Forgive me devrant for I have sinned... I'm going to use a website builder to design my businesses website...

(No it's not word press, I may be a fool but I at least have standards)

Just for educational purposes, which one? :D

@jonmi well I'm going to go to namecheap for the domain and hosting and apparently it includes a website builder with good API comparability so thought I might give it a whirl!

@lxmcf Ah okay, good luck!

@Jilano *breaks down in tears* it's Dreamweaver!

Trying to imagine the conversation some developers have with clients:

Client: “I want to publish a blog about my products. I’d like to use WordPress because I’ve used it before and I understand how to publish posts that way.”
Developer: “No. Never use WordPress. The code is messy and it’s so important to have purity in code. Pay me to publish each of your posts in my own pure way.”
Client: “....???”

Now, Wix, that I can agree is bad. But WordPress is a compromise we need to learn to live with if we want to be hired, especially as freelancers.

WordPress is usable, WordPress is actively developed, WordPress allows for easy theme- and plugin-creation.

I don't care the code sucks, it is hell of a tool to bring sites up quickly while giving my clients a neat UI to publish their stuff.. Win win!

*voice of old fucker who everybody trusts with no extra reason*

Just use Frontpage, son!

@ananaszjoe geez remember the time before css?

@ananaszjoe just realized that replying to my own comment has no semantic merit to anyone else but me in this UI 😔

@nordlicht I don't deny any of that. It's just a bit too bloated for me
