Why Choose Hand-Coded Websites Over WordPress?
After evaluating countless Stockton business websites, we repeatedly discover WordPress sites achieving 30 to 40 out of 100 on Google's PageSpeed Insights. How this directly affects your businesses revenue potential and creates a bad first impression. Keep reading to discover why our method delivers better results that shouldn't be underestimated:
Performance Problems That Harm Your Profits
If your website takes more than three seconds to load, up to half your visitors could leave before it even shows. WordPress sites commonly take 5-8 seconds to load due to bloated code, excessive plugins, and sluggish database queries. Our custom-coded websites load almost instantly, ensuring potential customers engage with your content rather than returning to search results.
Secure By Design
WordPress sites are a hacker’s favourite target. If you don’t keep up with endless plugin and system updates, you’re at risk. Our sites are different: static, secure, and built without databases or server-side requests that can be hijacked. In simple terms, there’s nothing for hackers to break into.
Why Choose Hand-Coded Websites Over WordPress?
Rather than depending on bloated templates and drag-and-drop builders, we craft every line of code manually. This methodology provides substantial benefits:
Better Rankings On Google
WordPress produces what skilled developers term "bloated code" - it's inefficient, and challenging for search engines to interpret. Our streamlined, purposeful code enables Google to crawl and index your content effortlessly, resulting in improved search positions. Google prefers fast, well-built websites. With better Core Web Vitals, longer visitor sessions, and more page views. That means higher rankings, more visibility, and more revenue coming your way.
Genuine Mobile-First Design
Page builder agencies advertise "mobile responsiveness," but they're essentially compressing desktop sites onto smaller displays. We design for mobile devices initially, then scale up to larger screens. This strategy aligns perfectly with how Google assesses websites, boosting your mobile search rankings.
Conversion-Optimised Design
Templates restrict you to predetermined layouts regardless of your needs. Our bespoke approach ensures every component is strategically positioned to encourage visitors toward taking action. We integrate proven conversion pathways directly into your site's structure.
The Hand-Coded Difference
No Plugin Reliance
Our sites incorporate all functionality within the base package - no additional charges, no plugin incompatibilities, no performance degradation from third-party code.
Built to Last
They say that "you buy cheap, you buy twice", with WordPress sites you don't necessarily buy chep, but if you want quality, you do pay twice. These sites deteriorate over time as plugins clash and databases expand. Our static sites preserve their exceptional speed indefinitely with zero maintenance demands. They're engineered to perform for years to come.
Total Design Freedom
Page builders constrain what's achievable with your design. Want something distinctive? You'll encounter their restrictions rapidly. With bespoke code, we can build precisely what your business requires - no compromises, no boundaries.
We Build Lightning-Fast Websites For Stockton-On-Tees Businesses That Attract More Customers
The distinction isn't merely technical - it's commercial. Faster sites retain more visitors who convert into customers. Superior mobile performance also translates to higher rankings since Google evaluates your website based on mobile performance, known as "Mobile First Indexing". Combined together, bespoke code provides a stronger return on investment than any template or page builder possibly could because we address challenges they cannot.
What About WordPress Maintenance?
WordPress demands continuous attention: plugin updates, theme updates, core updates, security fixes. Neglect one, and your site may crash or face security breaches. Our static sites never require updates - they simply function, year after year, without maintenance complications.
The Financial Advantage
Whilst WordPress might appear more affordable initially, the genuine costs escalate rapidly: premium themes, monthly plugin subscriptions, security monitoring, continuous maintenance, speed optimisation services, and reduced reach due to slow loading times and poorly structured content and website architecture. Our comprehensive rate of £125 monthly includes everything, with no unexpected costs or concealed charges.
