SEO controlFull control — semantic HTML, heading hierarchy, schema, clean URLs✕Limited — plugins and themes add bloat, restrict meta control, break schema
SecurityMinimal attack surface — no plugins, no vulnerable dependencies✕Plugin security risks — WordPress vulnerabilities cause 96% of hacked CMS sites
Mobile experienceMobile-first by design, 100/100 Lighthouse on every page✕Poor mobile — desktop-first design that resizes badly, high CLS, low engagement

FAQ

What Questions Do Contractors Ask About Web Development?

Everything you need to know about choosing a custom web development company for your home service business — pricing, timelines, CMS, local SEO, and ongoing support.

Next.js loads faster (sub-second vs 3-5s for most WP sites), has better SEO control, is more secure (no plugin vulnerabilities), and gives us full control over every aspect of performance. WordPress powers 43% of the web but most home service sites are bloated with unnecessary plugins and slow themes.
