WordPress vs Custom Website - What to Choose?

This is one of the most common questions when ordering a website. Both approaches have their pros and cons.

Custom Website

A custom site is built from scratch with technologies like React, Next.js, or pure PHP.

Pros:

• Complete customization
• Better performance
• Greater security
