TradieFlow vs WordPress
WordPress powers 40% of the web - but that doesn't make it right for your trade business. Plugin conflicts, security patches, hosting headaches, and a learning curve steeper than a loft conversion. TradieFlow just works.
How TradieFlow compares
Why tradesmen choose TradieFlow over WordPress
Zero maintenance burden
WordPress needs constant updates - core, themes, plugins, PHP versions. One missed update and your site breaks or gets hacked. TradieFlow handles everything, so you focus on your trade.
No plugin roulette
A typical WordPress trade site needs 20+ plugins for forms, SEO, security, backups, speed, and maps. Each plugin is a potential point of failure, a security risk, and a compatibility headache. TradieFlow includes everything built-in.
No hosting headaches
With WordPress, you choose your own hosting - cheap shared hosting that's slow, or premium hosting that adds £20–£50/month. TradieFlow includes fast, secure hosting in the price.
No developer dependency
WordPress customisation usually means hiring a developer at £40–£80/hour. TradieFlow's dashboard lets you manage everything yourself, and our support team handles the rest.
The DIY Dead End
Wix. Squarespace. WordPress. They look easy in the adverts. In practice, most tradesmen spend a weekend on it, get something that looks okay on their laptop, and then never touch it again.
