Custom Websites vs WordPress — The Doorzy Tech Approach

Introduction

At Doorzy Tech, we can absolutely build websites using WordPress — but we don’t recommend it as the best long-term option. While WordPress is popular and approachable, it often brings hidden limits, slower performance, and higher maintenance costs over time.

Why We Don’t Recommend WordPress

• Plugin bloat — Reliance on many plugins and third-party themes slows sites and introduces conflicts.
• Security exposure — Frequent plugin updates and vulnerabilities increase risk.
• Scaling pain — As traffic and media grow, WordPress demands more RAM and CPU to stay fast.

The Hidden Costs

• Rising hosting bills — Large media libraries and plugin overhead drive up storage and server costs.
• Performance spend — Paying for higher tiers or caching add-ons to maintain speed.
• Maintenance time — Ongoing plugin/theme updates and fixes add up.

Why Custom Wins

We specialize in fully custom builds using .NET and Golang. With clean, efficient code and modern architecture, we deliver sites that are faster, more secure, and easier to scale — typically with lower long-term hosting costs.

What You Get with Doorzy Tech

• Performance — Lightweight code, tuned for speed and Core Web Vitals.
• Security — Minimal third-party surface area, hardened stacks.
• Scalability — Add features, integrations, and content without platform limits.
• Full ownership — You own the code, hosting, and domain — no lock-ins.
• Better value — Competitive build pricing plus leaner hosting for long-term savings.

Prefer WordPress?

We can build on WordPress if you need it. But for most businesses, a custom site provides better performance, fewer headaches, and lower total cost of ownership.

Conclusion

Doorzy Tech helps Saskatoon businesses get powerful, reliable, and affordable websites that last. Go custom for a faster, safer site with hosting costs that stay friendly as you grow.
