Sitefront vs Web60
Both are Irish, both use AI to get your website started, and both include hosting and a free domain for the first year. Web60 is cheaper and gives you full WordPress, including an online shop. Sitefront is built so you never have to learn a website tool: your site is written for your trade from a few answers, and you change it by tapping on it.

Which is cheaper?
Web60 is. Its plan is €60 a year before VAT, which comes to €73.80 with VAT at 23%. Sitefront's standard price is €120 a year, with no VAT added because Sitefront isn't VAT-registered. The first 50 businesses on Sitefront's yearly plan pay €60 a year for as long as they stay, which is less than Web60 with VAT, but that offer ends on 28 February 2027.
The real difference: WordPress or not
Web60 gives you a WordPress website. That's powerful: thousands of plugins and themes, an online shop, and complete control. It also means learning WordPress, and keeping plugins and themes sensible as your site grows.
Sitefront isn't WordPress. There's nothing to install or update, and no admin area to learn. You change your site by tapping on it, the same way you'd edit a message on your phone. The trade-off is less flexibility: no plugins and no online shop.
When is Web60 the better choice?
- You want the lowest yearly price
- You want WordPress, or already know it
- You want to sell products online
- You want a free .ie domain rather than a .com
When is Sitefront the better choice?
- You don't want to learn WordPress or any website tool
- You want your services, registrations and the areas you cover written up for you
- You want to make changes from your phone in seconds
- You'd rather pay monthly without a yearly commitment
- You're one of the first 50 and can lock in €60 a year
