NoneFortress

A WordPress site with custom blocks that's trivial to clone visually—but the real fortress is brand, real estate, capital, and a decades-old resort portfolio no weekend build touches.

You can fork the WordPress site in a day, but you cannot clone 60+ years of mountain resort operations, premium real estate, a public-company balance sheet, iconic brand recognition, and an ecosystem of lift passes, lodging, and partnerships across North America.

A prompt can rebuild

A WordPress-powered corporate site with custom block library (carousel, tabs, overlays, gallery), Yoast SEO, and responsive design. A prompt can recreate the visible structure, typography, and layouts in an afternoon.

What you can't see

Intercom/Zendesk support chat and Google Tag Manager analytics; no API endpoints, no auth system, no payment processing, no real-time database detected. Content is served entirely from WordPress.

You could build it — but that moat means you can't win. Find a better bet.
