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
