I feel that most people that stumble across @Fox ‘s thread about Web Design as a side hustle immediately goes to “learn” HTML and gives up soon after.
learning HTML to build websites (especially for beginners) is really inefficient
The learning curve is pretty high. For someone without any prior knowledge, it takes so much time messing around to even build their first “site”.
( *cough* a template with the title and pictures changed )
To customize it further, you gotta learn CSS which is a whole other beast. it’ll take months to grasp the basics
that doesnt include speed optimization, caching
and the only type of sites you’re able to make are company profiles and one pagers. no ecom
Learn wordpress. Use elementor. In a day a site is done. Create more value in a shorter period of time.
Businesses (SME’s) won’t give a shit if their site is running with html wordpress php or even wix. They need presence. They need customers. Sales.
So better learn the most powerful and efficient tool, ESPECIALLY if you’re just starting out and have no clue. (learn how to setup a wordpress site with elementor)
No disrespect to you @Fox , thank you really. Your threads allowed me to start my journey. Yet, I wish i had spent my time learning other things. Never touching html again.
