NOTE : I have added the Laravel estimation in the document because,
WordPress is good for quick setup and low cost, but it heavily depends on
plugins, has security risks, limited scalability, and lacks advanced features like
real-time notifications, reputation, and voting. For long-term growth and
custom community features, Laravel or React+Node is a better choice.
