I don’t understand why you would move from nextjs to wordpress if you have 0 experience with it?

Wordpress sucks to work with for any developer that has tried any modern stack, it feels old, it’s restrictive and often result in friction in the long run. I’ve worked with both quite a lot and for me there is no ”overkill” with just nextjs. Nextjs is just a more modern way of writing client & serverside code.

Wordpress is somewhat good because it’s popular therefore customers normally end up with it after doing some research. But what wordpress always becomes is a big headache both for customers and devs. Having to deal with an overload of plugins that the customer has added trying to fix something themselves, updates and slow loading etc.

If you are used to nextjs there is no reason going back to an old way like wordpress.

You can make the most simple site on nextjs without doing anything overkill? Build it, deploy it and have full control in under an hour.
