WordPress vs Wix vs Modern React: Which Is Best?
WordPress (The Old Standard)
- Powers 40% of the web, but most sites are slow and bloated
- Requires constant updates, security patches, and plugin management
- Paid hosting is mandatory (₹3,000-10,000/year)
- Good for: Blogs, media sites with lots of content
- Bad for: Business websites, portfolios, landing pages
Wix/Squarespace (The Easy Option)
- Drag-and-drop, no coding needed
- Monthly subscription: ₹200-500/month adds up over years
- Limited customization and slow loading speeds
- Good for: Hobby sites, temporary pages
- Bad for: Businesses wanting to rank on Google
React + Next.js (The Smart Choice)
- Ultra-fast loading (under 1 second)
- Free hosting on Vercel (zero recurring cost)
- Best SEO performance — Google loves fast sites
- No security vulnerabilities (no server, no database to hack)
- Used by Netflix, Airbnb, TikTok, Instagram
- Good for: Everything. Especially business sites that need to rank.
Will a Website Actually Make You Money?
Let's do the math for a typical small business:
Without a Website
You rely on walk-ins and word-of-mouth. You miss 100% of people searching online for your service.
With a Website (Month 1-3)
Google starts showing your site. You get 20-50 new visitors/month. Even a 5% conversion rate = 1-3 new customers.
With a Website (Month 6+)
With SEO, you can reach 200-500+ visitors/month. That's 10-25 new customers. Your ₹2,499 website has already paid for itself.
