Comparison

FlowSites vs WordPress

WordPress powers a third of the web — and it shows in the maintenance overhead. FlowSites builds modern, faster, more secure sites without plugin headaches.

Built for small businesses

Not a generic platform. We build for UK SMEs that want a website that wins enquiries, not a hobby project.

Done for you

You don't drag and drop, learn a new tool, or troubleshoot plugin updates. We build it; you focus on running your business.

One predictable price

Fixed-price builds, fixed-price care plans. No surprise renewal hikes.

Frequently asked questions

Is WordPress bad?
Not bad, just dated. For most small business websites it's overkill — and the maintenance burden compounds over years.
Can you migrate WordPress / WooCommerce?
Yes — both, with content, SEO and (for WooCommerce) products and customers preserved.
