But, to be more direct to your question, WordPress is what's called a CMS (Content Management System). Unless your site is very basic, or extremely customized, a CMS is important. WordPress is a competent CMS, but it can be difficult to work with. There is a new CMS I'm very excited about called Strapi that is very developer focused. Strapi is a headless CMS, which means it takes care of all the content behind the scene, and you're responsible for building the site to ingest that content. A Strapi backend with a Vue/Nuxt frontend - that would be a great site and developer experience!
