WordPress or Custom Development: Which do you prefer for your website?

[VPSMakers]

With WordPress, you can build almost anything you need by using existing plugins or developing your own. You don't necessarily have to start from scratch to create a custom website.

On the other hand, you can develop your own platform using PHP, JavaScript, or other technologies and have full control over how everything works.

Which approach do you prefer? Do you usually stick with WordPress and customize it with plugins, or do you prefer developing your own platform from scratch?

What makes you choose one over the other?

Hello,

WordPress is a classic choice for websites, but it has its known drawbacks that are familiar to almost everyone in the industry.

Personally, I would prefer building a website from scratch, as it offers far greater flexibility for custom design and functionality. In fact, I once took on a project where I could have easily built the site using WordPress (having previously created one for an educational institution), but I decided to write it from scratch using plain CSS and PHP. Overall, the resulting website turned out quite well, and what I appreciated most was the complete freedom to implement any changes as needed.
