own your website — and we make sure you can hand it to any developer in the future. Our code is clean, well-commented, and free of proprietary lock-in.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything Irish businesses ask us before starting a WordPress project.
How much does a custom WordPress website cost in Ireland?
Custom WordPress websites typically start from €1,500 for a simple brochure site and range up to €10,000+ for complex e-commerce or custom-functionality builds. We provide a detailed fixed-price quote after a free discovery call — so you'll know the exact cost before committing to anything.
How long does it take to build a WordPress website?
A standard 5–8 page WordPress website typically takes 3–5 weeks from approval of the design to launch. More complex projects — WooCommerce stores, custom plugins, or large sites — are scoped individually. We always agree on a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout.
Will I be able to update my WordPress site myself after launch?
Yes. Every site we build uses the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg), which is intuitive for non-technical users. We include a training session and documentation so you can confidently update pages, add blog posts, or change images without needing a developer for routine tasks.
Do you build WooCommerce stores for Irish businesses?
Yes — WooCommerce development is one of our core services. We build Irish e-commerce stores with Stripe and PayPal integration, VAT handling, shipping zones for Ireland and international delivery, and a fast, mobile-friendly checkout experience.
Can you redesign or rebuild an existing WordPress site?
Absolutely. Many of our projects are rebuilds of existing sites that have become slow, outdated, or hard to maintain. We audit your current site, preserve your SEO equity (URLs, rankings, and structured data), and rebuild it from the ground up — faster, cleaner, and better-looking.
Do you offer WordPress hosting or maintenance after the build?
Yes. We offer managed WordPress hosting and monthly maintenance plans starting from €49/month. These cover security monitoring, plugin updates, daily backups, performance checks, and a monthly health report.
Are you based in Kerry? Do you work with businesses across Ireland?
We're based in Killarney, Co. Kerry, and work with businesses all across Ireland — from Cork to Dublin and everywhere in between. Most of our project work is done remotely via video call and shared staging environments, so location is never a barrier.
