A WordPress alternative without maintenance worries
WordPress is flexible but needs constant upkeep. With Kotisivukamu the technology is handled for you.
WordPress is the most popular content management system in the world. It powers over 40 percent of all websites and can be used to build almost anything. That flexibility has a price: a WordPress site needs web hosting, a theme, plugins, and continuous updates and security care.
In practice many small businesses pay for their WordPress site twice: first for the build, then for ongoing maintenance handled by an agency or IT partner. If updates are skipped, the site slows down and security holes stay open.
Kotisivukamu works differently. The Kamu AI builds the site for you, and the site is compiled into static files at publish time. There is no server, plugin stack or database to update, so there are no maintenance worries either. Content changes are requested from Kamu in your own words.
Kotisivukamu vs. WordPress

|---|---|---|
| Who builds the site | The Kamu AI builds the site for you in about 30 minutes | You or a hired partner build the site with a theme and plugins |

| Technical maintenance | Included in the service: updates, backups and certificates are handled automatically | Your responsibility: updates, plugins, security and backups |

Why a static site wins on speed
WordPress builds the page on the server for each visitor, or serves it from a cache. That constant conversation between browser and server takes resources and is the main reason so many sites have become heavy. Kotisivukamu sites are compiled in advance, so the visitor gets the page instantly. Speed shows directly in search rankings and user experience.
When is WordPress still the right choice?
If you need highly specialised functionality, a large online store, or you have your own development team, the WordPress ecosystem is strong. For most small businesses, though, a fast, beautiful and easily updated site is enough, and that is exactly what Kotisivukamu is built for.
