WordPress or handcode
I have become fairly competent at writing HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and can produce a decent website. Nothing too fancy, but gets the job done. I am a purist at heart and love to code from scratch. No frameworks what so ever. But I feel left behind because I don’t like using WordPress or some other CMS. I just love to build and code from scratch. I feel like my sites don’t compete because they don’t use the most popular frameworks or they aren’t powered by WordPress. I feel like the WordPress site will have better SEO and attract more visitors and that customers just prefer sites built with WordPress even though technically they don’t know what that means. But I love to code and don’t find WordPress development interesting at all. Does anyone else feel this way?
