Despite what you may have heard, WordPress is far from outdated – but only if you know how to use it the right way.
The myth: “WordPress is outdated”
We’ve all heard it: “WordPress is old-fashioned”, “nobody uses WordPress anymore”, or “modern websites require modern tools”.
It’s a seductive narrative – especially when new platforms and flashy site builders promise quick and easy solutions.
But here’s the truth: WordPress powers over 40% of all websites on the internet.
Outdated? Hardly!
What actually went wrong

The real problem isn’t WordPress – it’s how it’s often used.
- Bloated themes
- Heavy page builders
- Dozens of plugins slapped on top of each other
These choices slow down your site, weaken security, and create long-term maintenance issues.
Blaming WordPress is like blaming the kitchen because someone used a microwave for a gourmet meal.
When used right, WordPress is unbeatable
Custom WordPress development strips away the noise and gives you:
- Clean, fast, and fully optimized code
- Complete design freedom
- Scalability and easy updates
- Full control over SEO and performance
- A site that grows with your business – not against it
In the right hands, WordPress isn’t just good – it’s a powerhouse!
Why I still build with WordPress
Because I know how to get the best out of it.
- I code custom themes from scratch – no bloated templates
- I only use essential, lightweight plugins – but I mostly build features myself
- I focus on performance, security, and long-term maintainability
You get a professional website that’s tailored for your needs and built to last.
No “drag-and-drop” gimmicks. No hidden traps. Just quality.
