The WordPress hidden cost problem

WordPress itself is free. But here's what a typical small business actually pays:

Managed WordPress hosting (WP Engine)$25–$50/mo
Premium theme (Astra, Divi, GeneratePress)$50–$250/year
Page builder (Elementor Pro)$59/year
Security plugin (Wordfence, Sucuri)$100/year
Backup plugin$80/year
Developer time for maintenance$50–$150/hour
