The most common way these sites get built, and what it means for you two years in.
Most home service websites are built on WordPress. It's the default choice, it's flexible, and more people can work on it than on any other platform.
The differences show up later, in maintenance and in who has to handle it.
A WordPress build gives you a fully open platform. You can host it anywhere, hire almost anyone to work on it, and add a plugin for nearly anything you can think of.
The cost is upkeep. Core updates, theme updates, plugin updates and security patches all have to happen, and when a plugin conflict takes the site down on a Friday night, someone has to be paid to fix it. Sites built cheaply on a page builder with fifteen plugins are also usually slow on a phone, and speed matters when the customer is standing in a driveway on a cell connection.
We build in Webflow. There are no plugins to update and no security patches to chase, and hosting is handled by Webflow directly at $300 a year, billed to you without any markup from us.
The tradeoff is that Webflow is a hosted platform. You can export the site, but you can't host it in as many places as a WordPress site, and some specialized functionality is easier to build on WordPress. If you need that, we'll tell you.
