Making the Right Choice
Choosing between WordPress and custom development is one of the most important decisions a business can make. Each approach has distinct advantages depending on your goals, budget, and timeline.
WordPress Advantages
WordPress powers over 43% of all websites. Its strengths include rapid development, extensive plugin ecosystem, and ease of use for non-technical users.
Custom Development Benefits
Custom solutions offer unlimited flexibility, superior performance, and complete control over functionality. They are ideal for complex applications with unique requirements.
Cost Comparison
WordPress projects typically cost £2,000-£8,000, while custom solutions range from £10,000 to £50,000+. However, total cost of ownership should be considered over 5 years.
Performance
Custom applications generally outperform WordPress sites, especially for high-traffic scenarios. However, optimized WordPress sites can achieve excellent performance.
