01 / FIELD NOTE
Map what your team needs to change
A content-led business may value a familiar publishing workflow. A product with complex permissions or custom operations may need a more specialised application. List the tasks before comparing technology names.
02 / FIELD NOTE
Consider the full ownership cost
Include hosting, security updates, plugin licences, integrations, and maintenance. Either approach can become difficult when too many features are added without a clear owner or a realistic support plan.
03 / FIELD NOTE
Choose for the next useful stage
Ask how content will move, how accounts will be handed over, and how future changes will be delivered. The right platform supports your actual requirements and the people who will use it.
