Hettie vs WordPress
WordPress can do almost anything, with enough plugins. Hettie does one thing: the site your AI built, with the business side included.
The short version
WordPress runs a huge share of the web, and WordPress.com now lets Claude write and publish posts over MCP on paid plans. It has thousands of themes and plugins, forms, stats and paid newsletters. If you need something unusual, someone has built a plugin for it.
That size is also the cost. A WordPress site is themes, plugins and settings, and keeping them working together is a job. Your AI writes posts well, but changing the design means working inside a theme, and custom code needs a higher plan.
On Hettie the site is plain code your own AI wrote. Analytics, ads, forms and the blog are built in, with no plugins to pick. You pay only for hosting, $5 a month for five sites.
