Recently I have worked on sites that were developed in WordPress, only to find that a former developer has hard-coded various elements into the theme!! Why would anyone do that??
WordPress is one of the most user friendly, adaptable and extendible Content Management Systems there is. There is virtually a plugin for anything you want to do in a site. So why would anyone take on a job of building a site in WordPress, then completely disregard the whole premise of the site being easy for the client to manage ongoing.
It’s so frustrating having to root through a themes files looking for code that should have been built into a child theme and therefore be easily accessed when the client asks for some minor changes. What starts off as a simple editing job turns into “hunt the code”.
OK – rant over – I feel better now!
