Neither is better. It depends on the job.
Direct answer
Choose WordPress when you need a content management system with plugins and non-technical editors. Choose custom code for small, fast, unique sites, portfolios and when you want to learn. Many teams use static sites with a headless CMS as a middle path.
Comparison
| WordPress | Custom code | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | quick with themes | needs coding skills |
| Content editing | easy for non-developers | depends on setup |
| Maintenance | updates and security | fewer moving parts |
| Flexibility | huge plugin ecosystem | complete control |
| Speed | depends on theme and plugins | fast by default |
When to pick each
WordPress: blogs, small business sites with frequent updates, shops using plugins. Custom code: portfolios, landing pages, learning projects, apps.
