WordPress vs Static HTML
Jul 26, 2017 · 1 min read

At the moment there is talk of WordPress vs Static HTML sites and there are some great points being made. Here are mine :)
WordPress cost break down:
- Domain $15 per year
- Host $12 per mouth
- Theme $60 (most feel like blogs still)
- Paid Plugins $30 (not always needed)
Static cost break down:
- Domain $15 per year
- Host $0 (Github Pages or other free static host)
- Theme $0 (Tones of themes way nicer than the WordPress themes)
- Plugins $0 (Lots of snippets that you can find online free)
