Wordpress Or Build From Scratch, Which Is It To Be? by tunaxy(m): 8:30am On Aug 12, 2021 |
As a web developer, you've probably get your hands dirty building a lot of websites, whether for your own business or for others... We're talking about all kinds of websites, be it a blog, e-commerce, e-learning platform, even a static web page. Armed with enough knowledge of HTML & CSS or a little something about bootstrap and you're sure to come up with a very beautiful static webpage, of course without a back-end functionality. So to build a very dynamic webpage, on your own from scratch requires a lot to know, you're probably want to know a lot of fronted like react-js, HTML & CSS, coupled with technology for back-end and their frameworks, like PHP, node, Python, a lot to digest isn't it? but which I thought might be easier if you have a team of developers working together towards the same goal. But technology today is evolving amazingly geometrically, where even people with no previous knowledge of any programming whatsoever can own a website and manage their websites on their own, without re-inventing the wheel using various platforms like Wordpress, Drupal, Wix, Shopify, Jumla, Squarespace, Weebly, etc. This brought us to the discussion... As an experienced website developer, will you rather build your own website from scratch, or choose wordpress as a means for getting things done? |

If it's a three page website to showcase services, portfolio or a blog, I'd rather use wordpress than to build from scratch. Because it gets the work down efficiently and gives client maximum control on the site, scalability also, maybe later if there's need to extend the site's features. I really want to learn wordpress, I've seen a lot of remote wordpress jobs on LinkedIn, especially for those that can create themes and plugins from scratch. Deuces. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

HafsaUmar: If you intend to create WordPress themes then you'd have to learn the required languages and apply them to WordPress development. For easy management by people who are not technically- inclined, it's better building using CRMs like WordPress then infusing all your coding skills into it to make it better. Dangote's website is built on WordPress software but the theme and many features are custom-coded. Even BBC too. 2 Likes |

DissTroy: I really appreciate your reply, how can I do this? I'm very comfortable with HTML, CSS and Javascript, just started learning react recently, my plan is, after I'm done with react, I'll jump into php, then wordpress. I've read about Jamstack but not in-depth though, seems the journey will be long though. Thank You. 3 Likes 1 Share |

HafsaUmar: I think to be Sucessfull WordPress developer you need to add some things like Jquery and MySQL in your list because they are the technologies used in building custom plugins 1 Like |
Re: Wordpress Or Build From Scratch, Which Is It To Be? by HafsaUmar(f): 10:53pm On Aug 12, 2021 |
ahmedsaniadamu: Thank you, I think JQuery is very easy to grasp if one is solid in vanillaJS, so that's checked already, I dunno about MySQL though. I want to go into the deep stuffs, headlesss CMS stuffs. e.t.c thanks for stopping by Ahmed. Kai bahaushe ne? 1 Like |

HafsaUmar:You are on the right track. Modern WordPress theme development is moving jam stack. WordPress also has Gutenberg which is powered by React. Learn React well then pick up gatsby or nextjs. I have been doing jamstack for about a year. Tons of opportunities for you. 11 Likes 3 Shares |

tensazangetsu20: For someone who wants to delve deep into WordPress, how would you advise the person to navigate through. I mean, the topics he needs to pay serious attention to. |
Re: Wordpress Or Build From Scratch, Which Is It To Be? by tensazangetsu20(m): 12:41am On Aug 15, 2021 |
elunico: On the backend side of things learn PHP then learn hooks and shortcodes. Also need to learn ACF and how it works too. Gutenberg is hot for custom blocks right now. Wpdb if you are doing monolithic stuff. On the frontend learn React really really well. Theres a lot more but those are the things I really work with. 2 Likes |

You should learn from scratch for fee months to gain some background experience then you can move to wordpress development... |

tensazangetsu20: I think using WP REST API as backend and React js as front-end works too, one can create wordpress theme with the two technologies....I stand to be corrected though |

olukunle50: I personally think you should take this route instead of diving deep into the World of PHP. Building sites with Wordpress is already clogged with a lot of new - average developers, therefore having the ability to build a headless wordpress with react as frontend will make you stand out from the crowd. As sides its speed, its more customizable and your knowledge in react will open you to more opportunities and transitioning to other technologies is also be easier. Also the WP REST api will give you a working knowledge of REST API and crud functionality. |

Developing a unique website is quite an expensive pleasure, not every company can afford it. But today, to start your own business on the Internet, there is no need to order the service of such expensive specialists as developers and UI/UX designers. A great alternative to developing a custom website is to adapt a template site. It is much cheaper, easier, and faster. Naturally, the site's cost at a professional WordPress development service will be much more pleasant than developing a site from scratch. |

The fastest and most convenient booster I have ever seen in my life. By the way, it's priced from just $149 and can be checked out here https://booster.io/ I can tell you that it includes over 200 original features. A plugin that was built with performance in mind, which is why it will never slow down your site. |
