Sure, WordPress is cheap, even free. In theory. But, both my agency and my peers who have done projects on WordPress and Webflow/Squarespace, find that WordPress often gets pricey after all. The accumulating cost includes everything from the cost of plugins to maintenance cost to developers. Here is a video that breaks down the cost, and showcases a side-by-side speed comparison of the same site made in Webflow and WordPress: Yes, and if you need these infinite possibilities so much that it outweighs all the issues in this post, go for it. If you can cover your needs with Squarespace (do it yourself) or Webflow (for designers and developers), do that instead. I gave it a read, and can’t find any arguments that outweigh what I have discussed in this post. At a high level, the following is the author's main points. I’ll add my comments. If you search “should I use WordPress for my business website”, you will get a sweet mix of YES and NO articles. Here is the most in-depth YES article I could find in the top 10 results: https://medium.com/swlh/why-wordpress-is-the-best-platform-to-build-your-business-or-startup-website-on-df3fe932fad7

WordPress crushes other well known CMS platforms like Joomla and Drupal

Well yes, I wouldn’t touch Joomla or Drupal with a ten-foot pole. Being better than those two does not mean WordPress is the right tool for our job.

Wordpress scales better than Wix because of Wix’s limited functionality

Sure, you might be limited by Wix at some point if you were to use that no-code website builder. I have never even bothered using Wix though, for the simple reason that I have never been recommended that platform by any of my peers or tech role models ever! And I have no desire to eat shit to figure out what it tastes like. Ok, that was harsh, but he does not cover the obvious better alternatives; Squarespace and Webflow (I’m getting tired of those names too by now, sorry). Wix might be ok, and it might also be a good WordPress alternative in the age of no-code. But the extreme freedom of being able to place endless elements anywhere on the page might very well leave you with a mess and poor user experience for your visitors unless you know exactly what you’re doing.

Wix is kind of in-between Squarespace and Webflow:

Webflow - Build with total freedom, like you would have coded it, but visually. Skills required. Acquire them here. - Build with total freedom, like you would have coded it, but visually.

Squarespace - Get a simple and pretty website with as little build work as possible. Almost no skills required. I think we can say Wix is like Microsoft’s PowerPoint - you can do almost anything, and most of the time that ends up looking pretty ugly unless you’re a designer. And Squarespace is like Apple’s Keynote. You have very limited options, but it always ends up looking beautiful!

Endless plugins and integrations

Yes for sure! But that also comes with all the challenges outlined in My main issues with WordPress specifically. In my experience with Webflow so far, I have very rarely come across a challenge that I cannot solve fairly easily, without the equivalent of a Wordpress plugin. The author mentions e-commerce with WooCommerce. E-commerce comes with Webflow. He mentions membership sites with paid subscriptions. This is super well integrated with Webflow using https://www.memberstack.io/. Generally, a lot of the really cool services out there, like Mailchimp for email marketing, integrate with just about any platform. This is because both the service providers and the platform managers share the incentive to work together.
