How to actually decide
- Who edits it? Visual editor → WordPress/Shopify side. Developer-led → either side.
- What’s the content model? Products vs pages vs posts decides the platform economics.
- What’s the 3-year cost? Build + fees + maintenance - not just build.
- What breaks first? Every platform has a failure mode; know yours before committing.
