In my opinion, Wordpress can also be a way to enter programming. I started buying themes, later I used pagebuilders and today I code my own templates with minimal use of plugins. I prefer classic themes. Block themes are difficult to use in real life, because clients are basically not interested in them.
@Dorian, Building custom WP themes requires a lot of coding skills because it is done 100% in code. Themes require a lot of PHP, JS, styling and other knowledge. There is the ability to build custom plugins in VUE, React or other libraries. I agree that for an absolute beginner using WP's GUI makes sense but coding themes requires just as much knowledge as what I'll call vanilla site building.
I have done a lot with WP as a freelancer in a short period of time , yes, not a lot of coding involved but having the knowledge of HTML and CSS has been a huge helper to build amazing websites. Also like you said, content management, web administrator are positions that can get you started in the tech industry, that’s what Coding Phase preach, I got to this channel because of him 🙌🏻.
Thank you, great video. I’ve been working with WordPress and Elementor for years, using HTML and CSS alongside them. I’ve often considered learning PHP and JavaScript to advance my career. My question is: with the rise of AI potentially automating many development tasks, is it still worth investing significant time and money into learning these languages?
I learned web dev and React because of the WordPress. If you're plugin developer you need to know basics like HTML, PHP, JS as well as React and the WordPress API's, MySQL queries, deployment, Git, etc.
i have seen a few courses on custom theme dev with wordpress, though the themes seemed too crude, rudimentary, how to get really good with worpress theme building if it is economically viable at all.
WordPress is only good for building small solutions. static websites with few pages and functionalities it's not scaleable nor reliable a custom app requires one-time effort mean while wordpress requires consistent maintenance
To me Wordpress is for the people who are to lazy to actually dedicate themselves to learning how to code: they’re always so defensive because they know this too
I use to hate the thought of WordPress and was teaching myself how to code with Jon Duckett's book but WordPress seems solid. Been using it lately. Not a diehard "web developer or coder/programmer." Seems like a good solution for the average person with the plug-in integration. Most people aren't going out their way to make bespoke coded websites. They want something concise and just simply works which is WordPress / Squarespace / Shopify depending on their needs maybe even Ghost (Blog Platform).
Webflow is a great page building tool. The big difference is that Webflow requires you to do almost everything in their ecosystem (builder, CMS, and hosting) and pay $$$ for each. When you create a WP site you can get away with just paying for hosting for less than $15 per month, as opposed to paying $100+ for webflow
How are our agencies making 6-7 figures a year using WordPress then? How are plugin developers, hosting companies, etc. making 7-9 figures a year then? WordPress is anything but dead.
@@mihaiandrei97 all of that people that you mentioned offer bad backward service. They basically lie to their customers. It's like Wix. Is Wix any good? No, it's crap. But they manage to sell their crap somehow..

Not anymore, with FSE you can build themes visually.
"Themes" should just consist of plain HTML and responsive CSS. I don't know what you fools are on about.

Yes it Worth for Freelacing Dev.

Can I ask you for some advice ?
@@n1npo sure, go ahead
I hear WordPress and run and click
I've been blogging on Wordpress for over a decade. Best CMS on the market and it's not even close.
40% of the internet is WP & 63% of CMS is WP.

Wordpress is toooo bloated

lol idk I think webflow is a better no code tool

Wordpress is dead. And if it is not - it should be.
Is it 😮

It's dead in your head 😅
@@mihaiandrei97 Your profit margins would be closer to 1:1 if you ditched WordPress.
