WordPress vs EmDash (2026): Which Fits Your Next Site?

Image
EmDash is an open-source content management system from Cloudflare, built in TypeScript on the Astro framework. Cloudflare introduced it as a spiritual successor to WordPress , and version 1.0 marked its first stable release . This article compares EmDash with WordPress based on the kind of site you are building and who will edit it. I have read up on EmDash and watched demos. Some of it does not impress me yet, but the project is early. We like many of Cloudflare’s products and value what the company does for the web.

A portfolio that only shows thumbnails is easy to ignore. Clients and prospects want to see proof, including engagement stats. That means your project grid has to do more than look like a gallery. People should be able to search by client, narrow the work by service or industry, and see the stats that make the Project worth showing.

Flexbox handles the structure, and Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) supplies the numbers and labels that make each card a case study instead of a screenshot. In this post, we’ll walk you through creating the necessary custom fields for the portfolio, building the Loop, and configuring the Loop filters....
