Don't Choose a CMS Just Because It's Popular.
WordPress, Framer, Webflow, Shopify…
They can all be great.
But the "best" CMS depends on the business behind the website.
Before I recommend a platform, I look at:
→ What type of content do you manage?
→ Who will update the website?
→ How often will content change?
→ How much flexibility will you need?
→ Will the website need to scale?
A portfolio website doesn't have the same needs as an e-commerce store.
A service business doesn't have the same content structure as a media company.
That's why I don't start with:
"Which platform should we use?"
I start with:
"What does the business actually need?"
Then I choose the CMS that makes the website easier to manage, easier to scale, and better for the people using it.
The right CMS isn't the one with the most features.
It's the one that fits the business.

I’ve been staring at these two for too long, so I’ll let you decide.
Both are homepage directions for Spinergy, a Webflow template for wind energy companies.
Which one would you choose?

What should a homepage prioritize first: understanding or action?
A hero section can look almost identical visually and still be built around a completely different goal.
Version A focuses on clarity. Version B focuses on conversion.
One helps users understand before they decide. The other makes the next step immediately obvious. Neither approach is automatically better. The right one depends on what visitors need most at that stage of the journey.
Which would you prioritize on a homepage: clarity first or action first?

I love the filled button more than the outline however I recommend to use one filled button and the other should be secondary otherwise users will be confused “where should I click”
Designing the page behind the ad 🎯
Someone paid real money for that click, so the page has exactly one job.. keep the promise the ad made. Everything gets arranged in the order a skeptical buyer actually thinks & anything that pulls attention away from the button gets cut.
Case study 👉 wayrise.studio/work/moov
Exactly. Love the focus on designing around the buyer’s actual thought process!
