GM Designers/Developers I have a website built in Joomla 4.

It's a basic one pager website that links out to flick and social media accounts, with a simple contact form.
Nothing fancy, nothing elaborated. The domains is old under the same registrar, with some good powerful backlinks.

I am thinking WordPress can do a better job and I can use a snap plug in to auto-post images posts to fb/ig/twitter and removing the later.com service.
This way we can sell display the images better inside the website rather than external site, which will count as view for the domain.
Also this way we can probably link each image for sale/print.

My question is, Joomla 4 is very robust secure, cleaner code, you can create custom structures, but I find it lacking on displayable galleries or addons for photography.
While WordPress is widely used, more options for photography, but also more spam, more security issues. With all the new stuff they both offer.

Which one will you chose? Why you choose one over the other?

Thanks
 
WordPress, for sure. Easier to update, an endless supply of plugins, SEO-friendly, etc. The list goes on. It's more popular and widely used for a reason.
 
I would go for WordPress. It is easier to work around and it has several plugins that can do almost anything you can imagine.
 
I Started with Joomla and now use Wordpress more

I think wordpress community is far better than Joomla and if your are into photo publishing, you may find Wordpress far better
