Clean, semantic React code that loads instantly. From simple brochure sites to immersive experiences, built for impact. Tech: Next.js, Tailwind, Framer Motion, CMS Integration. ### Why Not WordPress or Webflow? - **Page builders (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace)**: Plugin bloat creates security vulnerabilities. WordPress is the most-hacked CMS globally. Heavy themes hurt Google rankings. - **No-code tools (Webflow, Framer)**: Good visuals but vendor lock-in, no portability, and cannot handle complex logic, user logins, or custom databases. - **WhealBit's approach (React, Next.js, TypeScript)**: Pre-rendered pages with zero loading lag. No hackable database on the frontend. You own the code — host it anywhere, no platform fees. ### [Hosting & Domain Management](https://whealbit.co.uk/services) Partnered with IONOS and Netlify.
