Choose Django when growth means structured records, accounts, workflows, integrations, or reusable application logic rather than merely a larger number of content pages.
Choose hosting from the website's actual platform, runtime, traffic, backup, support, access, and maintenance requirements instead of buying from a marketing tier.

Choose WordPress when its content-management workflow and ecosystem match the site's needs, and consider simpler or custom architecture when those requirements point elsewhere.
Choose checkout when price, scope, availability, and fulfillment are standardized enough for customers to complete the transaction without hidden negotiation; otherwise build a better inquiry workflow.

A website should be evaluated across customer clarity, content, navigation, mobile use, forms, performance, search, software, ownership, and maintainability before a rebuild is treated as the answer.
