Is Basalt Right for My Website?

Basalt is built for small business service websites. If your site’s job is to help people find you and contact you, Basalt is likely a good fit. If your site runs a complex online store or membership platform, it is probably not. This guide helps you figure out which side you fall on.

Basalt is probably right for you if:

You have a service business website. Plumber, accountant, dentist, consultant, contractor, therapist, photographer, gym owner. Your site explains what you do, where you are, and how to reach you. That is the core Basalt use case.

Your site has 5 to 20 pages. Home, services, about, contact, FAQ, team, a few blog posts. Standard small business structure.

You want to keep your existing site. Basalt converts what you have. It does not redesign your site from scratch. Your pages, your content, and your look carry over.

You are tired of WordPress maintenance. Plugin updates, security warnings, hosting renewals, slow load times. If this describes your current experience, Basalt addresses all of it.

You want to stop paying multiple bills. If you are paying separately for hosting, a security plugin, a form plugin, and a cache plugin, one subscription is simpler.

Basalt is probably not right for you if:

You run a complex WooCommerce store. If you have many products, subscription billing, complex checkout flows, or custom order management, those features do not transfer to Basalt. For a small shop selling a handful of products with simple checkout, it is worth asking. For a full e-commerce operation, Basalt is not the right tool.

You run a membership site. Gated content, user logins, subscription tiers, and member management are not supported. If your business model depends on members logging in to access content, Basalt cannot serve that use case.

You run an online course platform. Course delivery, lesson progression, student accounts, and quiz functionality are not part of Basalt.

You need custom database-driven features. If your site has custom applications, dynamic search, user-generated content, or any feature that needs a database to run, those features cannot move.

What if I am not sure?

Enter your URL. The scanner looks at your site and tells you whether conversion is possible. If it is not a fit, we tell you that clearly. No wasted time.
