Is it worth learning HTML, CSS, JS ?

I mean wordpress is very good and also faster with more customization, perfect for quality and time saving, so is it really worth learning them?

In WordPress you can also make good websites but by 1. using ready made templates 2. using their style 3. you can't design it with your own will. 4. Its not free at all. You have to pay for some plugins and themes. 5. You can't say that its your work because 80% it is already made by theme makers. HTML, CSS, JS are useful for coding and 1. You can make websites according to your wish. 2. It is totally your work. 3. In WordPress too sometimes we have to use html, css or js for more formatting. Moral of the story: HTML, CSS and JS is so useful while learning web development. 😊

You have ready to use templates with wordpress that you can customize. But this customization comes with certain limits. Coding gives you flexibility to customize the website as per your choice and needs. You should definitely learn them.

It depends on your goal. If you learn HTML, CSS and JS well, in the future you might be able to make s.th like WordPress or even better.

I got this from Quora, very nice article must read https://www.quora.com/Is-it-useful-to-learn-HTML-CSS-and-JavaScript-just-for-your-knowledge Yes it's useful. As you say maybe you can't make a living out of it, BUT maybe you can. Those languages are the fundamentals of the Front End Development, just with that knowledge you can find some small jobs so you can get extra money. If you don't want to work as a web developer, that's fine.

WordPress can load slower with no optimization. WordPress isn't the best for e-commerce. Youll need to customize wordpress to stand out. So yes..html css and js are important.

Before you start learning a language you should know what to expect from it. Unless if you just want to know as many languages as possible. But if you want to develop a website then go for it

It's better learning how to do it yourself than depending on others code. Moreover using wordpress and co. , You have limited themes, functions, etc. But you can do the whole thing yourself by just learning these languages
