Why leave WordPress behind?
WordPress was built in 2003 for bloggers. Twenty‑plus years later it still carries that baggage: slow plug‑ins, constant updates and frequent security headlines. A modern React & Next.js site fixes all that – and you will feel the difference from the very first click.
We don’t sell WordPress. Instead, we migrate you to a hard‑coded solution that is quicker, safer and tailor‑made for your business. See our WordPress to Next.js migration playbook for Manchester teams.
A Typical WordPress Site
- Plugin bloat: Dozens of third‑party add‑ons slow your site and clash with each other.
- Security headaches: 90 % + of hacked CMS sites run WordPress.
- Hidden costs: Premium themes & plug‑ins renew every year.
- Slow updates: Every plugin update risks breaking the site.
If this sounds familiar, it’s time to move on.
React & Next.js Site
- Super‑fast: Pages render in milliseconds, even on 3G.
- Bank‑grade security: No public CMS, no plugin exploits.
- Ownership: You bring your own hosting and keep the keys.
- Limitless design: Every pixel is bespoke – no themes to constrain you.
Built once, scales forever.
