WordPress vs Custom Coding: Cost Difference
WordPress
- Looks cheap initially, but theme purchases ($50-$200), plugin costs ($100-$500/year), and security maintenance add up.
- Slower loading speeds hurt SEO, and hacking risks are higher.
Custom Coding
- Higher upfront cost, but minimal maintenance fees, 3-5x faster speeds, and superior security.
- Long-term total cost is actually lower.

Tips for Choosing a Sydney Web Developer
1. Check Their Portfolio
Real examples show real capability. Look for work in similar industries.
2. Watch for Hidden Costs
Many agencies advertise low prices but charge extras later. Review the quote carefully.
3. Ask About Maintenance
Websites need ongoing updates, security patches, and content changes.
4. Confirm SEO is Included
A beautiful website means nothing if it can't be found on Google.
5. Language Matters
For Korean businesses, working with a Korean-speaking developer makes communication smoother and results better.
