Hiring FAQs

Common questions when hiring a WordPress partner.

Custom Theme vs. Pre-made Theme: Which is better?

**Custom Themes** are built for your specific needs, are faster, and more secure, but cost $10k+. **Pre-made Themes** (like Avada) are cheaper ($5k) but often come with "code bloat" that slows down your site and hurts SEO.

Why do I need a Maintenance Plan?

WordPress is open source, meaning plugins and the core software are updated constantly to patch security holes. Without a maintenance plan ($100-$300/mo), your site is vulnerable to hacking and breaking after auto-updates.

Is WordPress secure for Enterprise?

Yes, when managed correctly. Big brands like TechCrunch and Sony use WordPress. Security depends on your hosting (e.g., WP Engine, VIP), keeping plugins minimal, and regular audits.

What is Headless WordPress?

Headless WordPress uses WP for content management (backend) but uses modern JavaScript (React/Next.js) to display the site. This offers **unbeatable speed** and security but requires a higher budget and skilled developers.
