Choosing the Right Tech Stack for Your Project

One of the most common questions we get from clients is about technology choices. WordPress or custom? React or vanilla JavaScript? The answer, as with most things in development, is "it depends."

Understanding Your Needs

Before diving into frameworks and languages, we focus on understanding what you actually need. A portfolio site has very different requirements than an e-commerce platform or a booking system.

When WordPress Makes Sense

WordPress powers over 40% of the web for good reason. If you need a content-heavy site that non-technical team members will update regularly, WordPress provides a familiar editing experience with a vast ecosystem of plugins.

The Case for Custom Development

Custom solutions shine when you need:

• Maximum performance and speed
• Unique functionality not covered by existing plugins
• Full control over the codebase
• Reduced security vulnerabilities
• Lower long-term maintenance costs

Our Approach

We favour modern tools like Astro for static sites, Next.js for dynamic applications, and headless CMS solutions when content management is needed. This gives us the flexibility to choose the best tool for each project while maintaining high performance standards.
