WP can be used as a ‘basic’ CMS.. Joomla IS a CMS.

I don’t think either/or is bad though… as I mentioned in the forum, Joomla’s another option.. it can do everything that Wordpress can do and a whole lot more.

You just have to know your long term objectives with your site and what type of look and feel you want.. what functionality you want now or to build in the future. How scalable do you need or want your site to be?

Travis, it’s very likely that’s the direction I’m going to be taking Ezy… part of the reason I posted this to get some feedback in that dept to see if my gut is right..

I don’t think I’m phasing out the HTML/CSS/PHP training.. I think it’s important even if you are developing sites with dynamic solutions. Even just learning the basics will help you out tremendously. It’s not always the best use of your time and money to outsource every little tweak.

Even though I use and build sites with Wordpress, Joomla and even osCommerce, I still find I need to know how to code with HTML, CSS and PHP to really have more flexibility with my design etc..

But I think I will seek out tutorials and materials.. and create tutorials and materials.. for Wordpress and Joomla.. maybe other CMS etc, but I do want to have a focus mostly on those 2. And those 2 are a couple of the more popular solutions that I have personally the most experience working with.

I appreciate both your feedback! Thanks for taking the time!

Good post…and I agree with you 100%. I’ll be honest with you, as a all-inclusive customer of your’s, I NEVER use the Ezy Websites stuff. I haven’t even logged into it. Why? Because I use WordPress for everything and I think HTML builders and templates are archaic and too static. Sure they’re good for building landing pages and the like, but I can even do that with WordPress!

I hope someday you turn Ezy Websites into a WordPress template/how to site and can the old-school HTML stuff.

Support and Template, Scripts available everywhere for free is the main consideration for everyone who’d start a site or blog.

I’ve tried to build a plain website using some free HTML builder, a plain HTML webpage. It was really pain and time wasting.

Joomla?Hmm…. I am not really sure about Joomla.
It seems great, many people have rave about it everywhere.

I once consider to use Joomla for my blog, but I changed my mind after few minutes trying to get ‘the feel’ of the interface.

There are so many buttons and options! I wonder where i should started with

On the other side, WP is very easy to understand. The interface are great, I just spend few minutes to find a way to post my first post. ( No, It’s not the hello world, lol)

Anyway, I’ll see try and get my hand dirty with Joomla someday.

Thanks for the insight!
