WordPress was a good idea yesterday — today it costs you more than it delivers
WordPress powers 43% of all websites worldwide — and that's exactly the problem. The platform has become the primary target for cyberattacks: over 90% of all hacked websites run on WordPress (Sucuri 2024). The average WordPress site has 20-30 plugins, each one a potential security risk and performance drag. Add weekly updates (PHP, plugins, themes), slow load times from theme bloat (average 3.8 seconds), and monthly hosting costs of CHF 30-80 for managed hosting you don't actually need. The hidden costs of a WordPress website are substantial: CHF 500-1,500/year for premium plugin licenses, CHF 500-2,000/year for security monitoring and malware removal, CHF 500-1,000/year for a developer to resolve plugin conflicts. In total, many Swiss SMEs pay CHF 2,000-4,500 per year just to keep their WordPress site running — without gaining a single new customer. When your website requires more time for maintenance than for winning customers, something is fundamentally wrong. The good news: a redesign solves all these problems at once. The ROI of a website redesign is clearly measurable: faster load times lead to 20-40% more conversions. Better mobile experience reduces bounce rate by 30-50%. AI visibility opens an entirely new customer channel. And the eliminated WordPress maintenance costs refinance the redesign within 12-18 months.
