tl;dr: The skinny
Airlancer is best if...
- You want to focus on writing, not website maintenance
- You need built-in newsletters and paid memberships
- Speed and SEO matter to you
- You want one bill, not a dozen plugin subscriptions
WordPress might be better when...
- You need a full business website beyond publishing
- You require e-commerce with physical products
- You want to build custom functionality with plugins
Airlancer is built for writers and publishers. WordPress is built for everything - which means more complexity for publishing-focused sites.
Sound familiar?
Real frustrations from WordPress users across the web. We built Airlancer because we felt them too.
Client's simple one-page website stopped working. Spent hours fixing it just to add one line to wp-config.php. Why does WordPress randomly stop working or get hacked?
