How and why I rebuilt my website from WordPress to EmDash

For a long time, my website lived on WordPress with Elementor. That setup did something important for us: it made the site editable for my cofounder without needing me for every small change. That part genuinely mattered, and I do not want to pretend otherwise. When you are building something together, having a visual editor is useful. It lowers the barrier to making content changes, and it keeps the website from becoming "the developer’s problem" every single time something needs to be updated. Still, over time I noticed I was starting to avoid working on the site. Not because I had run out of ideas, but because improving it had become annoying in a very specific way. Every time I wanted to tweak styling, clean up layout, improve structure, or make broader SEO changes, I felt like I had to fight through layers of builder settings, theme behavior, and plugin logic. Nothing was impossible, but very little felt clean. That was the real problem for me. Elementor solved the editing problem
