When Andrés and I started building websites, WordPress was one of the first things we tried.

It made sense. There were themes, plugins for almost everything, and you could get a website running pretty quickly.

But we didn't stick with it for very long.

The problem wasn't that WordPress was bad. It was that we quickly realized how complicated a "simple" website could become.

You'd install a plugin for one thing, another plugin for something else, then discover that two of them didn't really like each other. Updates could break things. Customizing something beyond what the theme allowed could get annoying very quickly.
