Why Choose Custom Coded Websites Over WordPress?

After analyzing dozens of Anacortes business websites, we consistently find WordPress sites scoring between 30-40/100 on Google's performance metrics. This poor performance directly impacts your bottom line. Learn more about why this matters for your business. Here's why our approach delivers better results:

Speed Issues That Cost You Money

When your website takes more than 3 seconds to load, you lose 50% of your visitors instantly. WordPress sites typically take 5-8 seconds to load because they're weighed down with unnecessary code, plugins, and database queries. Our hand-coded sites load in under 1 second, keeping potential customers on your site instead of bouncing back to Google.

Security Vulnerabilities

WordPress powers over 40% of all websites, making it the biggest target for hackers. Each plugin adds another potential entry point for attacks. Miss an update? Your site could be compromised. Our static HTML sites have no databases or plugins to exploit - they're virtually impossible to hack and never need security updates.

Why Custom Code Makes Your Business Better

Instead of relying on bloated templates and page builders, we write every line of code by hand. This approach delivers significant advantages:

Google Loves Clean Code

WordPress generates what developers call "spaghetti code" - it's messy, tangled, and hard for search engines to understand. Our clean, efficient code makes it easy for Google to crawl and index your content, leading to better search rankings.

True Mobile-First Development

Page builders claim to be "mobile responsive," but they're really just squeezing desktop sites onto smaller screens. We build for mobile devices first, then expand to larger screens. This approach matches exactly how Google evaluates websites, improving your mobile rankings.

Conversion-Focused Design

Templates force you to fit your content into pre-built layouts. Our custom approach means every element is strategically placed to guide visitors toward contacting you. We build proven conversion funnels directly into your site's architecture.

The Custom Code Difference

No Plugin Dependencies

Need a new feature on WordPress? That'll be another monthly plugin fee. Our sites include all functionality in the base price - no extra costs, no plugin conflicts, no performance hits from third-party code.

Complete Creative Freedom

Page builders limit what's possible with your design. Want something unique? You'll hit their limitations quickly. With custom code, we can create exactly what your business needs - no compromises, no limitations.

Built for Long-Term Performance

WordPress sites slow down over time as plugins conflict and databases bloat. Our static sites maintain their blazing speed year after year with zero maintenance required. They're built to perform for the long haul.

We Build Faster Websites For Anacortes Businesses That Reach more Users

The difference isn't just technical - it's financial. Faster sites mean more visitors stay and convert. Better mobile performance also means higher rankings since Google ranks your website based on how your mobile site performs, called "Mobile First Indexing". When you add it all up, custom code delivers a better return on your investment than any template or page builder ever could because we solve more problems than they can.

What About WordPress Updates?

WordPress requires constant attention: plugin updates, theme updates, core updates, security patches. Miss one, and your site could break or be hacked. Our static sites never need updates - they just work, year after year, without maintenance headaches.

The Cost Advantage

While WordPress might seem cheaper initially, the real costs add up quickly: premium themes, monthly plugin fees, security monitoring, ongoing maintenance, speed optimization services, and not reaching as many people as you should because of slow load times and improperly stuctured content and website layout. Our all-inclusive rate of $175/month covers everything, with no surprise costs or hidden fees.
