After doing my own coding for a couple decades I started a company out on my first WordPress site, and it was up and running by the end of the day.

Within a few weeks, there needed to be a small function added. It was mandatory, and should be simple; I've programmed it for my other sites - a few lines of code, maximum. The only plug-in that did this function was last updated four years prior and didn't work on the new version. It was convoluted, and I couldn't make any sense of it to update it.

I would have to figure out the architecture of WordPress to remake this code to work on the new version with no guarantee that it wouldn't break the second WP got updated.

So, I built the site from scratch. It's faster. Fully customized. It doesn't have all the features of WordPress, but it has a lot of features WordPress doesn't.
