Haha uncle Steff reading my mind again?! This video was exactly what I needed these days since I'm working on my first web project. And it happens to be a big one.
I have used free templates as the starting point for a number of websites I have built and it has worked well. My thought is there is no need to reinvent the wheel.
I m building all the time themes and plugins for my WordPress projects. most of the time I m using some ready html templates and I m converting them to WordPress thems (Classic, Block themes and hybrid) it's not something so much difficult. in case that you want tobhave the option change the styles you are building settings for the theme customiszer or you can build blocks for FSE. At the end of the day you ve got a flexible result that when your customer ask you for a change you can do it just with few clicks and you will be well paid for it
As a wise man once said, don't reinvent the wheel! If someone else has already done it, use it! Exception of that rule is the learning curve to understand that tool and your time frame of needing to have the job done.
if we don't reinvent the wheel from time to time, we would still be stuck with rock wheels ;). the best advice is, the use right tool for the job, just watch the video
@@nikola.yanchev So a beginner is going to invent a new and better wheel? Doubtful! Just stick with what's already available atleast until you have a really good understanding of the tools and can understand what is missing or what could be better.
Sometimes, existing solutions don't perfectly fix the problem at hand. Reinventing the wheel allows for customization and adaptation to specific needs and circumstances that off-the-shelf solutions may not address adequately. Additionally, reinventing the wheel fosters innovation and progress. If people in the past hadn't reinvented the wheel, and the first wheel designed by humans were primitive, we would still be using rocky and wooden wheels in boats, cars, and planes today. In the case of web design or development, It's not akin to traditional work, rather, It's a creative endeavor where diverse solutions are crafted to meet the unique needs of different clients. Countless templates are available online, but those are not good and don't always satisfy the needs of clients in many cases. In a professional context, building a website from scratch promote greater uniqueness and tailored solutions.

Damn the quality of this video is amazing. Long time subscriber first relevant video for me.
Build a project and debug. Simple stuff. I like it. Always the KISS method.

Well said
Great advice, will check out your boot camp!
My experience with templates isn't the best. I ended up spending more time than I saved.
This happens a lot! I tended to use very lightweight templates to build off of. Or, if I used a more elaborate template, I will not make many changes.

How do you do this?
unbiased sources!🙂
5:42 However the common Man survives but how?
i would send a blueprint first see what the client likes and go from there

@@driversteve9345 if he has the time and the project is not too big, it's the perfect opportunity to experiment and learn.

Hey steff, what do you think about Trongate PHP?
Haven't used it.
August 2024, the job market is tighter
Excellent video :)
I've never been the first in my life 😮
You were the first wiggly guy to reach the egg!
Thanks for the insights! What about for my portfolios' sake? Would that mean I should build from scratch?
From scratch means you build it from the ground up.
@@StefanMischook Yep, got that! Just curious if it is wrong to use templates for projects you would like to put in your portfolio.
👍
Uncle steff please give me a job
