The maintenance reality

WordPress sites that aren't actively maintained get hacked. Outdated plugins are the #1 attack vector for small business websites. Most service business owners don't update their plugins — because they don't have time, or don't remember, or don't know they need to. Lobus Industries sites run on a modern stack with no WordPress attack surface at all.

FAQ

Common questions about switching.

What's wrong with WordPress?+

Nothing, for the right use case. WordPress is a powerful platform for complex sites, blogs with many authors, or businesses that need custom functionality. For a service business that needs a 5-page website and occasional content updates, WordPress introduces maintenance overhead that most business owners aren't equipped to handle — plugin updates, security patches, backup management, and hosting configuration.

Is WordPress really that risky for security?+

WordPress powers 43% of all websites, which makes it the #1 target for hackers. Outdated plugins are the most common entry point. A service business owner who doesn't update plugins regularly is genuinely at risk of having their site defaced or used for spam. With Lobus Industries, there's no WordPress instance to hack.

I had a developer build my WordPress site. Can I switch?+

Yes. We build a new site from scratch and help you transition your domain. If you want any content from your old site preserved, we incorporate it into the new design.

Is Lobus Industries really free to build?+

$0 upfront — no build fee, no setup fee. You pay $100/month starting when your site goes live. Cancel any time.

What if I need a blog or custom functionality?+

Lobus Industries sites support blogs. Custom functionality beyond a standard service business site (e-commerce, member portals, complex booking systems) may require a different solution — we'll tell you upfront if that's the case.

Who owns the site if I cancel?+

You do. Cancel any time — no fees. We take the site offline. If you want the source code to host elsewhere, we hand it over.
