You’re launching a new site and three names keep coming up: Next.js, Framer, WordPress. Each has its fans, its critics, and most importantly its ideal use case. Here’s how to decide.
Next.js: maximum performance
When you want a lightning-fast, custom-built site designed for long-term SEO. Ideal if you have a development budget and technical performance is a competitive edge.
Who it’s for
Growth-stage startups, SaaS, premium e-commerce, media.
Framer: the design / autonomy sweet spot
You want a beautiful, animated site that you can edit yourself without calling a developer for every comma. Framer does all that better than Webflow today.
Who it’s for
Creative agencies, freelancers, product landing pages, portfolios.
WordPress: proven flexibility
43% of the web runs on it for a reason. Massive ecosystem, plugins for everything — and a headless setup (like we use at Kompose) keeps WP flexibility on the content side and Next.js speed on the front.
Who it’s for
Content sites, blogs, large e-commerce, complex multilingual projects.
