The Modern AI Alternative to WordPress
Forward-thinking teams are migrating from monolithic CMS structures to AI-driven static architecture. Experience superior security, zero maintenance, and instant performance.
The Maintenance Trap
What starts as a simple install becomes an endless cycle of updates, patches, and performance fixes.
Security Treadmill
WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates arrive weekly. Skip one, and you're vulnerable. Keep up, and you risk breaking your site with every update.
Performance Decay
Every plugin adds JavaScript. Every feature adds database queries. Sites that launched fast become slow within months as databases bloat.
Database Overhead
WordPress requires MySQL for everything. Even a static 'About Us' page requires a database connection, adding latency and a point of failure.
The real cost of "free"
WordPress software is free to download, but running a professional site is expensive. Hosting, premium plugins, and security tools add up fast.
Plus your time spent updating plugins.

Architecture Comparison
| Feature | WordPress | Pagesmith |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture WordPress relies on a database for every view. Pagesmith serves static HTML from the edge. | Monolithic (PHP + MySQL) | Modern (Astro + React) |
| Security Updates Static files can't be hacked. There is no login page to brute-force. | Weekly Manual Updates | None Needed |
| Database Only use a database when you actually need one, not for static content. | Required (MySQL) | Optional (SQLite) |
| Performance Adding content doesn't slow down a static site. | Degrades with plugins | Constant 100/100 |
| Ownership Your content is stored in clean Markdown or MDX files, not hidden in a database table. | Database Locked | Files You Own |
