WordPress vs Laravel — Which Path Should I Focus on for Freelancing and Remote Work?
Hey everyone!
I've been learning web development for about two years. I started with HTML, CSS, and Js, and I'm currently focusing on PHP, with the goal of learning Laravel.
Recently, I started learning WordPress because I heard there's strong demand for WordPress developers in freelancing. Surprisingly, I really enjoy it, especially customizing websites, working with CSS, and using PHP to build custom functionality.
Now I'm struggling to decide where to focus my time.
I'm considering two options:
1. Focus on WordPress development: Learn custom theme and plugin development, WooCommerce, APIs, and advanced PHP, and start looking for freelance clients.
2. Focus on Laravel development: Build a strong backend foundation, learn Laravel, and work toward developing web applications and APIs, while keeping WordPress as a secondary skill.
I'd really appreciate advice from developers who have experience with either or both paths.
Thanks!
