vs WordPress
WordPress works. But you have to keep fixing it.
A WordPress site is made of many add-ons, called plugins. Each one needs updates. If one breaks, your site can break too.

The short version
WordPress is like a car you have to keep taking to the shop.
WordPress was a great idea, and many sites still use it. But most WordPress sites need a stack of plugins to do simple things, like forms or bookings. Someone has to keep all of them up to date. A site we build has no plugins. It is plain code that you own.
The fair list
What staying on WordPress means for you
security
Plugins are a common way in for hackers
Because so many sites use WordPress, bots try to break into WordPress sites all the time. Old or weak plugins are a common way in. You have to keep every one updated.
lockin
Many add-ons, many updates
A form is a plugin. Search tools are a plugin. Speed fixes are a plugin. Each one comes from a different company and updates on its own schedule. Sometimes an update breaks something else.
speed
It can get slow
Every plugin adds more code to each page. Big page-design plugins add a lot. Slow pages can make visitors leave.
cost
“Free” is not free
WordPress itself is free. Good hosting, paid themes, paid plugins, and help when it breaks are not.
The Launch
What you get with us instead
No plugins to keep updating. Your site is plain code.
On one live 2-hour call, we set up the tools you want: online booking, payments into your own account, a client portal, and one contact list. We test each one with you.
We teach you to change your site yourself. You type what you want in plain English, and the site changes.
You own the code. Your site runs in your own account with a web host. The host bills you about $20 US a month. That is the host's bill, in US dollars. Our prices are in Canadian dollars. We charge $0 a month.
Pay once for the build. Card fees go to your own payment company, not to us.
Moving over
Your WordPress site comes with you
Every Launch moves your whole WordPress site over, with nothing left out. It does not cost extra.

Questions people ask
What if I already have a WordPress site I like?
Every Launch moves your whole WordPress site to your new site: pages, posts, files, forms, your store, your members, and what your plugins do. Old links send people to the new pages. Type your web address in the box above to see what a Launch would set up. Then you decide.
What does “change it yourself in plain English” mean?
It is called vibe coding. You type what you want, like “add a page about our new service.” An AI tool makes the change. You look at it and keep it or ask again. We show you how on your Launch call.
