Relax, don’t go, I’m just kidding, come on don’t be upset I’m just kidding.
Let’s be serious a minute, whether Laravel or WordPress or any other framework or programming language first of all its very important to know if the pros and cons matches what you want to achieve. The best way to learn in programming is by creating.
Read my article on How I Started My Journey with WordPress.
What is WordPress?
WordPress is a popular open-source Content Management System (CMS) that is currently the world’s most widely used website builder, with a market share of over 40%. In other words, more than 40% of websites on the internet use WordPress to manage their content. This percentage is continually growing with each passing day.
What is Laravel?
Laravel is an open-source PHP framework that is designed to make web application development easier and faster. It provides developers with built-in tools to speed up the development process and reduce errors.
Any Difference?
Yes, WordPress is a platform designed for building websites, whereas Laravel is a framework used for designing web applications. WordPress users do not need any coding knowledge (I am talking about WordPress developers I’m talking about normal users, mister everyone), while Laravel requires coding expertise.
Furthermore, both platforms have their own unique features that set them apart. Let’s take a closer look at each platform’s specific strengths and limitations.
My Advice
Let me make it very simple, if you want to focus on only websites, Learn WordPress,WordPress is its ease of use. It comes with a simple and intuitive interface, making it easy for even non-technical users to create and manage websites. On the other hand, if you’re looking to build a complex web application, Laravel is the better option. Its modular architecture, ORM, and built-in authentication features can help you build scalable and secure web applications.
Don’ot hesitate to learn both if you can, they are both easier to learn and they both have a huge online community that will help you.
In conclusion, there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to web development. The choice between WordPress and Laravel ultimately depends on your project requirements, your skillset, and your personal preferences.
