The short answer
WordPress is great for simple blogs. For a business website that must be fast, secure and unique, a custom build usually wins.
Speed
Plugin-heavy WordPress sites often load in 4–8 seconds on mobile. A custom-coded site ships only what it needs and typically loads in 1–2 seconds.
Security
Most WordPress hacks come through outdated plugins. A custom site has no plugin marketplace to exploit.
Editing content
A common myth is that custom sites are hard to update. Every Siviiy website includes an admin panel for your text, images, services and reviews.
Cost
WordPress looks cheaper up-front, but premium themes, plugins, security fixes and speed work add up. Compare the total cost over three years, not just day one.
