Choosing honestly.
CHOOSE STATIC WHEN
The content changes rarely You do not need accounts or a database Speed and security matter Someone technical maintains it
CHOOSE WORDPRESS WHEN
A non-technical person must edit content You need a shop, membership or booking You want plugins for functionality You want to publish without a build step
CHOOSE A FRAMEWORK WHEN
You are building an application rather than a site Complex interaction is the point You have developers
THE HONEST POSITION FOR MOST BUSINESSES
WordPress, because someone needs to edit content without a developer.
That single requirement decides it more often than anything technical.
WHEN STATIC IS CLEARLY BETTER
A landing page Documentation A portfolio Anything one person maintains and rarely changes
WHAT NOT TO DECIDE ON
What is fashionable What a developer prefers
Decide on who maintains it and what it must do.
