Huh?
The out of the box Wordpress is everything one needs to publish things on the internet. Its easy as hell and that's why its 43% of the websites on the planet.
If you BUILT a site, then it means that you did use it for a specific purpose other than just blogging or having a presence on the internet. If that is the case, how did you expect it to happen? Without zero effort on your side? Have you tried doing the same in React or any modern frontend for comparison?
- BehindBlueEyes 3y agoI get it, i had used a half dozen blogging platforms before switching to wordpress in the early 2000s and beyond the ease of creating a new site, the ui felt very crowded with tons of menus I didn’t need or care about initially. Yes it relatively simple and everything one needs but I get it can be intimidating and feel bloated if you just want a simple blog. The menu structure takes some getting used to. It’s easy to forget after using it for a time. I’m back to thinking it is bloated after a decade of using it, but for different (philosophical) reasons now.
