I would strongly advise against using WordPress in 2024, it's not a good example of how websites should be built in the modern internet age.


We'll have to agree to disagree. It's not glamorous or super fun to develop on, but is in very battle-tested. WordPress runs 40-something percent of all sites, and WooCommerce is the most popular eCommerce system in the world. I host hundreds of enterprise clients on WordPress.


"Battle-tested" wouldn't be the word I'd use to describe WordPress. It's easy to make a website with it, hence the 40-something percen of all sites, but it's just a huge pile of bad patterns mixed together and nothing more.
