Carrd

Mixo

Mixo's solo core is compact: build a focused AI website builder generator that edits structured page sections, previews responsive layouts, and publishes static files. A competent builder can reach a useful personal version, while the paid product mainly wins on editor, CMS, hosting, polish.

WordPress

The thing people actually use WordPress for on a personal site, write posts, upload images, publish, have an RSS feed, is a focused build and always has been. An agent can hand you a SQLite-backed CMS with a markdown editor, media uploads, drafts, tags, and a sitemap in a focused implementation, and it will be faster and less hackable than the real thing. What you cannot one-shot is the other 90 percent of WordPress: 60,000 plugins, WooCommerce, Yoast, Elementor, the block editor, and the fact that any freelancer on earth can pick up your site. Also worth noting that core WordPress is already free and self-hostable, so the honest question is whether you want to maintain your own CMS instead of someone else's. If your site has a contact form, a store, or a client who needs to log in, stop reading and just install WordPress.
