WordPress - site Web Developer, is it worth learning?

I've always done Web sites with Dreamweaver using HTML, CSS and Jquery. If the customer wanted a CMS, I used Pagelime or CushyCMS. I have an e-commerce site, but if I was called to do one, I guess I would have installed Shopify or something similar.

I thought I should learn how to create Web sites customized to my clients powered with Wordpress. My reasoning for this is that it provides a free CMS and shopping cart solution for them, and more who knows what other goodies are available? I guess a plethora of fabulous things that I can put on their Web site very easily, like the pages of discussion forum and newsletter opt-in buttons and other thingies widget magic.

I have a new client who asked a Wordpress site, so now seems to be the time to learn. However, after already spending a whole day trying to get my head around Wordpress and read a few comments on the forums here, I realized it is really not easy! Certainly not the magic carpet ride, he says he is! I think it'll be quite a learning curve for the customer, and may be Cushy is a better option for customers who want just a simple CMS for their corporate Web site.

Do others on the forum of reflection? It's a developer goes to the effort to learn Wordpress? Is there an advantage to my clients? Is there a free shopping cart solution?

WordPress is VERY popular and it won't go away anytime soon.
As far as I know, it's at the top of the list, when people think of CMS.

I absolutely want to know it. He'll be there when others fade.

I was annoyed when I kept hearing "how easy it is" and tried to find out... it could be difficult.
But like anything else, once you get to know, it is not a problem.

I'm not at the level where I could create my own Wordpress theme from the ground up. I am still puzzled many ways to Wordpress.

But I got FAR better with the themes change.

I have about 3 of my own Wordpress sites that I use for wasting his time with.
But they're all real purposes so it forces me to understand.
Why don't you just get your own (self organized - otherwise you will not get full control) and wasting its time with her.

This e-book http://rockablepress.com/books/rockstar-wordpress-designer helped me a lot of him on the face.
If at any time given the book totally lost me. But I'm sure it'll make sense soon.

Bottom line, all the time I've been creating Web sites, customers have asked me a way to do the update.
It all seems like a good thing for your company to learn Wordpress and start offering it.

    I have a question comparing Dreamweaver and Muse.  Can I create a website with Muse, then learn Dreamweaver, and edit the site Web of Muse?  Or would I need to start over with a new Web site based on Dreamweaver?

    I went the same route. I started to want to learn web design and the Muse is an excellent tool. The code it generates, however, not to use it in Dreamweaver. This could be done, I think this isn't worth it, even for a real Geek. Once you get to Muse you will find there are things missing, stuff, you want to do, but are just tough in Muse or you can buy a widget. It is possible in DW and you get which through subscription, so it makes sense. Me what I know now, I'll go directly to DW to learn, except if you want results right now. If you don't want something to cause I stay with Muse and maybe learn to animate CC to add some pizazz to the site. If you only want a simple layout and a couple supporting stick with Muse pages if you want a larger site use DW. Good luck and check out this page to Muse on Google Plus Adobe Muse for beginners - community - Google +...

  • Development of sites Web + programming: optimization of Xcode

    I am currently building my own Web site. So far, I have .html, .cssand .js files. I would like to know what you advice like how to be super effective using Xcode.

    • As the autocompletion for all these file extensions
    • And now, I opened a .html and .css file, they open to two different editors rather than in tabs in a single Publisher. Googling has not helped so far.
    • I'd love to hear some of your favorite features and settings.

    After some googling, I see a large number of users online suggesting other editors as this big question on Stackoverflow. I mainly use Xcode to my Web development. But it is my wish to finally use Xcode widely for some C, C++and Python projects. Here too, I'd appreciate your input.

    I'm all ears to your suggestions.

    Hello pMinimal,

    What is your question? You can certainly use Xcode for the development of Web sites. That's what I've always done. I can't tell if it's a good idea or not. It served my needs in the past, but I don't know if this will be the case in the future. The wide project search tool is very convenient. But the spelling is a problem. And since it's an Apple software locked up like Fort Knox and be redesigned entirely on a quarterly basis, it is impossible to add custom features. I wish I had a spell checker that only looked for text nodes, for example. All I can say is that, as one of the few people who use Xcode for development of Web site, I will follow your link to Stack Overflow, and get some better ideas.

  • Cannot download pictures from adobe site Web Wordpress

    I cannot download adobe stock photos on my wordpress site, which is the goal you need my membership with Adobe Stock.

    I've never had this problem with photos from other sources, including Photo of the Dollar, which has been my source until I was forced to use Adoble Stock.

    The size of the files are below the limit of download so that is not the question.

    Has anyone else had this issue or know what is the solution? I need to resolve this issue as soon as possible because this site is my daily bread and I need a week, fee photos to download.

    Thank you!

    It is probably a file size limit. The standard size for images on a PHP server required for Wordpress is 2 MB. If you use the right of images Adobe stock without downsizing for the web, it will not download to your Wordpress hosting.

    The right of Stock images is a high resolution of 300 dpi and file sizes can be very important. Too much for Web sites without their optimization first. Don't forget your image files are less than 2 MB in file size and it should work fine. Even at 2 mb which is large enough for the web.

    Open your image in an editor of image and at least change the dpi from 300 to 75. At the end of the day, in addition to resize the image to the final display size. But change the dpi from 300 to 75 should solve your problem of Wordpress.

    Unless the site you develop is for the Asian market, I don't know why you want to use that particular font. The Basic, standard and digital alphabet punctuation glyphs has sans serif, Roman characters, but the rest is thousands of Kanji characters. While you can use the font .ttf and .otf and web fonts, it would be very unusual to use one so great. Pages should load quickly and 78 MB, with a value of faces to download for those who have connections slow Internet is not fast.

    I would take a different font without serifs. There are literally thousands who look identical or virtually identical to Yuanti.

    131 free and high quality without font serif to choose here. I'm sure you can find a desired.

  • Firefox not displaying does not changes to the Wordpress site

    I made changes to my style.css files for my wordpress sites. It seems that my changes do not appear on other computers. However on my MAC OS X, the changes do not appear on Firefox.

    Hi Karen,.

    Can you give us a link to your site (if it is not private or protected by a password) to see if we can see if it's reproducible for us.

    You can try the following steps in case of problems with web pages:

    You can reload webpages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)

    Clear the cache and cookies only from Web sites that are causing problems.

  • How to return to the old Web Developer Toolbar?

    I was automatically upgraded to the new Web Developer toolbar, but it has TWO flaws. One is a big problem!
    (1) the search box to change the CSS and the "Close" button is on the right. For as long as I used it, it was on the left. So now, we must all go how we use them.
    (2) (big prob) the function of hierarchical table cells expose them, but unlike the old tool (same year), it also puts to * td * and if it breaks the layout of the site while you try just to see the 'lines' hence are cells.

    Thus, for example: a menu where just the links in shape - they go in all directions, because the ' td who show up, forcing.

  • Move from Mac to? For Web development

    OK guys, I'm about a possible switch. I am a business owner who uses the computer Mac for our work. Lately I've been do want to eventually move from our beloved Macs once to another system. So my questions are the following:

    1 will be wise to switch to Windows if Mac is what we are accustomed to?

    2. Although I used to use Windows computers several years back. The interface is so different now. What is the learning curve that I will face?

    3. If I choose to go with a Dell system, what would be the best for web development and even a certain creation of mobile applications. Please, if possible give me more information on all the options of Dell.

    4. who use Dell for their web development, and why is it a better choice than Macs.

    Every Mac since 2006 run windows natively. (this isn't a PC virtual but rather native windows)

    IOS application development is done on Mac afaikt.  If its android or another platform then mac is not mandatory.

    Its a draw upward as much as that of something because everyone including apple returned to exclusive pieces.

    My personal preference for development and other work is systems Mac Pro from 2006 to 2012 and Dell Precision Systems of the A380 to the 3400 and 3500 Series.  The T3500 being very close to the nelahem 2009 mac pro in the processor and chipset and ram etc.

    For my personal stuff, I use a mac pro 2009 or 2010.

    When my clients ask me what to do, ask them how much money they have.  Then I suggest T3400 or workstations precision T3500 with a specific 960 GTX video card that works very well with BIOS A09 on the T3400.  The reason why I buy used T3400 or T3500 which is so I can spend money more on Ram and disks and windows etc.  There are ways to get a legal copy cheaper Pro 8.X.

    For less than $500, you can have a machine 64-bit windows 8.x EVGA GTX 02 G-P4-2966-KR 960 2 GB 128 - Bit GDDR5 SuperSC ACX 2.0 + video card and 4 GB of ram or more.

    If your mac is at least 2009, it will run windows 8 and probably 10. I have run windows 8 Professional 64 bit on my 2009 Nelahem Mac Pro Tower.

    Wizard Boot camp is free on all Macs.

    Your copy of windows is not.

    The original version of windows is not adapted to a corporate domain environment.

    The original version of windows is $ 109 and the pro version is $ 199.

    Windows 8.1, it is what is now available and windows 10 out July 29, 2015

    You're not giving anything on a mac, you have a dual-boot 2 OS machine.

    The most ironic thing for me it's easier machines on Earth to install windows on a Mac.
