Your site doesn't have to be a maintenance contract.
WordPress runs on plugins, and plugins run on updates. For a webshop or membership platform, that's the price of flexibility. For a business site, in 2026 it's unnecessary baggage. These are the alternatives.
The honest overview.

Why is WordPress maintenance such a big deal?
WordPress runs on plugins that constantly need updates. Every update can break something, and every outdated plugin is a security risk. That's why maintenance contracts exist. FWRD has no plugins — maintenance in that sense simply doesn't exist.
Can I bring my WordPress content with me?
Yes. Your copy and structure serve as the starting point for the AI site builder. Blog archives with hundreds of posts are a different story — for those, we're happy to take a look at what makes sense.
No more 'an update is available'.
