The SIMPLEST way to build a website?
Hello folks,
I am in the middle of building my personal/professional website, and wanted to know from you guys what could be the simplest and more efficient way to do so.
I got little knowledge of HTML, and I got a background as a graphic designer, so front-end is my go to.
I actually have a draft of my website made on Wordpress with a simple theme called Minimalio, but I want to develop it even further or just starting from scratch with another theme (or service outside WP if it happen to be easier/cheaper.
It will have a simple blog page, a portfolio page (with the possibility to filter by sections), and the usual about, biography and stuff.
Here's some more things so you got the bigger picture
- Freemium themes and plug-ins are a big no. I hate to spend time learning things just to know, later on, that I need to pay to unlock certain stuff
- I always had trouble understanding how themes works, and if I have to pay for a theme or not
- I'd like to have flexibility: there's no problem in investing some time to learn new stuffs if it helps to achieve what I'm aiming for
- I found Wordpress to be relatively cheap. I don't want to add another expensive subscription to my wallet (I got spammed with Webflow and similar).
Any advice is welcome! Even if you think WP is not the right platform.
If something is not clear, just ask and I'll try to elaborate on that :)
Have a nice one!!
TL;DR: I am using WordPress dot org and want to know simple solution to build my portfolio/blog page.
