Should I use an AI website builder or WordPress?
Short Answer
For most websites: AI is faster, easier, and cheaper. For complex blogs or content-heavy sites with thousands of posts: WordPress is still king. The biggest difference: AI requires zero maintenance; WordPress requires constant plugin updates, security patches, and hosting management.
Detailed Answer
Choose AI (Frascati) when: you want a site fast (minutes, not weeks), you don't want maintenance headaches, you need a marketing site/landing page/portfolio, you don't have technical skills, or you want clean modern code.
Choose WordPress when: you need a complex blog with thousands of posts, you require specific plugins (WooCommerce, LMS, membership), you want maximum community and ecosystem support, or you need a CMS for multiple content editors.
The maintenance gap is huge: WordPress requires weekly updates (core, theme, plugins), ongoing security monitoring, backup management, and hosting optimization. AI-built sites require zero maintenance.
Cost comparison: WordPress is 'free' but hosting ($5-30/month) + theme ($50-200) + plugins ($100-500/year) + maintenance time adds up fast. Frascati's free tier delivers a complete site at truly zero cost.
