§ 01When WordPress is fine
It works for simple blogs, small websites or teams already comfortable with the editor and without complex integrations.
Risk grows when plugins, custom fields and theme edits accumulate without version control.
§ 02When Next.js or Astro is better
Choose them when speed, architecture, integrations, security, custom UI and predictable maintenance matter.
Astro often fits content sites; Next.js fits dynamic interfaces and portals.
§ 03Cost of ownership
A cheap CMS start can become expensive maintenance in a year. Custom stack costs more initially but is clearer to evolve.
Compare total ownership: updates, security, performance, changes and migrations.
