WordPress-programvaren er gratis, men du trenger betalt hosting (300–800 kr/mnd), domene, ofte premiumtema og plugins. Reell kostnad: 5 000–20 000 kr/år pluss utviklertid.

Kan jeg bygge en god nettside i WordPress selv?

Ja, hvis du er teknisk og har tid. Men de fleste småbedrifter undervurderer tiden det tar å sette opp, tilpasse og vedlikeholde WordPress. Feil sikkerhetsoppdatering kan ta ned siden.

Hva er den største fordelen med WordPress?

Fleksibilitet. Med 60 000+ plugins kan du bygge nesten hva som helst. Godt valg hvis du trenger kompleks funksjonalitet eller vil ha full kontroll.

Hva er den største fordelen med Skailand?

Ingen vedlikeholdsbyrde. Vi tar oss av hosting, sikkerhet og oppdateringer. Du ringer oss hvis noe ikke stemmer – og vi er faktisk tilgjengelige.

Hvilken løsning er best for SEO?

Begge kan ranke godt med riktig oppsett. Skailand-sider er ferdig konfigurert for lokale søk fra dag 1. WordPress krever riktig plugin-konfigurasjon og SEO-kompetanse.

For de fleste norske småbedrifter anbefaler vi Skailand – raskere i gang, lavere totalkostnad og bedre support. WordPress er bedre for store prosjekter med egne utviklere.

Frequently asked questions

Is WordPress free?

The WordPress software is free, but you need paid hosting (300–800 NOK/mth), a domain, often a premium theme and plugins. Real cost: 5,000–20,000 NOK/year plus developer time.

Can I build a good website in WordPress myself?

Yes, if you're technical and have the time. But most small businesses underestimate how long it takes to set up, customise and maintain WordPress. A wrong security update can take your site down.

What is the biggest advantage of WordPress?

Flexibility. With 60,000+ plugins you can build almost anything. A good choice if you need complex functionality or want full control.

What is the biggest advantage of Skailand?

No maintenance burden. We handle hosting, security and updates. You call us if something isn't right – and we're actually available.

Which solution is best for SEO?

Both can rank well with the right setup. Skailand sites are pre-configured for local searches from day one. WordPress requires correct plugin configuration and SEO expertise.

What do you recommend?
