Since March, I've offered every new client at my two-person web shop a choice: WordPress or a faster AI-built site, and of the last 30 clients, 70% chose WordPress.

The reason is rarely design - it's control, clients can't self-edit the AI-built sites, because every change goes through us, and the moment someone asks "so if I need to update my price list Saturday night, I just wait?" - they switch to WordPress, ofc they'll take a clunkier CMS over zero control.

There's also an image problem, especially with owners over 50: one asked, "so my site's basically a chatbot wearing a website costume?" uhh...fair point ig, and no plugin ecosystem means anything beyond a static page requires custom code or a bolted-on database like Supabase, tho the 30% who go AI are almost always clients who won't touch the site again post-launch, like a mobile detailer who just needed a page and a booking button. Hosting is a non-issue by comparison - I've got clients running fine on Hostinger, a couple of older accounts still sitting on SiteGround from before I inherited them, one holdout still on Wix who refuses to migrate, the real question here is wether clients can fix sth themselves at 11pm wo texting me first.

I have my main site on wordpress and i a subdomain which is not on wordpress so is there a way when user visit my subdomain i will getect if the use is logined on my main site or not
