WIX vs Wordpress

Help! I’m creating a website for my personal chef business. I registered my LLC with Legal Zoom and they referred me to WIX for website creation. But I’ve been doing some research and I’m seeing comments that say WIX is not ideal and that Wordpress is better. I haven’t bought a domain name or anything so I still have options. I’ve heard WIX is not good for Google searches. Is Wordpress any better? A personal chef business is a small business so I don’t need anything super complicated but I do want it to be a good website. Does anyone have any advice?

Are there sites that provide layout exercises? Working to sharpen CSS skills.

Hi r/WebDevBuddies,

I'm getting back into web dev, and my CSS skills need some work. I'm looking to keep emulating some different things, but some things I encounter are too hard.

So, I'm looking for platforms that might have varying levels of layout practice.

Looking to work with just HTML+CSS at the moment to sharpen them.

Thanks!

UI Designer Looking to Collaborate with Developers 🚀

Hey,
 
I’m Marcus, a UI designer with 8 years of experience specializing in clean, user-friendly designs for web and mobile. I’m looking to team up with developers on projects where we can combine skills for portfolio projects or maybe even a startup idea.
 
At the moment I’m unemployed. My last job was about 18 months ago but I got pretty severe burnout. I only recently got back into designing and while I’m looking for work I’d love to work on some cool projects to beef up my portfolio and ease myself back into client work.
 
If you’re working on an app, website, or idea that needs better UI/UX, let’s work on it together! Reach out to my via my portfolio, comment or DM me with your project.
 
Here’s my recently redesigned portfolio,
https://designbymarcus.com
 
As a side note, I'm currently learning web development but I'm right at the beginning and learning the basics of Javascript.
 
Thanks for reading

My website won’t scroll

I created a website, and after making it live, I encountered an issue where the page only scrolls down if you start scrolling from the bottom of the page. The initial part of the page, including the top section, does not respond to scrolling. I have used the Owl Carousel to display an image at the top, followed by the rest of the content. However, when I try to scroll from the image, it doesn’t work, but scrolling from the lower part of the page works fine.

Fully open-source, so feel free to customize and add your spin on it! 🎉

Create LMS platform for online courses

I am currently working on an LMS platform for online courses. After doing some research on the internet, I found several videos explaining how to use an extension called "Tutor LMS" with wordpress, It seems like a very good and simple solution for people who don't have a background in web programming.

However, this extension doesn't suit my needs. While the platform is designed to offer courses, they are not pre-recorded videos. Instead, I plan to organize live sessions on Meet or Zoom. The goal of the platform is for students to select a course and, on the course description page, find a "Reserve a Session" button with a calendar showing available times.

Another important aspect is the payment method. I don't want a "Buy" button that redirects users to a payment page. Instead, I prefer a WhatsApp button that starts a chat with me, allowing us to negotiate directly.

Is it possible to achieve this with no-code tools, or would I need to resort to programming? If programming is required, what languages or frameworks would I need to use to implement this?

React revisit

Hello, fellow devs! I had learned React, made notes on it, and even completed a project with the help of a tutorial. However, I later moved on to backend development.

Now, when I revisited my notes and the project's code, I found that I don't understand much of it and have forgotten the syntax.

Should I watch a one-shot tutorial on React, or should I try making projects to relearn the syntax and concepts?

Please guide me.

Looking for devs to build e-commerce

Hi Everyone !

Warning : I'm not a web dev at all and know absolutely nothing about this field, so please bear with me on this :,)...

I work for a small family business (furniture manufacturers) and I recently made them a small website using Wordpress and elementor, only used as a showcase for the brand showing our products contact details etc...

I'm now looking into making an e-commerce so they can sell their products online. I need a developer to make a shopify or woo commerce website so I posted a job on LinkedIn and then I got lost trying to choose the right person....

My questions are :

  1. Can I hire only ONE person full time to do the website and then keep maintaining it or do I need more ? If that person leaves am I screwed and will there be any security issues?
  2. And most importantly, I see a lot of developers have experience in Java, HTML, etc.. but no one has experience in working Wordpress and/or shopify. Is this normal ? how do people usually build e-commerce websites? :,)

Thanks in advance for your time and sorry for my ignorance about this lol

Novice seeking advice.

want to preface with saying I am EXTREMELY novice when it comes to this so please be nice… lol

I’m working on an inherited website with my boyfriend. It’s been up for years but recently got worked on further. We’ve ran into a problem (now this is where it may sound stupid af) where anytime you search the website in Safari or Edge it says “Your connection isn’t private”. The Edge browser error actually says “Cert Common Name Invalid”.

Obviously I have no idea where to even begin on this. I know this site is connected to Wordpress & GoDaddy. I’m assuming Wordpress is for web design/domain and GoDaddy is for privacy/security purposes? I do know one of the certificates is administered through “Starfield Secure Certificate Authority” which from what I’ve read is a part of GoDaddy?

I ran a test through a free website and a few things stuck out to me. It had a great score, which makes me feel like the problem is hiding in plain site. Again I know absolutely nothing about this but this is what I’ve come up with…

  1. Is my certificate just simply not compatible with all browsers? Is this even possible?
  2. Is it my certificate “Common Name” and “Alternate Name” mismatch the issue? If so, how do I fix this?
  3. Both? Neither?

Any advice/help would be appreciated.

Transfer Site off of Wix

As a kid, I built a site on Wix many years back. Now I want to make it more official/professional in a cost effective manner. I know how to get a domain name, but getting rid of the 'made with wix' banner on the site is very expensive. What would be the best way to transfer off of wix? I have some real webdev experience now, but not experienced enough for very complex tasks.

Please let me know if this is unclear, happy to clarify.

Best AI & Development Tools for a Student Developer

Hello,
I’m a student web developer currently working on my own project and exploring tools that might help me learn faster and build more efficiently. I’m considering paid AI tools like Claude AI, ChatGPT, or GitHub Copilot, but I’m unsure which would actually be worth the investment for someone still studying.

And if paid subscriptions aren’t necessary, are there any other AI tools, free resources, or general development tools that would help make my learning and development journey smoother? I’d love any recommendations on tools that would provide the most value without breaking the bank.

Building a Custom CMS for My Project as a Student—Where Do I Start?

Hey everyone,

I'm currently a student at a coding bootcamp, and I'm planning to build a Content Management System (CMS) for my project. My instructor suggested that instead of using an existing CMS like WordPress or Strapi, it would be better to build one from scratch for the experience and hands-on practice. I'm unsure about where to start and how to go about it.

Here are a few questions I have:

  • Should I look at dashboards from CMS platforms like Strapi or WordPress for inspiration?
  • What are some good resources or tutorials for building a CMS from scratch? Do you recommend any specific videos, articles, or guides?
  • What are the core features I should focus on as a beginner?

Seeking Talented UX-Focused Web Designers for SEO Collaboration

Hello beautiful people,

I’m an SEO expert with 8 years of experience, mostly working with e-commerce clients worldwide. It’s been quite a journey, from the ups and downs of SEO to the recent challenges with AI-generated content crowding search results. Thankfully, search engines have stepped up to prioritize quality again, and I’m thrilled to see genuine, thoughtful content rewarded.

One thing I’ve learned: great SEO is only as effective as the user experience behind it. Custom, user-centered design consistently boosts engagement and conversion rates—and even helps sites outrank more established competitors. That’s why I’m here, hoping to connect with talented web designers (freelancers or small teams) who create bespoke, intuitive, and visually stunning websites without relying on stock templates.

If you’re a designer with clients who could benefit from strategic SEO support to complement their beautiful UX, I’d love to chat. Let’s help brands stand out with the perfect balance of impactful SEO and engaging design.

Thank you and have an amazing day, week and life

I need your advice

I have recently started my web dev journey and chose The Odin Project to build good foundation. I'm not a tech savvy so I don't know my way around softwares and all. TOP requires us to work with linux/MacOS with chrome and vscode. So I got a windows laptop and downloaded linux through vmware . I'm having a hard time working around it. I tried to download chrome with gpt's advice for hours and no luck. It's really demotivating. Like it's already been a week and I skipped over all the command and git lessons because I couldn't apply the content on windowsOS. Should I spend more time on linuxOS or should I just move onn and continue working on windows?

Need Help for building a Wallet App

Hello Redditors,

We're developing an affiliate platform that facilitates payments between companies and agents. A key feature we’re aiming to add is an in-app wallet system to allow agents and companies to manage funds directly within our platform—deposit, withdraw, track balances, and more.

Currently, we’re using Stripe for payment processing but want to avoid Stripe Connect due to its additional setup requirements. We’re looking for a detailed step-by-step process to implement this wallet functionality, as well as guidance on verifying both agents and companies for secure transactions.

Has anyone here successfully created a similar wallet solution or has insights into best practices for building this feature without Stripe Connect? Any advice on handling verification and managing transactions would be greatly appreciated!

Seeking Feedback on My Business Idea: Nesture – A Blockchain Wallet & Decentralized Identity Platform

I’m working on a project called Nesture, a blockchain wallet and decentralized identity verification app designed to give users control over their digital identity while making transactions secure and efficient. I wanted to get your input and any suggestions from this community.

Here’s the concept:

  1. Self-Sovereign Identity: Users fully control their digital identity, with biometric verification for extra security.
  2. Blockchain Wallet Integration: A secure wallet for transactions that prioritizes privacy and data control.
  3. Smart Contracts & Compliance: Built-in regulatory compliance to make it versatile across industries like finance, healthcare, e-commerce, etc.
  4. Affordable & Accessible: My goal is to reach the average person with a simple interface and a $5 pricing plan.

I envision Nesture not just as an app but as a platform to empower people globally with secure identity and transaction tools.
