THE CHALLENGE
A non-technical founder came to us wanting to build an AI-powered marketing platform. They'd been advised to use WordPress—a decision that would have cost them $50K+ and 6+ months when they inevitably hit scaling limits.
The WordPress Trap:
- •Plugin bloat kills performance within months
- •AI features need custom development anyway
- •Migration costs $40K-$100K once you outgrow it
- •Security vulnerabilities increase 40% with plugins
