Consider who will update the site
WordPress can be a strong fit when nontechnical teams need familiar content editing and the site follows conventional publishing patterns.
Consider what the product must do
A custom application may fit better when workflows, integrations, or interfaces are central to the experience. The choice should follow requirements rather than trends.
Leave room to evolve
Write down the content model, integration points, and ownership plan early. These decisions make future changes easier whichever platform you choose.
