What platform would you choose for creating a website?

Elementor! Only because I don’t like my page builder being tied to my hosting. If not using a page builder, I know next.js and vercel is a popular combination.

For sheer time-to-live speed I'd consider Unicorn Platform by @johnrushx Also because I'm a lazy developer :)

Depends on what I'm building... I've used wordpress, wix, shopiffy as well as building completely from scratch and hosting on GCP or Azure
