Decision guide
The question is not which logo is cooler. It is whether the setup can be maintained and shaped around how you take work.

WordPress or a hosted builder can be enough for a clear service site with limited workflow needs and real maintenance ownership. Custom work is right when booking logic, data, integrations, staff tools, or performance needs exceed what a template stack can safely handle.
Buying custom work for a simple brochure, or forcing complex workflows into a fragile plugin stack to save on the first invoice.
All three can be right in different situations.
WordPress
Common content needs, maintenance ownership, sensible plugin footprint.
Hosted builders
Simple brochure, owner edits, limited workflow complexity.
Custom
Specific booking logic, data, integrations, portals, or multi-location rules.
We build service-business websites and custom systems when needed, and we will not invent a custom project for a simple brochure need. DetailerBase is product-build proof for operational software, not a claim that every client needs it.
