Final truth:

You don’t fail because of the tool…
You fail because you chose without knowing why.

Pick your direction first.

Everything else becomes easy after that.

[Ray 👨🏽‍💻 website & app developer @Raynerdtech]

So what should YOU learn?

• Quick money → WordPress / Shopify
• Design & speed → Framer
• Control without full coding → Webflow
• Simplicity → Squarespace
• Long-term power → Coding

[Ray 👨🏽‍💻 website & app developer @Raynerdtech]

The real mistake?

Comparing yourself to someone on a completely different path.

That’s how people get discouraged and quit too early.

[Ray 👨🏽‍💻 website & app developer @Raynerdtech]

So while one was earning early…

The other was building depth.

One chose speed
The other chose power

Both are valid, just different timelines.

Coding gives you:
• full control
• unlimited flexibility
• ability to build anything

But it takes time to pay off.

Because your clients are not small businesses…
they are startups, tech companies, and complex platforms.

Squarespace

Best for: simplicity

This is for people who don’t want stress.

Drag, drop, publish.

No deep learning curve, just clean and straightforward websites.

[Ray 👨🏽‍💻 website & app developer @Raynerdtech]

Webflow

Best for: people who want more control without going fully into coding

It sits between no-code and code.

More powerful than WordPress in design…
but still easier than writing everything from scratch.

[Ray 👨🏽‍💻 website & app developer @Raynerdtech]

Framer

Best for: modern, clean, design-heavy websites

Framer stands out because of speed + aesthetics.

You can go from idea → beautiful live site very fast.

Perfect if your strength is design and you want to stand out visually.

[Ray 👨🏽‍💻 website & app developer @Raynerdtech]

Shopify

Best for: e-commerce

If money is your focus, Shopify is one of the easiest entry points.

Businesses don’t want to “build a store”…
They want to start selling immediately, and Shopify is built for that.

[Ray 👨🏽‍💻 website & app developer @Raynerdtech]

WordPress

Best for: business websites, blogs, company pages

This is the fastest way to start making money as a beginner.

Why?
Because clients already know it, trust it, and can manage it themselves after you’re done.

[Ray 👨🏽‍💻 website & app developer @Raynerdtech]

Small businesses don’t care about your clean code.

They care about:
“Can I edit this myself?”
“Can I run this without calling you?”

That’s why tools that give them control always win.

[Ray 👨🏽‍💻 website & app developer @Raynerdtech]

First thing you need to understand:

They were both right… they just chose different markets, and the market you choose determines how fast you get paid.

The WordPress guy didn’t become better… he just chose a path businesses already understand and are willing to pay for immediately.

[Ray 👨🏽‍💻 website & app developer @Raynerdtech]

2 friends started web development in 2024.
One learned WordPress.
The other went deep into coding.

By 2025, one was already getting gigs… business websites, e-commerce stores, steady money.

The other? Very skilled… could build real systems from scratch.

But no clients.

Why? Businesses don’t want code they can’t manage.

Fast forward… one is earning early, the other starts doubting himself and quit.

Same start. Different outcomes.

Maybe he wouldn’t have quit if he knows what path he was heading, if he knew why or the difference in learning coding,
Wordpress,
Shopify,
framer,
webflow,
Squarespace and others, he would have gone for something that suit his goals

Let’s fix the confusion 🧵
