After 4 years of getting into the field of digital marketing, then moving into the programming and development part of it, I’ve acquired several skills that now allow me to take an idea into reality.

Starting with WordPress, then learning CSS, then HTML when building custom themes and building HTML websites, then learned JavaScript when having to add interactions on the websites, like carousels, lightboxes, popups, and other actions.

WordPress CMS
Started using a website builder called Uncode, now I build my own custom themes, that are responsive in all mobile devices and major browsers. WordPress makes it easy to organize the content on big websites thanks to their file structure.

JavaScript - Frontend
After building custom websites, there were a lot of things missing, like click actions that opened the mobile menu, popups, lightboxes, and animations. That’s when I really started learning JavaScript to make more interactive websites.

CSS
CSS is what makes websites look pretty, you can add box-shadows, text-shadows, gradients, overlays, different columns, create different layers by adding :before and :after, adding hover effects and organize the whole styling of the website.

HTML
HTML used to control the structure of websites before, but now it’s mostly controlled by CSS classes (Bootstrap most common library). Different elements are used to control the layout, like the difference between <div> and <span> tags.

WordPress Plugins
WordPress plugins help add so much functionality that would take weeks if not months to code from scratch, depending on the complexity. I try to use as few third-party plugins as possible and code everything from scratch, but some plugins are just so useful and complex, that it’s good to learn how to use them.
