Greetings All, Years ago I created various sites using Dreamweaver and just uploading via FTP - I'm not an expert in coding but I was capable in other areas like graphics and had enough knowledge to be able to add JS and PHP to the .html files. Now after a few years of being away from making sites I find that Dreamweaver has kind of run it's course, and I'm not going to pay tons of money for the Dreamweaver CC, although by all accounts it's not so good now either. I'd rather create sites as I've done in the past using some kind of WYSIWYG editor so I can actually not spend hours of my time trying to get my head around WP sites and the 'blocks' which personally I really hate and I hate the lack of flexibility. I do think WP stores aren't too bad, although only got the Phoenix software to work ok and not that much of a fan of Woo Commerce - so after a long winded rant could someone please offer some advice how I might get back to creating sites as I used to , to some extent , or do I just accept that I need to lock myself away and have to learn to use the builders in WP? Thanks in advance.
