Laravel vs WordPress?

Question

PHP

Hello colleagues. Let me tell you about myself so you can understand why I have such doubts. He started his career as a web designer, then grew up to a project manager. Then he worked as the CEO of a financial company. After he founded his own Web studio and was engaged in more sales. But during the quarantine, I remembered the past and began to tightly implement WordPress-based sites, and my specialists created projects on pure code or on frameworks, and the result was the same.
Now my question. I'm planning to launch an aggregator site. My designer did the design and we already wanted to start laying out and programming on the basis of the Laravel framework, but I came across a WordPress template that has everything I want and even more. Now I'm at a loss as to which one to choose.
Question! What to choose laravel or WordPress with template?
If I choose WordPress, will it not work out for me if the project grows?
Help make a decision. Waiting for your arguments, thanks!

Answer 1

It all starts with TK. If it is not there, or there is no understanding of what it is, there is no time to work out the TK, then it’s faster to take and make the first version on your knee and WordPress. After the run-in, you will already realize whether the project will take off and how much it will be loaded, what it can run into in the future when continuing to develop on WordPress. Then come back with this question. At least it will be possible to answer it more or less adequately.

Answer 2

Incorrect question.
It is more correct to compare October CMS and Wordpress.
And the choice is clear - October CMS

Answer 3

For understanding. We did some project on WP. Updated design + new features. Why was WP chosen? That is why the company's employees are used to its admin panel and it will be difficult for them to use something else. Well, in order not to waste time, they asked us to do on top of an existing one. Yes, and I wanted to save SEO. As a result, 1.5 months for the backend. In my opinion, during this time it was possible not only to update, but to write this project completely from scratch without any crutches, and there would be time left.

Answer 4

Here, without talking - Wordpress. In fact, this is a very convenient and multifunctional CMS, and not just a CMS for blogs, as many people think. Many famous sites are powered by Wordpress. I don’t particularly remember projects on Laravel, for some reason they are bent.

Answer 5

Here without talking Wysiwyg Web Builder 16.

• Convenient system for visual development of website design (grids, flexes, css and js effects);
  
• Large ready-made base for JS work;
  
• Wide functionality for working with forms (mail, mysql, csv);
  
• Ready-made tools for working with MySQL;
  
• Custom code PHP, MySQL, JQuery, HTML, CSS;
  
• Own MySQL-based CMS and json content editor;
  
• Add-ons for various tasks MySQL CRUD, MySQL Data Table;
  
• The ability to develop your own extensions for the framework.
  

This system will replace the designer and programmer in one person.
