WordPress vs. Custom Code: The Honest Truth

TL;DR: WordPress powers 40% of the web. But for a growing business, it might be a trap. Here is when to use it, and when to kill it.

When WordPress is Fine

If you are a blogger, a small restaurant, or a consultant who just needs a brochure site, WordPress is great. It's cheap and easy.

When WordPress Fails

Marketplaces: You cannot build a scalable Amazon clone on WordPress plugins. It will crash.
Security: WordPress is the most hacked platform in the world.
Speed: Plugin bloat makes sites slow (see our post on Performance).

Why We Code (MERN Stack)

For serious businesses, we use React, Node, and MongoDB. It's secure, it's instant, and we own every single line of code. No "Plugin Conflict" errors. Just pure performance.
