I thought, what if I could only let them write content about their own business, I mean that’s the single thing I can’t do for them even if they want to pay me for maintaining their websites every month as a service. It’s not their core business, especially when you create sites for so many ‘smaller’ companies that can’t hire social media and marketing people and whatnot but they are also very business doing their thing. It’s all fine but after a few months you can see they lose focus and all sites become out of date because they simply don’t like to do it. They all start very promising the first few months, asking a lot of questions about how Yoast SEO works, what to do here and there. Thinking even further along the road, I’ve been creating WordPress sites for so many years because I thought every person in the world could work with a CMS like WordPress, it’s easy to use, “so easy even a caveman can use it”, right? When you can handle Facebook or Twitter you can work with WP backend right? Result is, the people I create websites for, generally don’t want to create posts and pages or maintain their sites by change slideshows, options and the hole shebang. Lovely and kinda easy to install, plus everything is very frontend development heavy, something I like a lot. md files with some Frontmatter in apps like iA Writer and dropping them into a folder while Jekyll creates a page or post based of that simple txt file. To be honest the idea is great and I really like the workflow of writing plain. Since september I tried a to play a little with Static Site generator Jekyll. And of course, WordPress also does a lot of things very very good. I’m a follower on CSS-Tricks for so long now and because it’s 2018 I think it’s time for a fresh start or better said critical look at my own workflow.įor almost 10 years I have been building sites with WordPress, I really loved it for so many years until the last few years but switching felt like wearing your shoes on the wrong foot because you got so used to it.
