Thinking of going back to html - opinions?

9 replies
For single page sales pages it seems to me there are enough functions such as Facebook codes for likes and comments so I don't have to mess with databases, going over tos's etc and just make a good clean sales page.

What do you all think?

    Things are way to easy now!!

    But to answer your question, it depends on what you want to achieve. I personally like, at the moment, nice clean sales pages without all the razzamatazz.

    I also prefer clean and nice pages...
    The most sales pages look now days very clean and valuable.

    Apple showed us how to do it... just do it too ;-)

    Yes it is a good idea for a sale page plus you can install Google Web Optimizer and test headline, subheads, videos, pictures, optin form, etc... Best solution for a CMS website.

    I've never got comfortable with this move towards WordPress sites. I like things to work exactly the way I want them and, flexible though it is, the WP thing doesn't float my boat, not to mention the fact I find those sites cumbersome to manage and often slow to load.

    So my preference is HTML (well, PHP actually) with the superb (responsive) Bootstrap framework, jQuery and my own PHP framework for database and other housekeeping stuff.

    Cheers,

    Neil

    High recommendation for pure HTML + Bootstrap framework. Build inside Dreamweaver.

    This allows you ultimate control with instant changes on demand.

    As soon as you throw in mass-marketed WordPress; 5 second changes (with HTML) can become $97 plugins or 30 minutes of hair-pulling labour in WordPress.

    In short: Pure HTML in Dreamweaver wins anyday over WordPress. Except in cases of hosting a blog.

    I miss the days of HTML. I use to build all kinds of sites but got on the wordpress train and learned the hard way that it's really not that great for high traffic sites.

    There are times when I still like to use html website. It is easier to use and I like to use it to quickly create a simple squeeze page to get my business going.
