WordPress, Tilda or Next.js: which to choose for a business website
The question 'what to build a website on?' faces every entrepreneur. WordPress, Tilda, and Next.js are the three most popular options in Uzbekistan. Each has its pros and cons. Let's break it down honestly, without marketing.
WordPress: the old reliable builder
Pros:
• Huge plugin ecosystem (60,000+).
• Large community — easy to find a developer.
• Great for blogs and simple sites.
• Cheap hosting (from $3/mo).
Cons:
• Slow loading — typical WordPress site loads in 4–6 seconds.
• Security issues — WordPress is target #1 for hackers.
• SEO requires many plugins (Yoast, WP Rocket, WebP Express).
• Template design — sites look the same.
Ideal for: blogs, portfolios, simple informational sites with minimal budget.
Tilda: beautiful but limited
Pros:
• Visual builder — can make a site without a programmer.
• Beautiful ready-made blocks and templates.
• Built-in CRM and analytics.
• Quick launch (1–3 days).
Cons:
• Subscription $25–30/mo forever — over 2 years that's $600+.
• Limited SEO — no full code control.
• Platform dependency — if Tilda shuts down, your site disappears.
• Slow loading with many blocks.
• Can't connect your own database or complex logic.
Ideal for: quick-launch landing pages, testing ideas, personal pages.
Next.js: the modern standard
Pros:

• Full SEO control — meta tags, JSON-LD, sitemap, hreflang.
• Security — no database to hack (static site).
• Scalability — from landing to platform on one technology.
• Free hosting on Vercel (up to certain traffic).
Cons:

• Higher development cost — from $160.
• Content updates through code (or headless CMS).
Ideal for: business sites, ad landing pages, e-commerce, projects focused on SEO and speed.
