Hey everyone, I’ve been using WordPress for a very long time, and I code in HTML, CSS, vanilla JS, and PHP and use MySQL. I love WordPress because it gives me something great to work with and customize, without starting from scratch, and is great for a lot of things.
Problem is yeah, I can code. But I can’t design. I can make a fancy card or headerz or navigation, butI can’t make it look good because I’m not really a designer. I can replicate something but can’t really do it from scratch or change colour schemes or see what works together well.
Does anyone know of resources for design, like a book, or blog articles or even example templates, to show do’s and don’t of design, or something like this? Or even their own tips. Trends of 2023/2024? I’ve found too many resources and need more basics. Like font matching, colour scheming.
I use WordPress for a sort of portfolio/author site linking to books (journals and planners) I’ve self published on Amazon. Another site is a blog/tutorial/review/free pattern site for loom knitting, which is 14 years old and monetized. A new one is for my shop (crafts, dice, yarn) I run with my mom, which also has a blog.
I generally use a page builder, Elemetor, free version, witn WordPress, and customize with CSS and JS, as well as PHP if needed.
If you need clarification, just ask. If you want to see what I have, I’ll post some screenshots but I’m horribly embarrassed. TYIA.
