Holywar: when to use Laravel vs WordPress?
Feb 18, 2016 @ 17:09:15

On the Laravel Daily site there's an interesting article that shares some opinions on when to use Laravel and when to use WordPress as a base for your applications.

In PHP world there are two big groups of developers – those who work with Content Management Systems (WordPress, Drupal etc.) and those with frameworks (Laravel, Symfony etc.). And rarely people work with both worlds – cause their philosophy is fundamentally different.

But when you get a new project from a client – how to decide whether Laravel is the best choice? Or maybe simple WordPress would be enough and would save time/money? Sometimes it’s not that easy to decide. So here are my tips – questions you need to ask.

In the remainder of the article he suggests four questions to ask yourself to help make the decision one way or another:

  • Content or user actions?
  • Plugins or packages?
  • MVP or serious project?
  • Who will work on the project?

He elaborates on each point with a bit more context and criteria that could help answer the question in your case.
