http://perpetual.education is a design/programming school. We like to be part of the discussion over here at Dev.to / We have time-slots for free conversations for career advice IRL : )
Is this a thing? (just meaning - it's really new / not-new but new term)
Great pros and cons list.
This is a very interesting group of choices.
WordPress (but it looks like you specifically mention that WP has "no coding" - so, you mean wordpress.org - or the style of WP where you buy a theme - vs write your own / of otherwise to nothing custom)
Wix (which is just straight up just trash)
and JAMstack - which is 'simple' because it's just markdown... but also insanely complex and wrapped up in git, netlify, react, node, gatspy... and tons of stuff that the 'wix' person would have NO idea about.
We use WordPress all the time - and we build out fully custom themes from "scratch" (scratch isn't really a thing when working with a robust framework) - but the reason why - is because we have many people contributing and they need a reasonable admin panel - and we need to use a database. The fun part is - that you can actually take that JSON data from the WordPress site - and use it in a "JAM" stack (just a netlify marketing ploy) - and build static sites with it.
thank you for asking these questions, let's clear it up:
Yeah, a classic JAMStack project is a thing, because JAMStack follows certain conventions, otherwise it would not be qualified as a JAMStack project.
For WordPress, there is no coding knowledge necessary, because you can do 99% of things with plugins and tutorials, but ofc coding knowledge helps with fixing issues or adding features yourself.
I wouldn't disqualify Wix as trash since there is a user base for everything out there, it just might not be your thing.
A Wix person would have no idea about JAMStack, that is true, this article acts as a high level overview of what you could use, depending on what your skill set and background is.
I totally understand your reasons for using WordPress, it makes sense. Using it as headless CMS like you described is also a cool idea!
Yes, that is my personal website, you can read all my blog posts (not all coding related) here: markushatvan.com/blog
