Can I Build a Tool Website on Magento Instead of WordPress?

[halfbirthdb6cb]

I’ve been working on a fun little side project — a Half Birthday Calculator that lets users quickly find out when their half birthday is. I currently have it built using WordPress, and you can see it live here: https://halfbirthdaycal.com/

The tool is pretty straightforward, Now, I’m curious if something like this could be implemented using Magento?

I know Magento is mainly used for eCommerce, but I'm wondering:

• Has anyone tried adding interactive, calculator-style tools on their Magento site?
• Is Magento flexible enough for non-eCommerce features like this?
• Would it make sense to build something like this as a Magento extension/module?

I'd love to hear your thoughts or if anyone has done something similar. Appreciate any guidance or suggestions!

Yes, you can build a tool website like your Half Birthday Calculator on Magento, but it's not ideal. Here's a short breakdown:

• Magento is overkill for simple tools; it's built for complex eCommerce.

• Yes, you can create interactive tools  using custom modules or widgets in Magento.

• But for a non-eCommerce tool, WordPress or plain HTML/JS is much faster and easier.

I’ve seen similar setups while working with youcine for their product listings and interfaces—Magento’s scalability really shines in these cases.
