The “Premium Theme” Trap: Why Custom WordPress Architecture Wins in B2B
At first glance, buying a $60 “premium” theme from a marketplace seems like a smart business decision. The demo looks flawless, the animations are smooth, and the feature list is endless. But for ambitious B2B companies looking to scale, this shortcut is often a costly trap.
At Strategy Growth Agency, we replace failing, template-driven websites every single month. The fundamental issue isn’t the platform itself-WordPress powers over 40% of the internet-but rather how it is built.
