This post is born from a discussion here in this subreddit.
how many times a project for a client need a custom post type and how many time the client asked for a blog / news section?

i wonder coz in my personal experience most of the projects in the 2020s has beed a website without any blogging section (or just "10 posts coz i read it drive traffic").

I d go to say that:

• a good 50% just needed pages (or ecommerce/both *)
• 30% extra CPT
• 10% needed both CPT and post
• and only 10% asked for Blogs /news.

* yes, the "product" section is a CPT but it s created by the plugin.

Edit: i added "news" to better specify the blog section
