WordPress website better hai ya custom website?

Depends on your needs: WordPress better hai agar aapko blog, brochure website ya WooCommerce store chahiye — less costly, quick delivery, easy to manage. Custom website better hai agar aapko unique functionality, complex database, API integrations ya high performance SaaS platform chahiye.

WordPress website ki SEO kaisi hoti hai?

WordPress SEO bahut acha ho sakta hai — Yoast SEO aur RankMath jaise plugins ke saath. Lekin out-of-the-box WordPress slow hota hai. Proper caching (WP Rocket), optimized hosting (Hostinger/SiteGround), image optimization aur clean theme se WordPress website excellent SEO achieve kar sakti hai.

Custom website kitna expensive hota hai vs WordPress?

WordPress website ₹10,000–₹40,000 mein banti hai. Custom PHP website ₹30,000–₹2,00,000. Custom React.js web app ₹60,000–₹5,00,000. WordPress is best value for standard business sites; custom development makes sense only when WordPress plugins can't achieve your specific needs.

Expert Verdict

Bunty Arora's Honest Recommendation

🏪

Small Business → WordPress

For 90% of Indian small businesses — restaurants, shops, clinics, coaches, agencies — WordPress is the right choice. Fast delivery, easy to manage, cost-effective and more than capable for business growth.

🛒

Ecommerce → WooCommerce or Shopify

For online stores, WooCommerce (on WordPress) is excellent for Indian businesses. Shopify is better for D2C brands wanting a no-maintenance store. Both are better than custom for most cases.

🚀

Startup / App → Custom

For startups building a product, SaaS platform or complex web app, custom development is the only way. WordPress can't handle complex user flows, real-time features or unique business logic.
