Absolutely! Learning WordPress is still a good choice right now. It powers a huge part of the web, from small blogs to big business sites. Also, it’s beginner-friendly but also powerful enough to grow with you as you learn more advanced skills. Whether you want to build your own site, WordPress skills are in high demand.

Also, with the constant updates and new tools like page builders and AI integrations, WordPress keeps getting better and more useful. So yes, investing time in learning WordPress is definitely worth it!

Why selfhost wordpress can not be easy to use as squarespace and fix all things like SS is doing?
On the other side, till today I not found one ss website who has multiple listings in the serps, with a good structured wordpress site you will achieve that, but I not saw one ss website - I wonder why ? There must be a reason for this or ss can't do it (is not good for seo) , or the most ss users don't know how to achieve that with ss.

Downside is, ss is good and new version is fast but not when you have more than 1000 blog posts, so when you blog a lot of content daily, wordpress is the better choice.

I know WordPress very well, and many people have asking me to teach them Wordpress.

However, with AI rapidly advancing and impacting so many areas, I believe it's more important to focus on learning AI right now, which is exactly what I'm doing.

What do you think?

I am a wordpress developer myself , with the AI i am now able to create images, content , initial design / layout ideas , which i was not doing earlier so AI made my work better .

Yes wordpress blocks is a good thing, to make it with patterns close to squarespace, but ss is much much easier to use.

Today I work on my site the half day, install one theme after another, after five themes I gave up.

Logo too tiny small can't change the size, can't change color of header menue, can't use my own header custom background color, the list goes on.

After 5 themes I gave up , be tired and have headache from that boring wordpress cms, that's not funny
