Got suckered into helping a non-profit with their web presence, and of course, it was a Wordpress site (at least it wasn’t a Facebook page).
Everything about WP is mildly infuriating at best, just regular infuriating at worst. Everything. If you know, you know. It’s like they tried so hard to make it “easy” to use that it went full circle into a fuster-cluck of unintuitive and clunky everything.
With every facet of the experience being an upsell, is there a tier where it’s just not horrible to use?
I fucking hate wordpress. I get assigned a simple task to implement something on some page and find out that the code I need to edit isn’t in a Git repo, but instead it’s in a basic textbox buried somewhere in a page template. The code is stored in a database instead of version control because the people who built the site don’t know any better.
Among other reasons, yes, absolutely. lol
A good theme does not store any code in the db imho
Right. But if the theme is selected by someone who doesn’t work with code, and who builds the rest of the website with drag’n’drop widgets and unmaintained plugins, you’re in for a bad time.
