WordPress, Next.js or Laravel: choosing the right stack

We build with WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, Next.js, React and Laravel. Here is how we think about choosing between three of them.

WordPress: when you want to edit it yourself

For most business websites, WordPress is the best balance of speed to launch, cost and control. You can change text, photos and prices without a developer.

Next.js and React: when speed and experience matter

Next.js builds very fast websites and web apps with smooth, modern interfaces. It works well for custom front-ends, and it can use WordPress as the place where you manage content.

Laravel: when you need a secure back-end

Laravel is our choice for portals, dashboards, booking systems and APIs, anything with accounts, permissions and business logic.

They also work together

This very site is an example: content is edited in WordPress, and the website is built with Next.js for speed.
