The most widely used CMS, flexibly extensible, including with ACF.
WordPress is the most widely used content management system in the world and powers a large share of the entire web. It does not separate content and presentation strictly but brings both together in themes and plugins, which keeps the barrier to entry low. Through custom fields like ACF and custom post types it extends well beyond a simple blog into a structured editorial platform. Its real strength is the enormous ecosystem and the familiarity: an editorial team finds its footing quickly and can maintain content independently, without asking about every little thing.
More in the documentationWe reach for WordPress when your team should keep content in hand for the long term and a familiar, well-documented interface matters more than an exotic setup. With ACF we model clean, structured fields so your editorial team does not improvise in a text editor but maintains real content blocks. That saves you ongoing maintenance cost, because you no longer need anyone for routine changes.
add_action('init', function () {
register_post_type('project', [
'public' => true,
'label' => 'Projects',
'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-portfolio',
'supports' => ['title', 'editor', 'thumbnail'],
'rewrite' => ['slug' => 'projects'],
'show_in_rest' => true,
]);
});Good to know
Keep the number of plugins deliberately small. Every plugin is third-party code with its own update cycle, and that is where most security and performance problems originate, not in the core.
