WordPress vs Custom Websites for Local Businesses

Should you use WordPress or a custom-built site? It depends on your business, goals, and who manages the site.

WordPress Pros

• Easy to update
• Thousands of plugins
• Great for blogs

WordPress Cons

• Regular updates required
• Plugin conflicts
• Can be slow

Custom Static Pros

• Faster — no database
• More secure
• No plugin maintenance

For most trades businesses, a well-built static site with managed hosting is the sweet spot. Dominion Web Works builds both and recommends what fits.
