WordPress or custom: what to choose?

When WordPress is enough and when to invest in custom React — no fanaticism, based on real need.

Short answer: for most businesses WordPress is the right choice. But not for everyone.

WordPress fits when you need a business site, online store, blog, have a limited budget and want to edit content yourself. Fastest path from zero to live site.

Custom React makes sense when you need a distinctive interface, complex business logic, a web app or maximum speed at scale. Costs more but gives more freedom.

There's also a hybrid: headless WordPress — content in WordPress, user sees a blazing React frontend. Best of both for complex projects.
