WordPress vs DragDrop
WordPress powers a huge share of the web, and its ecosystem is unmatched. It also puts you in charge of hosting, updates, and a growing pile of plugins. DragDrop is the easy alternative: editor, hosting, and domain in one place, with 90+ blocks ready to go and nothing to maintain.
One site per project
Many sites, one platform
TL;DR
WordPress can do anything, with enough plugins. DragDrop does websites, out of the box.
Use WordPress if…
- You need a plugin for something very specific. There are 60,000+ of them.
- You want the biggest community of developers and themes anywhere.
- You want free, open-source software you can host anywhere.
Use DragDrop if…
- You never want to think about hosting, updates, or plugins again.
- You want editing that feels like editing: click the page, type, publish.
- You want automatic backups and SSL without lifting a finger.
- You want free migration help when you move. Just ask our team.
Key differences.
Out of the box, not out of plugins
A typical WordPress site collects plugins until something breaks. DragDrop ships 90+ blocks for heroes, pricing, FAQs, galleries, and forms, and the marketplace adds more with one click.
Editing that feels like editing
DragDrop has inline editing. Click the headline, type the new one, publish. No admin maze, no preview roulette.
We handle the boring parts
Hosting, automatic backups, SSL, and updates are all included. Your job is the website, ours is everything under it.
Moving is easier than you think
Our team helps you import your content for free. Ask, and we will map out the move with you before you commit to anything.
The same job, two ways.
Shipping a page for one client in WordPress, and for every client at once in the DragDrop studio.

Switching from WordPress, in three moves.
Most teams run both platforms in parallel for a week and cut over on a quiet afternoon.
Bring your content
Export pages, posts, and media from WordPress. Our importer maps them onto blocks, and our team helps with the fiddly parts when you ask.
Rebuild with blocks
Recompose your layouts from 90+ ready-made blocks. Anything custom, a developer can rebuild as a block right inside the studio.
Point your domain
Connect your domain, SSL issues automatically, and 301 redirects carry over every ranking you’ve earned. Nothing breaks on launch day.
