Static site or WordPress: which to choose?

Both give you a good-looking website. The difference lies in how you update it, in security and in maintenance.

The static site

Pages are prepared in advance, then simply sent to the visitor: there is no database or program running on the server.

  • Very fast and very secure: little can be hacked.
  • Almost no maintenance.
  • But every change goes through us (or someone who can edit the files).

WordPress

WordPress is the most widely used website software: you edit your texts, images and posts from an admin area, without technical skills.

  • Independent: you publish whenever you want.
  • Thousands of plugins: forms, shop, booking…
  • But it needs regular updates, otherwise it becomes a target for hackers.

How to choose?

  • Your website rarely changes (presentation, services, contact): a static site is enough.
  • You publish often (news, products, articles): WordPress.
  • You need accounts, payments or a business tool: a custom platform.

And maintenance?
