With so many website platforms and technologies emerging lately—like Webflow, Shopify, and headless CMS options—I’m wondering if WordPress development services are still the best route for building modern, high-performance websites.

I know WordPress has a huge community, tons of plugins, and is super flexible, but is it keeping up with today’s design, speed, and security standards? Are businesses still seeing great results using WordPress, or are there better alternatives for modern needs?

If you’ve worked with WordPress developers recently, or switched to/from WordPress, I’d love to hear your thoughts! What were the pros and cons? Would you still recommend WordPress for a new website in 2025?
