Listen Later

This is Eps 3

 

Today is an Intro to WordPress

 

What is WP?

  • A Free open source CMS project used for building websites and blogs
    • Made up of tons of PHP files
    • Highly customizable if you know what you are doing
    • Uses plugins
      • some paid/most have unpaid options

        • Pluses

        • Ease of use
        • FREE
        • open sourced
        • Great for E-commerce
          • don’t need to create your own online store
          • Nice to have a blog incorporated into a website without losing visual continuity
            • explain

              •  

              Minus

              • File heavy
              • can be slow
              • plugins aren’t always kept up to date
              • easy to forget to update WP itself if you don’t have auto update turned on
              • need to rely on WP to be secure vs a custom built site
              • Great platform but boring if you don’t customize

                • Be sure that you are comfortable with HTML & CSS
