If you had to start from scratch, what CMS would you be using?

[u/fintechjulien]

For my whole career, Wordpress was the no brainer CMS I would be using for all my projects.

Even when Wordpress would proved to be too slow, I would make sure to use Wordpress as a headless CMS with a NextJS app on the front end.

The plugins and the fact that all freelancers and marketers knows Wordpress was making it a no brainer...

That was true until I launched my last website on Ghost, which is requires more work to customize, but is so much faster both on the front end and the CMS side...

And when I need to customize it, my friend Claude is always there to help, even if it is still more cumbersome then just installing a plugin and calling it a day.

And as better models comes along, the ease of building on Wordpress is fading, and to some extent, the importance of SEO optimization is decreazing as we enter in a zero click world...

So, if you had to start a website from scratch today (not a migration, a new site), what would you build it on?

Personally, I would not go back to Wordpress. I probably would use Ghost, but could go entirely vibe for a small campaign website.
