This section lists concrete tools and stacks that can satisfy specific constraints described elsewhere in this manual. The entries are descriptive: what a tool tends to fit, what it tends to cost in control, maintenance, complexity, or dependence.
Inclusion is not endorsement. Absence is not judgment. Nothing here is ordered as a recommendation.
Some links in this section may be affiliate links. This does not change the constraints, tradeoffs, or descriptions.
Hosting
Where code runs, where content is stored, and who owns runtime responsibility.
Site Builders
Hosted systems that trade control and portability for lower operational surface area.
WordPress Stack
WordPress as an ownership boundary: themes, plugins, managed hosts, and update surface area.
Static Stack
Static generation, deployment platforms, and the operational profile of build-then-serve.
Commerce
Checkout, catalog management, tax and shipping complexity, and platform dependence.
Supporting Tools
Tools that are frequently paired with the above but are not a site type on their own.
This section is optional. It exists as a concrete layer after the conceptual pages, for readers who already know which constraints they are accepting and want to see what those constraints look like in real products.
