Pros / Cons

+ No mandatory platform fees
+ Complete design/data control
+ Huge WordPress plugin ecosystem
- Requires self-managed hosting/security/updates
- Total cost and technical burden scale unpredictably with complexity

Pricing: Core plugin free (open-source) — real cost driven by hosting ($48–540/yr), domain, premium extensions, and payment processing (~2.9% + $0.30/transaction); realistic all-in range $200–3,000+/yr · Best for: Technically capable teams or WordPress-native businesses wanting full ownership and lowest platform-fee overhead
