Web & mobile applications
This category gathers guides and resources on custom applications — when WordPress is no longer the right tool for your project.
When to step outside the CMS
Three families of projects fall outside the WordPress scope:
- Custom web app — marketplace, business platform, internal tool, simulator. Dedicated business logic, user accounts, real-time data.
- Mobile application (PWA) — field tool, treasure hunt, app installable on smartphones without going through app stores.
- Applicative extension — a Headless site that needs to host an applicative zone (member area, configurator, e-learning).
