Sure… WordPress makes site building sooo easy, its virtually fill-in-the-blanks –
Pick a theme
Customize it to your desire
Turn your site on the way you’d like
But what if…
What if you actually don’t WANT to use WordPress?
Are you up the proverbial paddle without the creek?
After all, WordPress has slightless less than a bazillion moving parts, and when you add in WP Plugins, you might find yourself eventually being hacked, your site bogging down and more.
But what IF you could actually build a marketing site with… HTML?
What then?
Well, of course, before you build a site… it would help if you could understand how site building (aka HTML) works.
www.quicksprout.com/beginners-guide-to-html/
has a nice nifty beginners guide to HTML and is definitely worthwhile reading!
Honestly HTML isn’t that difficult to learn, actually… you could even make a 1 page cheatsheet like so:
Step 1.) Beef up on HTML tutorials
Step 2.) Visit your fav WP sites, highlight a portion of the text, and then rightclick/view source
Step 3.) See how the code you’re now viewing… causes the display that you see.

Why not consider that today?
Enjoy!
