WordPress is the world's most popular CMS, powering everything from blogs to enterprise sites. Fabricate is an AI-powered application builder that generates custom apps from descriptions—no themes, no plugins, just clean generated code.
Maintenance Overhead: WordPress requires regular plugin updates, security patching, and hosting management. Fabricate is fully managed—no server admin, no update cycles.
Customization Model: WordPress customization relies on plugins and themes (with compatibility risks). Fabricate generates exactly what you describe using AI with no off-the-shelf constraints.
Modern Tech Stack: WordPress uses PHP. Fabricate generates React 19, TypeScript, and Cloudflare Workers—a modern stack with better performance and developer ergonomics.
WordPress can be cheap but requires maintenance. Fabricate is managed and hassle-free.
“We ran WordPress for five years and spent more time on maintenance than features. Fabricate gave us a modern custom app with zero upkeep.”
