The thing with whipping a website with tools, templates, frameworks, libraries - WP is that at the end you don't get any traffic/visitors and it's useless and slow - most of the time.

We get so much queries from the small business owners why their site doesn't bring any new customers. It's all because of "templating". They end up pretty much with an "online business" card. The whole thing is a screw up from the ground up. It takes us months to get their website anywhere where it can be seen...most of the time it would be better to just do it from scratch. And at the end cheaper.

If you're serious about your business you will hire a team that can do the design, copy and SEO so that you can actually bring new clients at your door.
