Is WordPress Right for Your Business?

🔐 Security Risks Are Built In

Because WordPress is so widely used, it’s a huge target for hackers. And with thousands of third-party plugins—many of which are poorly maintained—the attack surface grows fast.

• Frequent plugin vulnerabilities
• Outdated themes and core files
• Amateur-coded add-ons that expose your site

Unless you’re on top of every update (and have a developer on hand), your site becomes a ticking time bomb.

🐌 It’s Slow Out of the Box

WordPress sites can become sluggish very quickly. Even with basic themes, adding just a few plugins can impact load time—and that hurts your Google ranking, user experience, and ultimately conversion rate.
Modern frameworks (like those we use at Foxtrot Defence) are:

• Blazing fast
• Lightweight
• Built for performance

Fast sites rank better and keep visitors engaged. Why settle for slow?

🎨 Template-Based Design Hurts Branding

Most WordPress sites rely on off-the-shelf themes. While some are nicely designed, they’re still templates—used by thousands of other websites.
Your business deserves a custom-built site that reflects your unique identity. At Foxtrot Defence, we design and develop sites from the ground up so:

• Your site is unique, not cookie-cutter
• The user journey is crafted for your audience
• Every pixel is aligned with your brand goals

🛠 It’s Overkill for Simple Sites

Need a simple brochure site? A landing page? A small online store? WordPress can be like using a chainsaw to slice butter. It’s clunky, overcomplicated, and resource-heavy for what many small businesses actually need.

We build lean, maintainable sites that:

• Load instantly
• Have no bloated admin panels
• Are easy to update via modern CMS tools

🚫 SEO Shortcomings

Despite the SEO plugins available, WordPress doesn’t guarantee good rankings. In fact, unless your site is properly configured (and constantly tweaked), it can be less SEO-friendly than modern frameworks with:

• Semantic markup
• Clean URLs
• Automatic metadata handling
• Built-in accessibility

We design our sites with SEO baked in—not bolted on.

🧑‍💻 You Still Need a Developer Anywa

WordPress is often sold as “DIY”—but anyone who’s actually used it knows:

• Themes need tweaking
• Plugins break layouts
• Custom features require coding

Most businesses end up hiring a developer anyway. So why not invest that time and money into something future-proof, scalable, and tailored to your needs?

🚀 The Foxtrot Defefence Approach

Custom-Built, Performance-First Websites that:

• Are custom-designed, not templated
• Use modern tech stacks
• Load fast, rank better, and convert more visitors
• Require less maintenance and fewer updates

We’ll work with you to understand your goals, brand, and audience—and craft a digital experience that sets you apart.
