Zite vs WordPress

The modern WordPress alternative for business sites.

Pages, forms, data, logins, and the workflows that connect them - already part of the same platform. So you spend your time using your website, not maintaining it.

Free to start. Everything included. No plugins to renew.

Run a website.
Not a maintenance team.

Zite handles the security work for you - nothing to install, nothing to patch, nothing on your to-do list.

Customers sign in safely

Sign-up, sign-in, password reset, role-based access - already there from day one. Nothing to install, nothing to renew.

Bad actors stay out

Login lockouts and brute-force protection are handled in the background, on every site. The kind of thing you shouldn't have to think about.

One vendor for the whole stack

One company maintains and supports everything end to end. Not a sprawling collection of add-ons from people you've never met.

You can see what's happening

See where a form goes, who has access, what triggers what. Confidence comes from understanding the site - not hoping.

The Zite offboarder is a Chrome extension that walks through your existing WordPress site and turns it into a structured plan you can build in Zite - in days, not months.

01

Install the extension

Add the offboarder to Chrome in seconds. It runs alongside your existing WordPress admin - nothing to install on the site itself.

02

Walk through your site

Click through your WordPress site as you normally would. The offboarder maps your pages, content, and workflows as you go.

03

Zite rebuilds it for you

Zite uses the plan to rebuild your site - structure, content, and workflows already mapped. Just review and approve what comes over and what stays behind.

Free Chrome extension. Or try Zite free first.
