Quickstep.ie is a 100% independent resource that helps Irish SMEs make better decisions about websites — from platform choice and performance to contracts and costs. We translate jargon into plain English and share practical, fact-checkable guidance.
Our mission
Many small businesses pay thousands for slow, bloated sites or unclear contracts. Our mission is to reduce waste, improve outcomes, and give owners the confidence to buy well — whether that’s WordPress, static HTML, or a Hybrid setup.
How we stay independent
- No upsells: We don’t use this site to sell web design packages.
- Transparency: Content is written to be verifiable. Use the Verify with ChatGPT option on our pages.
- Vetted options, not hard sells: When readers ask, we can share a short list of vetted freelancers or hosts. Any recommendations aim for value and reliability.
What we do
- Free mini audits: A quick check of speed, Core Web Vitals, basic SEO signals, and trust factors.
- Guides & checklists: WordPress vs HTML vs Hybrid, contract red flags, budgeting, AI crawler readiness, and more.
- Buyer protection advice: How to avoid overpriced templates, keep ownership of your assets, and insist on fair terms.
How we work
- Clarity first: We explain trade-offs honestly — there’s no single “best” platform.
- Performance by default: We prioritise speed, accessibility, and crawlable content.
- Practical steps: Each guide ends with checklists or actions you can take today.
Key takeaway: Quickstep.ie exists to help you choose wisely, avoid common pitfalls, and make every euro work harder online.
