For businesses that need a site that loads instantly, ranks well and actually books work.
Speed isn't an upgrade. It's the whole point.
Static HTML on Cloudflare's global edge, zero plugins, SEO wired in from the first line of code. Every site we ship is engineered to hit these Google Lighthouse targets, not as a paid extra, as the baseline.
Targets every Arc Growth build is engineered to meet. WordPress sites on shared hosting routinely score 40–60 on mobile.
On WordPress, Wix or Shopify? Here's the honest difference.
Same story on each: slower than it should be, rented not owned, and more upkeep than a small business needs. Pick your platform and see exactly how a static Arc Growth site compares.
Arc Growth vs WordPress: drop the plugins and the maintenance bill.
WordPress powers a huge share of the web, and a huge share of slow, plugin-bloated, hacked small-business sites. Here's how a static Arc Growth site compares for a local service business that just needs a fast site that books work.
| Feature | Arc Growth | WordPress |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile speed | 90+ Lighthouse by default | Often 40–60 on shared hosting |
| Maintenance | Nothing to patch, ever | Plugin and core updates every few weeks |
| Security | No plugins means no attack surface | A missed update can mean a hacked site |
| Running cost | Hosting included year one, no add-ons | Hosting + theme + plugins add up fast |
| Editing | Point-and-click, deploys in seconds | A clunky admin panel to learn |
| Design | Custom-designed around your brand | Themes that look like every competitor |
WordPress earns its place for blogs and complex custom apps. For a fast, low-maintenance local business site, a static Arc Growth site is lighter, safer and cheaper to run, and we'll rebuild your existing WordPress content for free so nothing is lost.
Arc Growth vs Wix: a site you own, not one you rent.
Wix is quick to start but you're renting a slot on their platform forever, locked in, capped on speed, and paying monthly with no way to take your site elsewhere. Here's the difference.
| Feature | Arc Growth | Wix |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | The site files are yours, host anywhere | Locked to Wix, not exportable |
| Speed | Static HTML, 90+ Lighthouse | Heavy app platform, slower on mobile |
| Design | Designed around your brand by us | Drag-drop templates, done by you |
| Cost over time | One-off build, low-cost hosting after | Monthly forever, more for features |
| SEO control | Full schema, clean URLs, our SEO team | Limited, platform-controlled |
| Done for you | We build and write it all | You build it yourself |
Wix suits a DIY hobby site. If you'd rather have a faster site built for you, that you actually own and can grow with real marketing behind it, that's what we do.
Arc Growth vs Shopify: a fast site with a simple shop, minus the monthly app stack.
Shopify is built for running a serious online store, and priced and structured that way, with a monthly subscription and paid apps for features that should be standard. If you mainly need a fast marketing site with a small, simple shop, here's how a static Arc Growth site compares.
| Feature | Arc Growth | Shopify |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Marketing sites with a small, simple catalogue | Large, high-volume stores with complex inventory |
| Running cost | One-off build, low hosting, no monthly platform fee | Monthly subscription, plus paid apps on top |
| Speed | Static HTML, 90+ Lighthouse | App-heavy themes, slower on mobile |
| Features | We build what you need into the site | Core gaps often filled by paid third-party apps |
| Payments | Stripe checkout in your own account | Shopify Payments, or extra fees to use another |
| Ownership | Own your site files, host anywhere | Locked to the Shopify platform |
Shopify is the right tool for a serious, high-volume store with complex inventory and shipping. If you mainly need a fast site, with a small, simple shop bolted on and no monthly app bills, a static Arc Growth site is lighter, cheaper to run and yours to keep. We'll tell you honestly when your catalogue is big enough that Shopify is the better call.
