WordPress vs custom website in Pakistan
WordPress is everywhere. Custom code is cleaner when you care about speed, uniqueness, and long-term control. Here is how to choose.
Choose WordPress when
You need many editors, a huge plugin ecosystem, or your team already runs WordPress well.
Choose custom when
You want a fast, branded site, fewer security/plugin headaches, and a developer who owns the stack — ideal for most SMB brochure and booking sites I ship.
Frequently asked questions
- Is WordPress cheaper?
- Often at first if you use a theme. Custom can be better value when you need unique UX, performance, or complex features without plugin sprawl.
- What do you build?
- I primarily build custom websites and software. If WordPress is mandatory, I will say whether I am the right person for the job.
