Hey guys, I started learning HTML and CSS because I wanted to create my own website.
Now, a friend of mine suggested that this was unnecessary and that I could easily create a website using WordPress. But is that really the case? Is WordPress actually better than HTML and CSS? Please help.

Ave!
WordPress is nothing more than a simple CMS (Content Management System), which allows the layman to quickly bring a website without any expert knowledge online.
You are strongly limited and many special features (themes) hide behind monthly payments or the chosen theme as a whole comes with a monthly price.
If you write a website yourself, this – except for server costs – is naturally free from any cost. To do this, it is possible to perfectly adapt the design to your own taste and to incorporate special features.
This way is naturally associated with a lot of work – a website for a medium-sized company can cost 5000€ at professionals.
When you enter the area as a complete newcomer, do not expect too much and learn the basics!
You will not reinvent pages like Facebook in half a year.
Personally, I would always write my own page and not use construction boxes – just because of the unique feature.
There are WordPress in two “tastes.” Once as a pure online service with paid components, where hosting also takes place through WordPress, as well as WordPress as a classic CMS, where no costs are incurred, except for the package with your own hosting provider.
The same is also possible with WordPress if you host the CMS on your own webspace and not just use its service. More than that, the frontend can be implemented and operated separately from WordPress. The WordPress own REST API is then used to load the content.
How do you get to €5,000 or just listen to a lot? 🤔
WordPress is not just a building block, but a relatively flexible system that can be used for very different purposes. It is in total just a tool of many and if you set it right, you do not look at the frontend that the content is managed with/through WordPress.
LG and beautiful weekend

I’ll let go of effluents, as my answer should be simple anyway.
If that’s a lot for you, then you seem to receive or create the wrong offers. I have already created websites at such prices.
The question was simply playing with wp to install a theme and thus to have a full-fledged website.
Laien may not, no.
I remain with my statement: WordPress is and remains limited.
Personally, I created a single wordpress theme in my career and find it anything but “useful”. It is inperformant garbage, where a new vulnerability is created every month thanks to PHP.
I’m staying with React and Next.js.
A differentiation between different products is not over-liquid and it does not make it easier to express flat-rate claims that are only true on one of the two offers.
I must have expressed myself in a misunderstanding and should have noted that “many” meant the view of a layman. For me, it is by no means much and your mentioned 5,000 € rather than little understand.
Your previous statement was another one, but with this I can go d’accord. I am also not a big fan of WordPress and move more in the field Vue/Nuxt, Angular, Python (Django) and Firebase.
If you can use the basics of HTML and CSS, CMS systems like WordPress are a good thing to significantly simplify the creation and management of the pages.
You can’t say that WordPress is good or bad, as there are many ways to use it.
Get a finished theme. Although it is usually faster to create, it has significantly fewer possibilities for individualization.
Buy a pagebuilder and you can create the pages with a graphical interface and still let your HTML/CSS knowledge flow in.
Or you’ll create a theme completely yourself and use a boiler plate as a base.
CSS and HTML basic knowledge never hurts!
There are many different ways to design and create web pages, from so-called building boxes (Wix, SquareSpace and others) to more complex content management systems (CMS), such as WordPress, Drupal, Typo3 or Joomla, semi-professional editors such as WebFlow and technolgic stacks such as Eleventy to classic handwork in file manager and text editor.
WordPress and CSS is a helpful combination, even though a lot of WordPress is now possible without code, see my more detailed answer to Etrims question:
I only saw your question now, I hope you haven’t given up yet and wish you a lot of success!
WordPress is neither better nor worse than HTML and CSS, but only another “technology” that allows the actual content to be managed relatively. When learning itself is in the foreground, I would first remain in the implementation of static websites. On the other hand, if you’re just talking about a quick result, a system like WordPress can be helpful.
WordPress itself was written in PHP, among others, and in operation only gives HTML to the site visitor. The design of the elements is made with CSS. In WordPress, these styles are managed as their own theme. Such can be easily installed or developed. Depending on what you want and bring your own knowledge.
Hi,
I have to write the WordPress pages of HTML and CSS. It is good to learn HTML and CSS to understand how websites are built or to make changes to them. Your acquaintance probably uses a so-called page builder. This allows you to create websites. But even there it is possible to add your own HTML and CSS to adapt the theme even better to your needs.
I can only recommend you to learn HTML and CSS. This can be learned relatively easily and there are numerous tutorials on the net, such as SelfHTML https://wiki.selfhtml.org/wiki/SELFHTML
These are two completely different abstraction levels. WordPress uses CSS. To use WordPress well, it is good to know what CSS does.
If you do professional websites, you will also have to deal with CMS and similar tools. Everything else needs too much time.
The answer is, you both need something. I would start with WordPress and then see how much CSS I need to know.
Page Crafting is WordPress ok
For professionals who also rank well on the internet with Google WordPress is less suitable.
WordPress has too many traps and is not very optimised for the internet just to make a simple page
Gerd, this is a point of view and is very important to the themes and plugins used! I know sites that get 100/100 points at Page Speed Insights, including SEO Best Practice and Accessibility, and I don’t talk about such completely without pictures. I also know agencies working exclusively with WordPress. But I understand your argument and would not recommend WordPress in many cases.
Not a point of view but how you noticed correctly depends on plugins
Of course you can also write good site if you have real idea ws you do
And pictures are of course very important for SEO
HIER but unfortunately many big mistakes
Unfortunately, also results from agencies are not always good.
Especially when web designers mean to create websites 🤦
The pleasure that you know good and bad page of WordPress and not randomly click
