Stop Paying Premium Rent for WordPress Bloat
WordPress had its era. Today it is a choose-your-own-adventure of plug-ins, theme marketplaces, and agency retainers whose sole job is making sure the whole Jenga tower doesn’t topple during auto-updates. That’s not engineering. That’s maintenance therapy.
The real cost of “free” WordPress
- Themes: $49–$199 for someone else’s layout, reskinned with your logo. Hope they keep shipping patches.
- Plugins: Every extra feature is another performance hit and another update to babysit. Multiply that by 20.
- Hosting: You end up on WP Engine (solid platform, premium price) just to keep the stack from imploding.
- Agency retainers: Monthly invoices so someone can click “Update now” and pray the carousel still loads.
Add it up and you are paying enterprise money for a Frankenstack that still buckles under traffic spikes.
Why we walked away
We were done pretending WordPress was the answer for every project. So we built our own builder: AI-assisted scaffolding that ships production-ready pages without the plug-in roulette. No theme roulette, no ten-second load times, no surprise invoices.
- AI-first flow: Describe the module; we generate clean components tied to your design system.
- Zero bloat: Static-first output, edge caching, Core Web Vitals locked.
- Only call us when you need to: If you want our engineers to extend it, we’re here. If not, the builder stands on its own.
Stop renting a WordPress mess from an agency that upcharges you for maintenance. Own a stack that just works. Let’s build your next site without the bloat.
