Hi! I am hoping that anyone might be able to help me with some questions about web developing in general and using html and css. I can't seem to find any simple answers and it's driving me crazy! I have just learnt the basics of HTML, CSS and Javascript. I can build basic sites from scratch.
Everyone I have spoke to or everything I read online pretty much says they don't build from scratch anymore and most things are doing on cms systems like wordpress. I have downloaded wordpress locally hoping to get in some practise sites. I have watched a 2 hour tutorial on building a wordpress site but the video was just adding in elements and editing them there was no coding etc. I don't know if I am missing something but how does my HTML and CSS skills come in handy when there is no coding to be done? I haven't actually got stuck in with building a site yet but I feel like why would you get paid to do that when anyone can just go on and move things around etc .. or have I just wasted 2 hours watching the wrong sort of tutorial. I feel really lost with what my next moves are ... I don't know where to put my newly learnt code skill into practise and I also want to do practise pieces so I can start putting together a portfolio site.
Thank you so much for reading my complaining :'D
