Start with the job, not the product
List the layouts, templates, content types, integrations and editing responsibilities your site requires. Then decide which layer should own each responsibility: WordPress core, the theme, blocks, plugins or hosting.
Keep the stack understandable
Fewer overlapping tools usually make a WordPress site easier to maintain. Prefer a coherent system where global styles, templates and reusable components have clear ownership.
Where GeneratePress may fit
If a lightweight, block-oriented foundation suits your requirements, GeneratePress is one product worth evaluating alongside its competitors.
