Most small business websites are built on platforms that slow them down. WordPress needs constant plugin updates and security patches. Wix and Squarespace load heavy scripts you can't remove, and lock you into their monthly fees.
BeaconSites builds every website as fast, secure static HTML — whether it's a brand-new site or a rebuild of the one you have now. There's no database to hack, no plugins to update and no page builder weighing down every page. The result loads quickly on mobile and costs far less to look after.
In 2026, speed isn't the only thing that matters. A growing share of customers ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI for recommendations, and those engines need clean, structured pages to cite you.
Every site includes the structure AI engines look for — schema markup, FAQ markup and content organised for AI extraction. This isn't an add-on. It's how we build.
Who is this for?
Irish SMEs that need a new website built properly from the start, or have an existing site on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or a similar platform that has become slow, outdated or expensive to run.
Businesses in trades, professional services, local retail and B2B services who need the website to generate enquiries, not just exist.
Owners who would rather send us a change than edit the site themselves. Every site we deliver is managed for you on our Care Plan.
We no longer build websites on WordPress. If you want a site you edit yourself in WordPress or a page builder, we're not the right fit.
What makes us different?
Three things separate a BeaconSites website from what other Dublin agencies offer in 2026:
1. No more platform problems. Static HTML removes the plugins, database and page-builder bloat that make WordPress, Wix and Squarespace slow and fragile. Your site is faster, safer and cheaper to run from the day it launches.
2. AI-native from launch day. Schema markup, FAQ structure and citation-friendly content are built in, not sold as extras. An expert article syndicated across 300+ sites gives AI engines independent sources citing your business from week one.
3. Founder-led delivery. You work directly with Lee Graham — the person making decisions about your project — not a junior account manager. After launch, the same team looks after your site and makes every update for you.

Our process
- 1
Discovery call
A 30-minute call to understand your business, your current website if you have one, and what the new site needs to do. Often produces a quote on the call itself.
- 2
Audit and scope
For rebuilds, we review your existing site — platform, pages, forms, plugins or apps — and confirm how each function is handled. For new sites, we agree pages, features and a fixed price in writing.
- 3
Design and content
A fresh mobile-first design produced as a clickable preview. On rebuilds, your existing content is carried across and improved where it needs it.
- 4
Build and AEO engineering
Your site is built as static HTML with schema markup and FAQ structures, then checked across devices and against our AEO checklist.
- 5
Launch with no downtime
We put your site live, set up redirects where needed and confirm everything works. Your Care Plan starts the same week.
- 6
Launch syndication
Within two weeks of launch, we produce an expert article about your business and syndicate it across 300+ high-traffic sites in 8 formats. AI engines and Google start seeing your brand cited from week one, not month six.
Common questions
Do you build new websites as well as rebuilds?
Yes. We build brand-new websites for businesses starting out or replacing a basic online presence, and we rebuild existing sites. Both are delivered as fast, secure static HTML.
Which platforms can you rebuild from?
WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, Webflow and most other website builders. If customers can see the content on your current site, we can rebuild it as fast static HTML.
Do you still build WordPress websites?
No. We've moved away from WordPress because of the constant updates, security risks and slow mobile speeds. Every site we deliver now is fast, secure static HTML.
How much does a website cost in Ireland in 2026?
BeaconSites websites range from €699 for a brochure site to €29,999 for a premium multilingual build, with most SMEs landing between €1,299 and €9,999. The full breakdown is in our pricing guide.
Will I lose my content or Google rankings on a rebuild?
Your content, pages and URL structure are carried across, and anything that moves gets a redirect. That protects the rankings your current site has built up.
Can I edit the site myself after launch?
Our sites are managed for you. You send us the change and it's done within 2 working days on the Care Plan, which saves you time better spent on paying work.
How long does it take?
A brochure site can be live in 5–10 working days. A small business site typically takes 2–3 weeks. E-commerce, custom and premium projects run 3–12 weeks depending on scope.
Do you build online shops?
Yes. Your shop runs on a dedicated e-commerce platform connected to your fast HTML site, rather than as a WordPress plugin like WooCommerce. We confirm the right platform for your catalogue during scoping.
Your website's job hasn't changed — generate enquiries, sales and trust. What has changed is the platform underneath it. Whether you need a new site or want to replace a slow WordPress, Wix or Squarespace one, BeaconSites delivers fast, secure HTML engineered for Google and AI search.
If you're starting fresh, or your current site is slow, outdated or costing too much to run, that's worth a 30-minute conversation.
