One new website, two ways to run it

Both demos show the same new design and the same projects. The only difference is the editor your team would use. Try the three tasks below in each, then send us your scores.

WordPress

Edit the page itself and click Save. Familiar, and widely known by freelancers.

Try the WordPress editor Loads a full WordPress in your browser: allow about 20 seconds

Next.js + Decap

Fill in a simple form and watch a live preview beside it. Very little upkeep.

Your scores

How easy was each task? 1 means very hard and 5 means very easy. Your answers stay in this browser until you copy them.

How they compare

	WordPress	Next.js + Decap
Look and mobile	Identical	Identical
Editing	Edit the page itself, then Save. Live instantly.	A form with a live preview. The site updates about a minute after Publish.
Upkeep	WordPress and plugin updates are needed regularly for security.	Almost none. The live site is plain files.
Hosting cost	Needs a PHP host (PFC already pays for one).	Can be hosted at no cost.
Speed	Fast if kept lean.	Very fast by default.
Finding help later	Easy: most freelancers know WordPress.	Harder: needs a developer comfortable with this setup.
When something breaks	Staff can often fix it themselves.	More likely to need a developer.

Good to know

Both demos are private to your browser. Nothing you change is public or reaches PFC’s real website, so experiment freely. The Decap demo resets when you reload; the WordPress demo may remember your changes in this browser.
In the Decap demo, your changes show in the preview beside the form. On the real site, Publish updates the live page about a minute later.
Boxes that say "from PFC needed" are waiting for photos from your team.
Every status says "to confirm" except Himalayan Kids, until your team confirms which work is active.
