Do I Need to Learn Coding to Use WordPress?
If youβve ever thought, βI want to build websites, but Iβm not techyβ – youβre not alone.
The good news? You do NOT need to learn code to use WordPress. In fact, many designers I work with (including myself for 13+ years!) are creating beautiful, high-converting websites with zero coding knowledge.
No-Code Web Design Is Totally Doable
When I started, I didnβt know how to code either. I felt like a fraud – trying to build websites without βrealβ developer skills. But then I discovered the tools that changed everything!
With the right theme and plugins, you can build almost anything: shops, blogs, portfolios, service sites… all with drag-and-drop builders and visual editors.
You donβt need to touch a single line of code if you donβt want to.
How WordPress Makes It Easy
I teach my students to use tools like Divi and Elementor (there are others too!) that work with WordPress and make the design process feel like using Canva – click, drag, edit.
WordPress powers over 40% of the internet. Itβs not just for tech pros, itβs for creative people like you who want control and flexibility without needing a degree in computer science.
You can read more about WordPress, and my answer to the very common question: “is WordPress easy to learn?” here in my blog.
But What If I Want to Learn Code Later?
Thatβs the best part. You can start without code and grow into it later, if you ever want to. WordPress is scalable – from complete beginner to advanced dev, all in one platform.
