For years, WordPress was the obvious choice for our clients' websites. It is flexible, well known and has a plugin for almost everything. But looking after a large number of sites showed us its costs.
What we kept seeing
- Plugins and themes needing updates every week, each one a small risk of something breaking.
- Security patches that could not wait, on sites that clients rarely logged in to.
- Page builders adding weight that slowed pages down.
- Clients who only wanted to change some text, faced with a dashboard built for developers.
What clients actually do
When we looked at what our clients really do on their websites, the list was short: change words, update a phone number, publish a post, read enquiries, and check the site is working.
So we built for that
The console keeps the website as fast, plain HTML pages and gives clients a simple, safe way to do exactly those things. There are no plugins to update, the layout cannot be broken, and everything runs on standard hosting.
The resultFaster pages, less to maintain, and clients who can make their own changes with confidence.
