WordPress is still the right default for companies that publish, rank, and take payments without a standing frontend team. Next.js is right when the interface is the product and git is already the culture. “Next because it feels modern” is how a brochure becomes a hostage.
Stay on WordPress when
- Non-engineers will edit weekly.
- WooCommerce, forms, and SEO plugins are the job.
- Care is a monthly retainer, not a squad.
Move to Next.js when
- You are shipping an app, not a brochure.
- You have APIs and a design system.
- Someone will own the repo after launch day.
We ship both. Proof lives in work. Stores start at ecommerce. Demand starts at GEO and SEO. Stack fights get settled on a call, via contact.
