Why We Do Not Use WordPress

Last Updated February 16, 2021

We do not use out-of-the-box website builder software like WordPress. Gasp! We know. With 39% of the web built on WordPress, you can see why it’s natural gravitation for web designers. But what's the catch? 

We custom build your website from the ground up with the long-term success of your business in mind.

We do not build your website on out-of-the-box website builder software because you are not in control of what you can and cannot build. And for some, you aren't even in control of your data!

There. We said it. We build websites with our own custom, in-house software because we're control freaks. And when it comes to your online business you should be too!

How does a custom website benefit my business long-term? 

It’s hard to believe that so many businesses are locked in to endlessly maintaining themes, widgets, and backups. It’s a vicious cycle that forces businesses large and small to pay for a maintenance plan just to keep it all from crashing down. 

There is a better way. 

Many web design companies consist of talented designers. They are skillfully able to translate human thoughts into stunning productions. When it comes to website development though, that means they are designing stunning layouts around a prebuilt theme. They are not building the software from the ground up nor do they have the extensive knowledge of web security, accessibility, usability, and coding languages to build their own solutions for you. 

• We have a talented team of designers and developers working together to continuously build new features and solutions as the landscape of technology changes.  
  
  
• Your features are not limited by the constraints of a pre-built platform.  
  
  
• Your designs and applications are unique to your business or organization. 
  
  
• You can pivot quickly to the ever-changing landscape of web applications to provide the solutions you need right now. Pandemic much? 
  
  
• Your solutions change as your business changes. That registration process that worked well the first year by manually processing forms is now crushing your administrative time. You need web automation to do the heavy lifting.  
  
  
• You don't have to worry about themes or installing a widget for every feature you are using on your site. We do our fair share of integrating with robust industry-specific software programs, but we also offer solutions based on more than a decade of client input and requests. 

What about making edits to my website? 

We built and offer the experience necessary content management system that allows you to make all your content edits easily. Learn more about content management systems. 

For anything that you cannot edit on your own, use our Support App to submit a request for training or solutions. We review your requests and provide both cost-effective options and robust solutions so you can decide what works best for your business. 

Conclusion 

So, you can implement a website design on WordPress or Wix easily. However, the result is a decent-looking site with intimidating editing tools, limited functionality, and the need for a web provider’s constant attention to your widgets and theme to keep it from crashing or getting hacked.
