Having a website on an outdated platform can be painfully limiting for you and very annoying for your audience.
Which CMS to choose is a topic for another article, as there is no single answer and it depends on each website, something that requires a specific approach.

In the era of mobile-first indexing and considering the large proportion of mobile vs desktop traffic, you should not doubt that optimizing for a mobile version is a must.
