I too thought of Wordpress as too boxy, but I now see it as a quick and easy
launchinging point. All of it is open architecture and quite flexible.
Imagine starting with Wordpress, and ending up tith an Express site down the
road? Rest API and Nodejas makes this an avenue. Wordpress a
I developed a website using Wordpress. Even using the REST API a little. I
also created a series of videos explaining how to develop Wordpress websites
and how to hose a PHP/Wordpress sites locally for development and how to
transfer them to the internet hosted website.
I agree we blind developers can do some HTML and Javascript ourselves, but in
the final product we will need sighted people to make the minor changes to our
CSS.
I have not played with Bootstrap alot yet. Just been busy on other topics.
Bootstrap seems perfect from my understanding. 12 columns for the display.
Color schema naming class definitions. Also responsive naming conventions.
From what I have learned thus far and researched it is a blind developers
dream. Imagine a silver blue schema with collapsible menus, and resonsive
coding. Now bring in a sighted person and train them on what to do.
I used Wordpress for its versatility and ease of use. Support of Nodejs, REST
ApI is great. This means the only limit is my creativity. The API support wil
open the door to tother platform development options/opportunities.

Hello guys,
this topic might be one of the more common ones discussed between blind
developers, but I thought it'd be worth bringing it up again.
I frequently think about creating my own website and tried several
different ways already. I studied computer science for multiple degrees
already and thus don't want to go with CMS like Drupal or Wordpress,
which I already tried, but it doesn't feel professional enough for my
taste. Thats why I always come back to writing my own, which is not a
problem per-se, but it won't just look great due to me not being able to
properly format the website.
I often think about GUI frameworks like Qt, which deffinitely need
people who can see and move stuff around from time to time, but thanks
to designing patterns like layouts, boxes and such, a good-looking
simple GUI can deffinitely be done as a blind person without having to
fiddle around too much withthe graphics. I wasn't able to find something
comparable in the web world yet unfortunately.
What is your experience with this topic? Do you have a website which you
developed on your own without sighted help or what did you ask them to
do for you? How would you approach such a thing?
I'm currently thinking about a new attempt in writing a page in react
based on bootstrap and some other pre-defined packages, hoping that I
can ask a gweb designer to do the CSS for me as soon as all the content
is finished, but i'm deffinitely stepping onto new territory here for me.
Thanks.
Best Regards.
