What WordPress offers

WordPress is a widespread solution that lets you build a site with ready-made themes and plugins. Its strength: a manageable starting cost and a large community. You can often edit your own text and images.

In return, a proliferation of plugins can weigh the site down and require regular updates to stay secure.

What custom-built brings

A custom-built site is developed specifically for your needs. It offers total freedom of design and features, without any useless extra layer.

  • Optimised performance, without superfluous plugins
  • Features tailored to your trade
  • A lighter base to secure

Its initial cost is generally higher and modifying it often requires a technical specialist.

How to decide based on your situation

Ask yourself three questions: do I have standard or specific needs? Will I edit the content myself? What budget can I devote to the start and to upkeep? A classic showcase site works very well with WordPress, while a project with particular functions justifies custom-built.

There is no bad solution, only a solution suited or not to your context. At Skywebis, we advise the most relevant approach for your goals, without dogmatism.
