Our new Wordpress site

Our new website is finally here at www.cybercreations.co.za

After months and months of planning and discussions we eventually decided on the Wordpress platform for our CMS (content management system). The reasons we used Wordpress will be discussed in a separate blog. Our personal website first in 2003 were developed in html, whereafter in 2003 we changed over to Joomla and now it is Wordpress.

Joomla was according to me the best CMS system at that time but nothing lasts forever. It seems that Wordpress has caught up on Joomla and has actually overtaken it by miles. The fact that Wordpress has such a simple to learn userface makes it such a pleasure to work with.

Novice or expert designers should take advantage of this platform because a website can now be completed in hours with the drag and place option. I've discovered this new plugin called Elementor which changed the way I look at web design.

Elementor is a drag and drop builder. Once you create a page in the dashboard you have the option to select either the Wordpress editor or the Elementor page builder.

Selecting Elementor opens up the possibility for millions of different layout options per page.You can decide between the various pre-designed layouts or you can design your own layout. Designing your own layout can be tricky in the beginning but can be mastered quickly. I suggest you rather start with the pre-designed layouts just to familiarize yourself on how it works.

Go have a look at what we did with our own website and tell me what you think...
