WordPress for Creators
On the side:
One of our favourite topics within the subject of web design and development, is the use of website page builders. These exist both as online solutions, such as the impressive Webflow, Webydo and Semplice, or as a suite of WordPress plugins and themes.
But what is it that makes these drag and drop web page builders such a game-changer in the way that web pages are built using WordPress?
Whilst there are many less fussy website and content creation platforms available. WordPress has long been a first choice for both independent creators and teams.
For many creators WordPress may seem a little like taking the “space shuttle to the corner shop.” However, in truth WordPress can be as simple, or as complex as you need.
It used to be that WordPress was a little rigid and like working in the dark, especially where it came to creating custom page and blog post layouts. In fact, creating your own custom page, or even Landing page layouts was certainly something for someone with programming skills, and not the typical graphic designer or creator in general. That was a good while ago.
Hand Cranking Your WordPress Vehicle
Nowadays, things have taken that predictable turn where technology filters away the fluff and repetitive stuff and leaves us with simple methods for completing what would otherwise be very intricate and time-consuming tasks.
It’s a little like the motor vehicle that started by cranking or winding the mechanism that allowed the vehicle to move. Today the task is easier, just turn your key and you’re basically driving. And who knows, it may get even easier (wink, wink).
What Makes WordPress the Better Choice?
As expressed earlier, WordPress is as complex, or as simple, as you want. However, sometimes we don’t always know what we want until we experience it ourselves, or see it in action. Which is why in my opinion the popular free WordPress Visual Page Builder, Elementor has provided a great service in introducing the World to alternative methods of building custom websites. You can download the lite version of the plugin and truly experience, whilst learning of course, just how flexible and convenient WordPress really is.
