Custom Code vs. WordPress for Lower Hutt Businesses: Why Custom is the Best Choice
When reviewing local business websites, we often see WordPress sites scoring between 30-40/100 on Google's performance metrics. This is no surprise—WordPress comes with a lot of built-in limitations that hinder your business's performance. Here’s why our custom-coded approach delivers far better results:
Speed That Keeps Visitors Engaged on Your Site
Research shows that you lose 50% of visitors if your website takes more than 3 seconds to load. Many WordPress sites take 5-8 seconds due to unnecessary plugins, theme files, and database queries. Our custom-coded websites load in under 1 second because every line of code is purposeful—there’s no excess to slow things down.
Genuine Mobile-First Design and Development
WordPress themes may claim to be "mobile responsive," but they’re essentially desktop sites scaled down for mobile. This outdated approach negatively impacts performance and rankings. We take a mobile-first approach, designing for mobile devices first and then adapting for larger screens, ensuring flawless performance across all devices—just as Google recommends.
Unmatched Security Without the Need for Constant Updates
WordPress sites are frequent targets for hackers due to their numerous vulnerabilities. Each plugin and theme introduces another potential security risk, requiring constant updates to avoid breaches. Our static HTML sites, however, have no databases or plugins to exploit—making them nearly impossible to hack and eliminating the need for ongoing security updates.
Optimized, Clean Code That Google Loves
WordPress generates messy, bloated code that confuses search engines. It's like trying to count tangled spaghetti noodles—Google struggles to make sense of it. Our custom-coded sites, however, are clean and efficient, making it easy for Google to crawl and index your content, which leads to improved rankings.
No Ongoing Plugin Fees
Need a feature on WordPress? There’s likely a plugin for it—often with a monthly fee. These costs can quickly add up. Our custom-coded websites include all the functionality you need in the base price, with no additional plugin fees or hidden costs.
Optimized for Conversions
WordPress themes require you to squeeze your content into pre-designed layouts. With our custom approach, every element is thoughtfully positioned to lead visitors toward taking action. We integrate conversion funnels directly into the site’s structure, turning more visitors into customers.
Total Creative Control in Design
Page builders and WordPress themes restrict your design possibilities. Looking for something unique? You'll quickly encounter their limitations. With custom code, we can craft exactly what your business needs—no compromises, no restrictions, and no settling for "almost right."
Sustained Performance Over Time
WordPress sites tend to slow down over time due to plugin conflicts, broken features from updates, and bloated databases. Our static sites, on the other hand, retain their lightning-fast speed year after year with no maintenance needed. They're designed to deliver long-term performance.

The Competitive Edge of Speed for Your Business
Every second matters in today’s digital world. If a website takes longer than 3 seconds to load, 50% of visitors leave. Most template-built sites in Lower Hutt take 5-8 seconds to load—resulting in lost business you can’t afford.
