Why WordPress is Perfect for Dummies?

In , Brazil won its last World Cup and I had a dream: to have a website that won the former Ibest Internet Award . The funny thing is that I had never developed a website and didn't even have a project in mind or a potential client to create the perfect website. And the worst part, I didn't understand anything about programming but I was sure I would learn how to develop with the famous Dreamweaver through tutorials on the internet. After 2 years, I went in the opposite direction of my dream and decided to enroll in Psychology at Mackenzie. 5 years later, I didn't take any programming classes and studied people and human behavior. In parallel, I discovered tools aimed at website development such as Joomla! and WordPress.

I fell in love with both and changed my field number database continuing in people analysis but now focusing on the world of strategy and digital marketing. When I tell you what my background is, many ask: How can you, as a psychologist, create websites? Simple, I usually say that WordPress is a pre-ready tool for website development . I started my digital life with it, without needing to know the code to include a photo on a page or how to program a form to receive information and send it to an email. It is worth explaining that WordPress is a CMS (Content Manager), free software that has 70% of the online market – or 60 million websites. I popularly explain that a content manager is the same as your computer, in it you can store photos, texts, music.



When you purchase it, it comes with some essential programs for any user, if you need to create a presentation you can install and use the famous Power Point. With this history, I feel comfortable recommending WordPress for laypeople. Here are the reasons: Simplicity I have developed several websites in WordPress and in all cases I trained my client to manage their own website. 100% of those trained considered the system very intuitive . There are very few navigation items in the administration, it is difficult to get lost in it. The handling of Post, Page and Category is the same. You have the items already created and at the top of the page a button to add a new item. And what do programmers do to contribute to the simplicity of the system? Maintain this logic in the plugins developed.
