The Hidden Cost of "Cheap" Websites
WordPress sites average $200-500/month in plugin fees, hosting, and maintenance. Over 3 years, that's $7,200-$18,000 - often more than a custom website that performs 3x better.

Common Questions
Why is custom-coded better than WordPress?
WordPress sites are built on old technology, require constant updates, and rely on plugins that slow everything down. Custom sites are built with modern tech, load 3-5x faster, rank better on Google, and don't have security vulnerabilities from plugins. Plus, no monthly plugin fees.
What about maintenance and updates?
Custom sites require far less maintenance than WordPress. No plugin updates, no security patches, no compatibility issues. We provide training so you can make content updates yourself, or we offer maintenance packages if you prefer hands-off management.
Can I edit content myself?
Absolutely! We build a custom content management system tailored to your needs. It's much simpler than WordPress because it only has the features you actually need. We provide full training and documentation.
How long does development take?
Landing pages take 2-3 weeks, business sites 3-6 weeks, and complex applications 8-16 weeks. Yes, it's longer than slapping together a template, but the performance gains and long-term benefits are worth the wait.
What if I need changes after launch?
All projects include post-launch support and revisions. After that, we offer retainer packages for ongoing improvements, or we can quote individual changes. Since you own the code, you can also hire any developer to make changes.
Is it really worth the higher upfront cost?
Consider this: A WordPress site costing $3,000 upfront + $300/month in plugins/maintenance costs $13,800 over 3 years. A $10,000 custom site with no monthly fees saves you money while performing 3x better. Better performance means more customers and revenue. Most clients see ROI within 6-12 months.
