Looked after. With WordPress.

🇮🇪 Based in Dublin, Ireland. You deal with us directly, not an account manager. No long-term contracts.

"I don't want to think about it"

€49/month: updates, backups, security and someone watching the site, so it keeps working.


Keep my website running

"My website is broken"

Error messages, white screens, forms that stopped sending, or a site that died after an update.


Fix my website

"My site was hacked"

Google warnings, spam pages or strange redirects. Cleanup, then a review request to Google.


Clean up my site

"My site is slow"

Slow sites lose customers before the page loads. We measure it, then fix images, caching and plugin bloat.


Speed up my site

"I need to move my site"

New host, new domain, or off Wix or Squarespace. Email and DNS first, so nothing goes missing.


Move my website

"People can't find me on Google"

Your Google Business Profile, your website and your local details, checked and fixed so you show up when people search nearby.


Get my business on Google

Running an online shop? We fix WooCommerce checkouts, payments and order emails too.

Check my business

The site was finished years ago.
Someone still has to keep it working.

Backed
up.

Files and the database, before anything changes. If an update misbehaves, we can restore to this morning.

Updated.

WordPress, the plugins and the theme. We skip anything that looks incompatible and tell you why.

Checked.

The homepage, a couple of pages, the contact form, and the shop checkout if you have one.

Watched.

Uptime and malware in between. If the site goes down, we usually know before a customer does.

  • Back up.
  • Update it.
  • Check it.

You don't have to press Update.

Outdated plugins are how most WordPress sites get hacked. Updates can also break things, which is why they get left.

We do them every month: backup first, then the update, then a check that the site still works. You get a short note of what ran. You run the business.

See the care plan

You deal with us directly.

You don't need a team of account managers, and you don't need a chatbot. We pick up the email, know your site, and get it sorted.

A web agency

Polished, but slow and pricey

Meetings, account managers and a juniors-do-the-work model. You pay for the office and the process, and wait weeks for small changes.

DIY or AI website builder

Fast, but on your own

A template goes up in an afternoon. Then nobody takes the backup, runs the updates, or checks the form still sends.

WP Dublin

We own the result

Since 2002 we've built and fixed over 1000 websites. We use modern tools, including AI, for the heavy lifting, and we stay accountable for the site still working.

Tools we build and use

We also make WordPress plugins through getButterfly. They run on client sites every day, and you can use them on yours.

Speed

Lighthouse

Lightweight performance plugin: speed monitoring, slow query profiling, object caching and login protection.

Already have a website?

Good. You probably don't need to start again.

Most of our work is keeping a site that already exists up to date. Often it is fine, and what it needs is someone to back it up, update it, and notice when a form stops sending. We'll tell you honestly if it needs a repair first, or a new site.

Made for small businesses

Plumbers, hairdressers, builders, solicitors, restaurants, shops, estate agents and B&Bs. Most of our customers don't want to think about their website at all. They want it to keep working while they run the business.

You don't need to understand hosting, plugins or updates. That's our job. You get a website that works, a plain-English note of what we did, and a direct line to us if anything ever looks off.

Why WordPress?

WordPress powers about 40% of the web, which means your website isn't locked to any one company — including us. You own everything, and any developer can work on it. We keep it that way: no lock-in, no proprietary tricks, full access to your own site at all times.

And if WordPress isn't the right fit for your business, we'll say so. We move sites both ways.

Backed up. Updated. Checked. That's the care plan, every month, for the WordPress sites we look after.

Questions about keeping a site working

Short, honest answers about the care plan, and about what to do when a site is already broken.

The care plan

How much is website maintenance per month?

Our Website Care plan is €49 a month, with no contract. That covers WordPress, plugin and theme updates, backups, malware protection, uptime monitoring and a real person to email when something looks wrong. You also get a short record of what was updated. The invoice is not that record. For context on what everyone else charges, see website maintenance costs in Ireland.

How often should I update WordPress plugins?

Security updates should go on within days. Other updates can be done weekly or monthly, but always with a backup first and a check afterwards that the site still works. That's exactly what the €49/month plan does.

Do I have to stay on the plan?

No. It is month to month. You should be able to hand the site to another developer, or do the updates yourself. The plan is there if you would rather not.

Getting found on Google

Why is my business not showing on Google Maps?

Usually one of four things: the Google Business Profile isn't verified, it's in the wrong category, your address or service area is set up badly, or Google has found conflicting details about you elsewhere on the web. A new or thin profile with no reviews also struggles to show up against established competitors nearby. We check all of these in the Technical SEO & Get Found Audit.

Why is my website not showing on Google search?

First, check whether Google knows about it at all: search for site:yourbusiness.ie. If nothing shows, the site may be blocked from indexing (a leftover "discourage search engines" setting in WordPress is a classic), missing a sitemap, or too new. If it shows but doesn't rank, the problem is usually thin content, slow pages, or pages that don't say clearly what you do and where you do it.

How long does SEO take to work?

Technical fixes, like unblocking a site or fixing a broken sitemap, can show results within days, because Google simply starts seeing pages it couldn't see before. Ranking higher for competitive searches takes longer, typically months. For a local business, getting the Google Business Profile and website details right is often the fastest win.

How much does SEO cost in Ireland?

One-off audits run roughly €450 to €3,000 and monthly retainers €250 to €2,500, depending entirely on what's actually included — we've published the real Irish prices and what each band buys you. We sell one thing here: a fixed-price Technical SEO & Get Found Audit (€450), with a free 5-point check first. You get a prioritised list of what's stopping people finding you, and you can fix it yourself, have your developer do it, or ask us.

What is a technical SEO audit?

It's a check of everything that affects whether search engines can find, read and trust your site: crawlability, indexing, sitemaps, page speed, mobile experience, structured data, titles and descriptions, broken links and security. It also covers your Google Business Profile and whether your contact details are consistent across the web, because for a local business that matters just as much.

Costs and what we do

Do you build new websites?

Yes, when it is a straightforward business site. That is €500, hosting is separate, and the quiz tells you if the price fits. There is a separate page for WordPress web design in Dublin. A full shop, or a site several people have to edit, is quoted separately.

Do I really need a website for my business?

Not always. A busy tradesperson with a full diary and a good Google Business Profile can do fine without one. But if you want new customers to find you, compare you and trust you, a website is the one place online that you fully own and control. Social media and directories can change the rules overnight.

Who owns my website and domain?

You should. The domain should be registered in your name or your company's name, and you should have the logins for the domain, hosting and website. If a previous developer holds any of these, ask for them now, not when something breaks. When we work on a site, you keep full ownership and access.

WordPress

Is WordPress still relevant in 2027?

Yes. It still runs a huge share of the web, it's open source, and you're never locked in to one company. But it's not the only option any more, and for a simple site it's not always the best one. We'll tell you honestly which fits your business.

Is WordPress good for SEO and small businesses?

WordPress gives you everything you need to rank well, but it doesn't do it for you. Slow themes, too many plugins and missing basics hold a lot of WordPress sites back. Set up properly, it's an excellent platform for a small business.

How do I fix a WordPress critical error?

"There has been a critical error on this website" almost always means a plugin, theme or PHP version conflict, often after an update. Check your admin email: WordPress usually sends a recovery link. If that doesn't work, or you'd rather not touch it, We'll fix it, usually the same day.

Why is my WordPress site not loading?

The most common causes are an expired domain or hosting account, an SSL certificate problem, a hosting outage, a plugin that crashed the site, or a hack. If you see an error message, note it down. It tells us a lot. If you see nothing at all, check that your domain and hosting bills are paid.

WordPress, Wix or Squarespace?

Wix and Squarespace are quick to start and fine for simple sites, but you rent them, and moving away later is hard. WordPress takes a little more care but you own it, and any developer can work on it. If you're unsure, ask us. We move sites in both directions.

I used getButterfly for a complete overhaul of my website. I have to say, very happy with their work. High-quality, responsive and quick turning things around.

They set up our new website, propertyvision.ie, and we are delighted with our website and the backup we had whenever we needed it was there. Ciprian was always available to answer anything we needed, or to help with any changes on the website.

Getting dairemccann.ie live and indexed was seamless and fast. From initial setup through launch, everything was handled professionally — the site went live ahead of schedule and was indexed by Google quicker than I expected.

The communication was clear throughout, and I felt supported at every step. Highly recommend this service for anyone who needs their website live and visible without delays.

— Daire McCann

Five star review

Our site cormachassett.ie was essentially dormant, but the technical SEO and security audit completely revived it. The audit uncovered issues we didn't even know were holding us back, and the fixes made an immediate difference in performance and visibility.

The attention to detail and clear explanations made the whole process feel effortless. If your site needs a reset, this is the team to trust.

— Cormac Hassett

Five star review

We had our WooCommerce store cleaned up, sped up, and properly optimised — and the difference has been remarkable. Page load times dropped significantly, the checkout experience is much smoother, and our product pages are finally ranking for the terms that matter.

getButterfly clearly understand WooCommerce inside and out. They identified conversion blockers we hadn't even noticed and tackled them without any fuss. Sales have improved and the site just feels right now. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.
