WordPress build on a brand-adapted design — fully mobile-responsive, fast-loading, secure.
Many Dublin web designers still build websites for 2018's search environment — optimised for Google rankings, with SEO bolted on at the end. That worked when Google was the only place customers went to find a business.
In 2026, that's no longer enough. A growing share of search traffic now happens inside AI search engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot. If your website isn't engineered to be cited and quoted by these systems, you're invisible to that traffic. It doesn't matter how good your Google ranking is.
BeaconSites builds WordPress websites that are findable in both worlds — traditional search AND AI search. Every site includes the structural elements AI engines look for: schema markup, citation-friendly content, FAQPage markup, llms.txt, content chunked for AI extraction, and Author / Organisation E-E-A-T signals. This isn't an add-on. It's how we build.
This service is built for Irish SMEs — particularly in trades, professional services, local retail, and B2B service businesses — where the website needs to genuinely generate leads, not just exist for credibility.
If your current website is more than three years old, it almost certainly isn't AEO-ready. If it ranks well on Google but prospects aren't mentioning finding you via ChatGPT or Perplexity yet, you're inside the closing window before that traffic share fully materialises.
We work with businesses ready to invest in the website as a primary commercial asset, not a marketing brochure. Most clients land between the small business build (€1,299 – €2,499) and the custom WordPress build with AEO engineering (€6,999 – €9,999) tiers.
Three things separate a BeaconSites build from what every other Dublin agency offers in 2026:
1. Launch-day consensus signal. Every BeaconSites build ships with an expert article produced in 8 formats and syndicated across 300+ high-traffic sites including Business Insider, AP News, and Apple News. Most agencies leave you to "build your own authority" over months or years of slow content marketing. We generate the citation signal AI engines look for from week one.
2. AI-native architecture: AEO and automation engineered in. Many agencies still build for 2018's search environment, then sell SEO and integration services as upsells. BeaconSites builds websites that are findable in AI search engines from launch day (schema markup, FAQPage structure, llms.txt, citation-friendly content chunking) AND wired into your business systems from day one — your CRM, email, calendars, payments, and AI APIs connect directly into your WordPress install. Automation runs through the veins of every BeaconSites build, not as an upsell or afterthought.
3. Founder-led delivery. You work directly with Lee Graham — the founder, the architect, the person making decisions about your project — not a junior account manager passing requirements to subcontractors. Specialists join the project where their expertise is needed; the relationship runs through Lee.
This combination doesn't exist at any other Dublin agency we know of. It exists at BeaconSites because we were rebuilt around AI search in 2025 rather than treating it as a 2026 add-on to a 2018 service catalogue.

Every business website in 2026 has the same job — generate leads, sales, or credibility. The economics, the competition, and the search environment have all shifted around that job in ways many agencies haven't caught up with yet.
A BeaconSites website is engineered for where customers actually search now, including the AI engines most websites are completely invisible inside. If your current site is more than three years old, or you're not sure it's doing the job it should be doing, that's worth a 30-minute conversation.
