WordPress vs. HTML

What do you guys usually use to build a website - WordPress or HTML? Why?

 

You are trying to compare a tricycle to a house. HTML is a markup language whereas Wordpress is a content management system.

 

I like HTML cause I like coding.
I don't like any readymate things anymore.

 

You can build a website using both, so that is a choice people have to make. I build some using WP and others using HTML. Not sure what you're getting at.

 

If I were to start a new website, I would go for WordPress. Easy to customize, tons of plug-ins, excellent (peer-based) support. But the truth is, you should go with whatever meets your needs.

 

I think first you need to understand whats is HTML & What is Wordpress.


HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. you cant add , edit delete any thing from your self.

WordPress based on PHP Language tool. so you can add, edit . delete any thing from wordpress admin panel.

 

If I have the time I always prefer to hand code a web site from scratch.

I find you learn much more this way, avoid any unnecessary bloated code and get the design exactly how you like it.

 

Mostly depends what client require. But as per my opinion wordpress website development is best for every website to manage the content, images pages etc. Even non advance user can edit the pages easily.

 

HTML is a basic language to learn web designing and now a days there are many softwares that make everything automated like Dreamweaver but you have to have basic knowledge of html to work with these type of applications.
While wordpress is a ready cms and you just have to install it by manually or by your control panel and walla all go in one click and you are ready to rock and roll and there are many themes and plugins for wordpress to make your work with ease.

 

I love wp and I like to design plugin for wp. Recently, I design one plugin slider for wp. you and see at here. http://wpslider.net.

 

I have knowledge of both and its depends on requirement what we have to use, HTML or wordpress, now these days people wants dynamic website that's why wordpress marketing is growing but HTML is 1st step of website design or development.

 

See Wordpress is good option for creating websites, but if you want to start your career as a designer you should better start with HTML and Dreamwever.

Learn PHP, there is lot's of demand for PHP.

 

Wordpress has a supreme advantage over a straight HTML site when it comes to updates. Not only is it an open-source platform that allows you to use multiple programming languages, so you get all the bells and whistles (HTML, PHP, MySQL, ASP, etc), but it is also user friendly for those who don’t know programming code. One of the great advantages of Wordpress is that because so many people use this universal platform, new plug ins are created almost daily. Instead of reinventing the wheel, find a plug in that does what you are looking for and with a few clicks you’re in business. Plug ins can be used to add social media marketing, SEO tools, display images, improve security, add forms, embed videos, lock out spammers and more. Yes, you can do all of these things with HTML, but you have to write the code and hope you don’t make a mistake in your code throwing the whole code off. Wordpress offers so much, it’s a big platform. This means it takes up a lot of bandwidth. Simple HTML sites tend to take up less space. so my suggestion is Wordpress is good option for website development.

 

Wordpress is content management system that helps you make a website with theme, plugins, upload images, etc. While HTML is hypertext mark up language.

Therefore wordpress is much better compare to HTML.

But it is a matter of choice. If you love building a website in HTML so do it, same thing as wordpress as well.

 

Well, WordPress is a content management system and HTML is a markup language. There would be no functionality.

However, WordPress vs Developing something yourself...well, It all depends on the task. If WordPress can handle it, then I'll use WordPress because it's simple, clean and easy to use. Plus it has great benefits, including solid code, it's secure and efficient, and has ample amounts of plugins and functions.

 

Wordpress uses html. Every website uses html, unless someone has built a site using only javascript by manipulating the DOM. If you are just starting out and want to learn html so you can understand the underlying language of web browsers, then build something in html. If you are looking to do anything for a business, build the site in Wordpress. You get tons of functionality that would take you decades or millions of dollars to develop for free.

 

If your looking to build an e-commerce site I would use either, I would use something like os commerce where it is free to use and there are lots of plugins to customize it how you want.

 

Wordpress is very simple sir.

 

Depends on what type of web site you wish to build. Using software that's pre-made can actually cut down on time to build a project.

 

You can use html in WordPress and use WordPress as CMS.
WordPress Theme is coded with PHP and HTML, which is better than simple HTML. I code both WordPress Theme and HTML site so I know the difference.
Both PHP and HTML power a website or blog with more flexibility.
The main point is how you use WordPress.

2nd point is some guys copy your pure html site. But using PHP you can be saved from such problem.
