I work in custom code, not page builders. That means a cleaner project you can maintain yourself or hand to another developer without vendor lock-in. Standard stack for custom WordPress development: WordPress with Carbon Fields v3 for content modelling, Tailwind v4 for styling, Alpine.js for interactivity and GSAP for animation. For edge work I use Cloudflare Workers, for builds Vite. At ePAK the product configurator and international landing pages have been running on this stack since 2023; what I learned there about scale and hreflang goes one-to-one into new projects. Code is delivered documented so handover to a team or agency works without vendor lock-in.
