Why not WordPress?
Speed, privacy, maintenance, security and cost: the numbers we measured, with their sources.
12× faster on mobile
Sankotek's WordPress site, and the same site after we moved it to our platform. Time until the main content appears on a phone:
Source: Google PageSpeed Insights, home page, mobile test, 21 Oct 2026. The mobile test simulates a slow phone connection. Old: sankotek.com (WordPress), new: sankotek.com.tr.

Who hears about it when a page loads?
Each third-party service learns the visitor's IP address and which page they opened. For privacy law, each one is a data transfer; for speed, another wait.
Old WordPress site: 5 third parties
- Google Fonts
- YouTube
- code.jquery.com
- Cloudflare Insights
- CleanTalk
New site: 0 third parties
- Fonts on our own server
- Video is our own file, loads on click
- Map loads only on request
- Cookie-free visitor counter
Who keeps it updated?
In WordPress the core, the theme, the page builder and every plugin are updated separately. One update can break another; a plugin left behind leaves a door open.
WordPress
- Core
- Theme
- Page builder
- Plugin 1 … plugin N
- PHP
Entegrali
- One product, we do the updates
- No plugins
- No PHP required
Attack surface: every plugin is another door
No plugins
No third-party code runs on the server; no risk from a forgotten plugin.
Two-factor authentication
Mandatory for administrator accounts; accounts lock after failed attempts.
Nightly backups
Database every night, files every week; downloadable from the panel.
What do you pay over three years?
A real WordPress agency quote (setup + annual maintenance) versus our Site + Email package; migration is free.
■ Typical WordPress agency: 50,000 TL setup + 25,000 TL annual maintenance ■ Entegrali Site + Email: 9,000 TL per year, excl. VAT

When should you stay on WordPress?
- If your site depends on a specific plugin (e.g. bookings, memberships, LMS) with no equivalent.
- If you run a large WooCommerce store: we don't migrate those today; we can talk about moving to Shopify.
- If your own team runs WordPress well and the site is fast and up to date.
