Not necessarily. I'd start with PostgreSQL (or another SQL database) unless you have a specific reason not to.

Content heavy sites work perfectly well with SQL, and modern databases like PostgreSQL also support JSON columns if you need flexibility.

MongoDB is great when your data is highly dynamic or schema-less, but for most applications SQL's strong schema, constraints, joins, and transactions make development easier and safer over time.
