What is your advice as a sites developer for beginners is it to learn to make sites with wordpress or to learn HTML , CSS and Bootstrap first ?

what I really mean by making website with WordPress is just to learn how to write post and pages and add menu , and understand what is widget , plugins and layout of any site

to make any website with WordPress you don't need to be a developer , you may be just regular user to make website using wordpress all you just need to sign in wordpress.com and start make a website after you choose a free theme for your site , wordpress theme is just a template designed and programed or developed under free licence GPL , to choose a right theme just find top rated and most pupolar themes at wordpress.org  ,  for more information for beginners go to this linkthen learn html css bootstrap

 

wordpress.org themes

First, You must learn HTML and CSS, these are the basic thinks to develop a site. Learn clearly the basic things like

( div, id,  margin, padding,  position, background, float etc.....)

After that, you go either Wordpress or Bootstrap. Bootstrap is simple and easy to mobile responsive and then go to WordPress ...

Paid subscription but worth every penny: codeschool.com (They have free course to try out first).

After you learn the basics, I find googling what you need is very helpful. Especially finding similar questions and issues as yours in stackoverflow.com.

actually i would recommend one to try html and css as a beginner because it gives one detailed guidlines on how one should simply create a website from scratch and its step by step.

Wordpress is good but not advisable for someone who wants to dig in deep in web designing.

for beginner you should learn firstly HTML then CSS and Javascript

HTML (essential structure  it is the basis which build on it).

CSS (for page design, how page look).

JS (page behavior, build interactive page).

after that it is easy to understand JQuery and Bootstrap.

When developing a website we have to understand the basis of each methods of building a website (wordpress / HTML). Simply put, wordpress is the best choice for beginners to build their own website. There are thousands of wordpress templates which you can choose from. Also these websites tends to be more stable because of the reliability of their servers. However, should you become a much more experienced website developer, you might want to consider using HTML. This is mainly because of the flexibility of coding which will allows you to personalize every inch of the website which suits the best look and feel that you've wanted.

I think learning HTML CSS & Bootstrap is essential even for the developers who want to make wordpress sites, because they may be required to make changes to the templates or try to create the modules/plugins/extensions of the CMSs. in fact if you want to develop in WordPress you still need the HTML, CSS, JavaScript and/or PHP. While one can make a decent site using pre-existing templates, you really need to get into the code to customize things to serve your needs.

Learn HTML and CSS first these are the basics and the building blocks of pretty much every website

 

right after you master css and HTMl and it becomes second nature (which should not take too long2 hours of practice a day keeps ugly code away) move onto wordpress; the thing is with wordpress you will still be using CSS and HTML (although to a lesser extent) you will be able to "supercharge" your website development and websites will become a breeze with plugins and themes you can buy or download for free.

 

 

good luck!
