WordPress vs Custom Website
This is one of the most common questions I get from business owners. Here is an honest comparison.
Quick Comparison
| Factor | WordPress | Custom (Next.js/React) |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | ₹15K - ₹50K | ₹50K - ₹3L+ |
| Speed | Moderate | Excellent |
| SEO | Plugin-dependent | Built-in |
| Security | Frequent vulnerabilities | More secure |
| Scalability | Limited | High |
| Maintenance | Plugin updates | Lower maintenance |
Choose WordPress If:
- Budget is under ₹50,000
- You need a simple blog or brochure site
- You want to update content yourself easily
- Timeline is very tight (1-2 weeks)
Choose Custom If:
- You need fast page speeds (Core Web Vitals)
- SEO is critical for your business
- You want unique functionality
- Long-term scalability matters
- Security is a priority
My Recommendation
For businesses serious about growth and online presence, a custom Next.js website delivers better SEO, speed, and security. WordPress works for simple blogs and landing pages.
Discuss your website project and I will recommend the best approach.
