When & Why of WordPress
Lab: Introduction to WordPress Web Development – Absolute Beginners
Video Runtime: 08:03
In this episode, you will explore the when and why of WordPress. When do you use select WordPress for the client? How about a static site instead? Why would you use a Content Management System (CMS)?
You will look at the website and its intent from the perspective of the site owner. Our job, besides delivering a website that meets our client’s wants and needs, is to make it super easy for the site owner to add, change, and manage content. Far too often we add complexity into the backend to help us do our jobs; however, that complexity is not what the client needs. If anything, the site owner might actually break the site or feel overwhelmed by all of the options. We talk about that in this episode too.
You get WET when you swim. Stay DRY when you code.
