01Intro
N° VS · WordPress

WordPress vs a custom stack. When a CMS, and when custom.

WordPress powers a large slice of the web and has a plugin for everything. That same flexibility is also its tax: maintenance, security and speed.
02Limits

  • 01

    Maintenance debt: core plus plugins need regular updates. A skipped update is a security risk, not cosmetics.

  • 02

    Security: installs running dozens of plugins are a frequent target of automated attacks through known CVEs.

  • 03

    Performance: every plugin adds JavaScript. In our audits a site with a booking or page-builder plugin often lands at LCP 5-7s on mobile.

03The fix

  1. 01

    Fixed price, no surprises

    Landing €349, Marketing €799, E-shop €1,399 one-time, or from €700 on the CO-PILOT plan (50% on signing, then only care). You know the number up front; the comparison draws on the public DevNova Index.

  2. 02

    Delivered in 11 days

    A fixed product process with a clear scope, not an open-ended retainer billed by the hour. You know when the site goes live.

  3. 03

    You own the code

    Git repo, domain and hosting handed over on launch day. No vendor lock-in, and maintenance isn't tied to us.

  4. 04

    EU-compliant, remote

    We work in your language, data stays in the EU (Vercel Frankfurt). Cancel the care plan any time.

04Open pricing

Three ways to start — pick the one your cash flow likes.

For this niche we typically pick the Marketing tier (basePrice €799). You then choose a payment plan plus an optional care plan.
  • ONE-TIME

    One-time buyout from €799.

    Single payment at launch. On launch day you receive the Git repo, the domain, and full documentation. No recurring commitment.

  • CO-PILOT

    CO-PILOT with 50% off.

    Half on signing (50%), then a care plan from €15/mo on annual billing. Care covers hosting, the domain and monthly content updates.

  • IGNITION

    €0 to start. €67/mo for 12 months.

    Zero-upfront code lease. You only pay once the site is live. After month 12 the code transfers to you automatically. Built for businesses without launch capital.

05Fair view

WordPress is the right choice in these cases.

  • 01

    A content-heavy blog or magazine. If you publish daily and have an editorial team used to WordPress, its editor and workflow are proven.

  • 02

    You need a specific plugin ecosystem. When your business runs on a particular WordPress plugin (a large WooCommerce setup, say), staying makes sense.

  • 03

    You have an in-house WP maintainer. If someone internal owns updates, backups and security, the maintenance debt stays under control.
