About learning to be a responsible blogger, devoid of sensational lies maybe.

Watching the video, I see some boring nerdy girl trying too hard to portray the ''interesting' side of her.

Bunch of amateurs!

There are Web Developers...
there are Web Designers...
and there are "Wordpressers"

People who fall in the first category get the job done, people who are in the second are trying to catch up while people in the third should be JAILED!

You are very correct on this...WordPress is an Award winning CMS, one must have a good knowledge of web development ,just knowing WordPress leave you stranded when you want to develop a real enterprise website,even the the free template WordPress offer would not meet your client requirement,and their paid template even gives you limit of pages you can add to your website.There is nothing like do in it the way you want It without limitation...start with sematic mark up .

If you are still billing clients hundreds of thousands simply because you want to code from scratch you are the one to be jailed!

The two people you mentioned don't even have their platforms (websites) running on the WordPress CMS. They were successful because of the term"Monopoly" just like Indomie Noodles.

See why I said you guys should be jailed!

You don't need to code from scratch to develop interactive top-notch websites. All you need is to be familiar with CSS, HTML 5 and PHP. No matter what happens, there will be a need to code one time or the other where plugins fail. Imagine given a job to develop a website like GTB website and you run to WordPress for plugins. Laughable!

It seems like you are not very knowledgeable about the whole thing. In the first place GTBank's website is a simple HTML, CSS and Javascript site. There is no php (or rather very little PHP), and i've just checked the source file.

Secondly, coding in HTML, CSS and PHP is the definition of coding from scratch so i don't know what you are trying to say.

Finally, true wordpress developers are proficient in all four languages (HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP) and then they understand Wordpress. As we speak, over 27% of all websites worldwide are powered by Wordpress, including some of the world's biggest brands. This trend is only set to grow.

So continue mocking things you don't fully understand untill you find yourself snd your skillset (if you haave) completely obsolete.

you are the one to be jailed because you probably just started a web design course and suddenly you think you know your right from your left. Wordpress is by far more professional than and SMF is a very simple software to use. Rather like opening a Facebook group. His point was that complexity is not the true sign of effectiveness.

If a solution works, there is no need to reinvent the wheel.

Let me ask you a question, if you were to floor the compound of your residential home with interlocking stones, will you mold yours or buy from a dealer?



Wordpress is your 'dealer'!

Lol. The guy is still learning how to do ITK (I too know)

if CNN can use wordpress, Airbnb started with WordPress... any startup should use WordPress to launch fast and begin testing its product before wasting your precious money to dubious web developers. who will create one nonsense and Still bill you high.

i think if the design of what i want is available, i buy from dealer and if the design of what i want is complex and not available i mold mine. at least it will be unique

Okay MR Jailer,

1. WordPress powers 27% of the Web, now think about all the platforms used for web development,
2. I understand you don't know, so I will let you know - WordPress is coded in PHP(Advanced), HTML, CSS, Javascript and some other languages
And with your terms "Web designer and Web Developer", I'll use front-end developer and back-end developer instead.
A front-end developer codes in HTML, CSS, Javascript
A back-end developer codes in PHP, Python, Ruby etc.

If you are good in HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP, you are good enough to work and earn money.


3. WordPress has made it so easy so almost anyone can work it, depending on your skill level.
As a beginner, you can customise ready-made themes to get what you want,
As a Front End Developer, you customise, tweak and edit codes in themes to get what you want.
As a Back End Developer, you can create themes, plugins to make development easy for other WordPress Users.

So as a back-end developer, WordPress makes development easier for me, as I don't have to start it all from scratch.


If you don't understand what I just explained, please don't reply

OurworkComNg1:


sir how did you check gtb's website's source code

Lol... you can check any website's source code. Right click on the page and scroll down to "view page source".

wordpress is nice for jobs but I doubt it will be able to create a website as a product or a real complex web app....i use wordpress sometimes, it's nice but I doubt if it will be a able to create an uber like website or a real web app.
And for those people undermining wordpress users, just know it pays their bills so leave them alone, it's not your business ....and for those wordpress users saying do not reinvent the wheel, just know your wordpress won't go beyond websites, it can't build a facebook...However I do recommend a wordpress user should have a decent level of front and back end skills.
If any one pays your bills, whether wp or scratch.... do not undermine the other

Using your analogy, I would rather floor it with Epoxy using customized colors and design. People who come into my compound will be "WOWED" and ask me to get theirs done rather than the regular interlocking stones which is regular and "mass-used".

Epoxy is coding with PHP, lavarel, CSS etc

SmartyPants:

so by doing that, you will know if php was used??


I laugh.

i even thought you were talking about the source code written by Indians for the gtb website.
