SystemsCtrl vs WordPress

WordPress powers a huge share of the web and is endlessly flexible. That flexibility is also the catch: plugins, updates, security, and hosting are all your job.

Where WordPress is fine

  • Extremely flexible and extensible
  • Massive plugin ecosystem
  • Great when you have a developer on call

Where it leaves you stuck

  • Plugin updates and security are your responsibility
  • Slow, bloated sites without expert tuning
  • No POS, cameras, or phone systems
  • One bad update can take the site down

The verdict

WordPress is powerful if you have a developer. If you would rather not babysit plugins and updates, we build on a fast, managed stack and keep the whole thing running for you.
