Answer 7

Author, do not listen to these guys who write about wordpress. For you to understand, wordpress was created by developers for themselves. There's a terrible template engine, terrible code!!! People who advise wp are just cashing in on you. Use dle. It's faster and easier to learn. If you know html and css, then in an hour you can start writing a site and you will write it much faster than if you wrote for wordpress. In wp, at the beginning, you will try to understand how everything works for about two months, and then, maybe (!), you will be able to write something simple. But DL also has its downsides. although it's more like a minus one. dle paid.
Here, you have a choice. Either study cms for a long time and then spend 2-3 months on a site that will work slowly (compared to dle), or pay money, quickly go over the documentation (it is very clearly written there) and start writing a site that you will write for month (of course it all depends on your knowledge of html, css, js, php) . You can also bypass all this and download a pirated version, i.e. nulled. But here it is at your own peril and risk. In principle, if they are caught, then at the beginning they will make a warning about copyright infringement. But if, nevertheless, they make a warning, then just buy a license. In my time, no one has ever been caught with a nulled version. There is also a story on the net about the fact that Kadyrov had a website on dle nulled)
