Hi all,
I've been building sites on WP with elementor + the like for clients quite successfully for a few months now, and have recently decided to learn full stack development so I can work on bigger projects. As you can imagine I have a long way to go yet, but I have enough knowledge to make good looking, and responsive pages using what I've learnt about HTML and CSS. I find it much easier and less frustrating than having to wrestle with WP themes and settings, but I'm nowwhere near being able to write my own functionality into the pages.
My question is; is there a way to build all my site pages by hand, but upload the HTML/ CSS to a domain where wordpress is installed, so I can benefit from being able to use plugins available within wordpress? For example I've had 2 projects this year where the clients had an online course and needed to be able to upload content themselves, track user progress etc which would have been impossilbe for me to do at this stage had I not been able to implement a plugin to my site. Is it as simple as installing WP onto a domain, then just uploading the pages via the file manager on a hosting account?
thanks for taking the time to read this,
Grant
