Do I Need to Code to Make a Website?
A lot of beginners who want to make their own website, whether it’s to sell products or write blog posts think they need to learn coding to build a website. They either begin the process of trying to learn coding, or spend thousands of dollars upfront hiring a programmer to build a site for them. But is any of this really necessary? The simple answer is no. You do not need to learn coding or hire a programmer to make a website. All you need is CMS.
What is CMS?
Many websites nowadays are built with a content management system (CMS). A CMS removes the need to code by providing a visual interface where novices can simply drag and drop elements like text, pictures, or videos. You can create responsive websites cheaply, quickly, and professionally in a ver short matter of time.
Types of CMS
The two most popular types of CMS are Shopify and WordPress. Shopify is known for its strong e-commerce ability. Most small business owners can get a website up quickly to sell products using Shopifys strong drag and drop software and pre-built plugins like payment processing, inventory tracking, and more.
WordPress is the most common CMS used for blogs. Its very easy to get a blog up and running in a short matter of time using WordPress. While WordPress is very popular, it is more difficult for beginners to use. However, there are themes that can be installed on WordPress that provide drag and drop capabilities.
