Explore the DifferenceWordPress, Shopify, and similar CMS platforms seem like easy solutions — until the recurring costs, security vulnerabilities, and constant maintenance stack up. Here's what you're really paying for.
Costly Recurring Expenses Premium themes, plugins, modules, and platform subscriptions add up fast — often $100–$500/month or more with licensing fees, page builders, SEO tools, and e-commerce add-ons are factored in.
Relentless Ongoing Maintenance Core updates, plugin updates, theme compatibility — CMS platforms demand regular attention. Skip an update cycle and you risk broken functionality or a compromised site.
Third-Party Security Vulnerabilities Every plugin, API key, and module is a potential attack vector. WordPress accounts for over 90% of all hacked CMS websites. Third-party code you didn't write is code you can't fully trust.
Vendor Lock-In Your content, your store, your data — often tied to a platform's proprietary structure. Migrating away can be costly and complex.
Fully Custom Admin Interfaces Edit content, pricing, images, inventory — all through a clean dashboard built specifically for your workflow. No plugins, no learning curve, no unnecessary bloat.
Complete Ownership Every line of code, every database record, every asset — yours entirely. No platform can change their terms, raise prices, or shut down your business.
Virtually Maintenance-Free Custom sites don't require plugin updates or CMS patches. Once deployed, your only recurring costs are DNS registration and hosting — typically under $200/year total.
Inherently More Secure No third-party plugins means no third-party vulnerabilities. Custom-coded sites are far less visible targets than the world's most common CMS platform.
