WordPress vs Custom Website – Which is Better?

One of the first decisions you'll make: WordPress or custom development? Both have merits. Let's compare.

**Pros:**

Lower cost (₹8k‑20k for basic sites)

Easy to update – you can manage content yourself

Thousands of themes and plugins

Large community support

**Cons:**

Can be slower if overloaded with plugins

Security depends on updates

Less flexibility for unique functionality

**Pros:**

100% tailored to your needs

Faster performance (no unnecessary code)

Better security (no popular platform to target)

Scalable for complex applications

**Cons:**

Higher cost (₹50k+)

Longer development time

Requires developer for updates

**Small local shops, cafes, hotels** – WordPress is often sufficient and budget‑friendly.

**Tourism portals, booking platforms, custom apps** – Custom development gives you flexibility.

**E‑commerce** – Both can work; WordPress with WooCommerce is common, but custom offers more control.
