How We Calculate This

  • WordPress costs include hosting, performance tools, security, and offsite backup services that you pay for separately
  • Time value is calculated at your stated hourly rate for hours spent on website tasks instead of revenue-generating activities
  • WebsiteHQ eliminates separate hosting, security fees, and developer maintenance since everything is managed for you
  • Time savings of 85% reflects that WebsiteHQ handles updates, security, backups, and troubleshooting automatically
  • Default values are conservative averages based on typical small business WordPress websites

Stop overpaying for WordPress. Switch to WebsiteHQ and keep more money in your pocket.
