HTML vs WordPress, which one is better for web design? If you’re a web designer today to be honest you’ll need to know HTML/CSS and WordPress as well as several other skills to be successful.
However there are valid reasons to use HTML or WordPress over the other depending on the situation and what you are trying to accomplish. I prefer for my own business website to prioritize HTML and PHP instead of content management system.
However for a larger website/article based site or magazine or blog obviously WordPress and content management systems are superior. But one of the issues with WordPress is that there are some security risk when using free plugins and widgets. These can also break the look and feel of your website.
If you need to build a website, regardless of whether you are using HTML or WordPress I recommend a few web hosting companies that I use for my sites and sites I’ve worked on with clients:

Iam a frontend web developer, I don't like WP because, self coding is really great and gives us a great satisfaction.
Wp is paid platform and decreases our confidence and makes us lazy.
Be a coder, Code your own future!
I use WP but its kind of complicated compared to HTML CSS, idk what I'm doing sometimes on WP but I know CMS are important especially if you build a clients webpage, and they don't have great computer skills. A lot of people want simplicity and automated services so building custom sites using HTML and CSS are just personal projects for me I guess.
can we use both coding and wordpress in a website creation?
Can we get an update to this? It's 2022 and I'm hoping there is an alternative to WordPress. I'm not a coder so WordPress is a bit of a strain for me.
Well said. I agree. I also use both. For my big site I use wp and always edit the themes around the design. It's really easy to add hml inside of it all.
I'm thinking of learning HTML, CSS, DREAMWEAVER & WORDPRESS to be a web designer. Is it a good idea. !!!!
I use HTML + CSS + Python , I should try to use wordpress
Great advice👌👌👍👍
i am not english native , can you speaking normal , i mean not fast
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! He actually says to use Wix! If you can use Wix then you can use Divi. Elementor, or WPBakery, but save a lot of money in the end. You'll never stop paying for Wix, like ever. Also, if you're just starting out, go with Namecheap, no upsells and they have good uptime and page loading speeds.
I know html even css but not javascript
Hi I am creating html I like to al grade my web to new
I want to promotion vedio
Hi I am interested to build
I use html
My brain hurts from the title. WordPress is html based web design. Honestly this makes no sense. Hand coding vs WordPress would have made sense.
Plus, you have the same amount of controle in WordPress as you have with hand coding, it just has pre built tools and a backend.
What languages and tools would you recommend for build a site similar to Wikipedia, yellow pages, Craigslist and OfferUp? It going to be for a niche sport. Including security, membership 18 and above to access all features while non members can browse, mobile friendly, Process that semi automated as in members register that have to get a video chat with an administration or moderator to verify their account is a real human, Vendors/Sponsors badges are the people getting charge 1 time, monthly, annually fees, post/listing is free(basic info) paid listing/post is more developed and colorful, tracking for traffic what links are being used so I cam provide data to vendor/sponsor that pay upgraded listing.
Please clarify which one is better for optimization
Is it okay using wordpress&woocommerce for a multivendor website for more than 10000 users ?
Very informative 🙂
No matter what is said about WordPress, it is slow in the backend and suffers from bloated code because it was never intended to be for websites. Even to get the simplest things done it depends heavily on plugins. And because of so many abandoned plugins it is the number one attacked cms. WordPress draws a lot of people who do not know how to code, they just buy a template, fill in the client details and sell it as a website. That is why it also draws a lot of clients who only want cheap solutions.
Thanks for your information that it's really helpful for me. =) I'm a beginner that try to use both
Thanks mate !!
i preffer html.
Roberto, I've used both. Huge factor to consider is that WordPress gets updated every week or so, the pluggings as well, the themes, etc. It can become a real nightmare. And if your hosting Co is not good with WordPress you are in for a bad trip.
Thank you for the clarification about all of these things.
I have a question about WORDPRESS, DID YOU MAKE ANY VIDEO ABOUT WORDPRESS?
The second thing is if I learn HTML AND CSS, which language I learn next?
And the last question is, Could you help us some videos about PHP like which language is great SQL SERVER Oracle, MYSQL. Thanks
I Always do my frontend with php lol
WordPress are the best for general common use like e-commerce and doesnt even care what layout outcome. If youre want more advanced and complicated, you have to pay plug-ins. Sometimes doesnt have 1. Thats the limit
Hand coded controls them all, but its slow and needs to learn in depth. And yes its hard to understand what code purpose for
What is ur camera name?
Interesting comments! I am trying to answer that exact question today.
I use wordpress and its awesome
the moment you use wordpress you like 10x slower and less secure
I hate wordpress because I spent a year developing my site and couldn't save it on computer its amaze. And then happened what I was afraid would happen, I forgot to pay hosting.
I use WordPress for portfolio sites and blogs mostly, now I have the task to make online store with hundreds of pages and I wondered if WordPress is better choice than code it from scratch? And if its better to be build on a platform, is there a better platform for online stores than WordPress? What do you think?
I am looking for site performance over everything, what is the best way to go? My website has lots of videos and photos. I am currently using Wix as I have ALOT of pages, and it will continue to grow massively. I went with wix for the easy of design and drag and drop for all the different pages. My idea is….
I have been thinking recently of going HTML, because I can use custom CSS pages for the pages with all the videos and photos on as they all have the exact same lay out, with slight differences such as one page has video and another has video and photo, so I can create a ID for that difference, or a custom set up in a CSS for the specific lay outs. My guess is by doing this i am cutting alot of replicated code which wix might have copied and put on each and every page to get the lay outs. So by having a dedicated CSS for each page layout with a <link rel= …> I can reduce a massive amount of code which increases my site performance? Or do I have that incorrect?
Plugins – custom sites use them, too… a lot!
Is it possible to migrate a WordPress magazine, or blog site to a normal website. And why Stackoverflow doesn't work with WordPress, Youtube nither.
I really liked this video, it clarified many aspects to me. Thanks
You've got a hat like Grand Master Flash 😉
