Is web design and web development only for professionals? Can a regular person create his / her own website without special skills? And if yes how exactly this can be done?
Some people think that website design and development is only for chosen ones. You have to learn designing, coding, programming languages to create the site for yourself. So other words you cannot do that. Here at ThemeREX Studio we think that in 2020 it’s just a myth. Here are some things you should know about modern site building.
ThemeREX is a web design and development company since 2012.
It currently has a portfolio of 55,000+ large and small web projects.
ThemeREX created 700+ WordPress Themes and Website Templates.
ThemeREX Group includes: 4 sites, 3 Power Elite Accounts on ThemeForest and CodeCanyon and hundreds of talented web designers and developers.
We have been working with almost all the types of technologies, content management systems from all over the world.
So, ThemeREX team has a precious experience and is happy to share it with others.
1. WordPress is the leaderThere are plenty of frameworks, content management systems (CMS) and platforms for site building. But number one is certainly WordPress. According to W3techs 38.8% of all sites in the world use WordPress. It is 63.6% of the CMS market share. And it grows every month.
This did not happen by accident. WordPress really deserves to be number one in the world. This CMS is modern, convenient and intuitive for users. Also it constantly evolves and is getting better and better. Above all, there are thousands of useful free plugins that extend the site functionality even more.
So, if you decide to build your site we strongly recommend using WordPress as your platform. It is good if you know the basis of CSS, JS, HTML and PHP. But if these letters do not tell you anything it is not a problem. You can handle it without special knowledge.
But what about the design? Should one be a designer to make a website? In the perfect world “yes”, but in 2020 it is not an obligation.
WordPress made a huge update in their version 5.0. They’ve finally added the block editor called Gutenberg. This was a long awaited upgrade. Since 2019 all WordPress users can create their posts much easier than it was in the past.
The other significant improvement in the web design world was the rise of Elementor page builder. It is a free plugin that allows you to create wonderful layouts, sections and blocks.
3. WordPress ThemesAnd the last but not the list is a WordPress Theme. Modern WordPress Themes give your site a nice professional look and add some functionality. Also they provide you with controls that help you to change settings, design and content.
Since 2013 we make professional WordPress Themes. You can find them on our site, ThemeForest, Creative Market, Mojo Marketplace, etc.
We think that modern Internet users should have tools to create their own websites that look like professional projects. We also want other developers to make sure that their themes are convenient and intuitive enough for users of any skill level.
We think that WordPress based sites that are easy to use and manage are the future of web development. Every person that wants to have his/her personal site should be able to do it him/herself. WordPress is very close to the goal.
