Hi guys!

What do you think on this matter?

Does anyone still uses/writes custom code ?
Or everyone works with WP, magento, joomla ?

What do u think is best?

    Go custom most guys don't understand that "with these pre-made" templates & themes" there is no branding.

    Yes, there are still creates custom codes.
    Joomla and other CMS are for non-developers.
    Custom codes and frameworks like CodeIgniter, Zend are for developers.

      If you create custom code manually means framework is the best choice. ex :CakePHP, CodeIgniter, Zend. you can create own custom code above this framework.

    "WebdevelopmentGroup", frameworks aren't "templates &/or themes"!

    John WP, magento, joomla aren't frameworks!

    And frameworks DO have custom code. It is simply that historically MANY programs have to do the SAME thing(Accept user input, manage pages, CRUD database stuff, print reports, etc... and someone pulled all that out and setup a way to have CUSTOM CODE tie in with it in a standard way to get rid of a lot of that stuff.

    And with frameworks, you CAN BRAND. The only way you often know what they are using is by some look and feel(controls, logs, and some methods may look similar), Some errors may give it away, and there are the library names.

    Apparently, a lot of people ARE moving to frameworks. Of course, some may force you to rewrite big chunks of code, and there are a lot of frameworks, most of which are incompatible with one another. Don't expect that you can simply swap one framework for another. SOME frameworks have pieces that can get SO complicated that nearly all programmers must use a special IDE for it. Sadly, and ironically, those IDEs get SO elaborate that people end up PREFERRING them! Some may NEVER see the other coding behind the scenes.

    If i am building a simple website i just go with wordpress, if it is a web application i use laravel framework.
    As others have mentioned Joomla, Wordpress, Drupal etc are not frameworks they are Content Management Systems (CMS).

    Create your own framework, Base it on the design patterns suitable for your application. I'm experienced with wordpress/joomla/wordpress then frameworks like codeignitor/yii/zen etc. But if you truly want to understand an app and have no unnecessary over heads it has to bespoke from the ground up. To do this you have to be confident with your coding though!

      I wish I had started to use frameworks years ago! Before I used to code everything myself but for my "comeback" as developer after some years I decided to give a try to a framework... and I couldn't be happier!

      It is not about what you can do, because if you can code you can do exactly the same, it's about how fast and effortless you can do it! With so many code pre-written you save a lot time. And most important to me: you share the core code with a community that will take care of important aspects like updates or security (though you never should feel 100% safe just because of this).

    Right now I am making custom code only and makign it without using framework, it would be easier to understand the basics of the language when you make custom coding.
