So, because the WordPress page building system is so labyrinthine and beastly, I need to buy a WordPress page builder system to visually build my site using WordPress? This keeps me from having to “code” with WordPress?

This begs the question of why I am using WordPress to build my website in the first place. I keep reading about “ease of use” when I do Google searches for WordPress. Perhaps what this means is “ease of use for the end user after a professional WordPress developer has built the site for the end user”. For a simple, small business website, I can take a nice, clean, Bootstrap template, replace the template’s graphics and text with my own and, badda-boom, badda-bing, I am in business.

As a simple blogging tool where the presentation of the information is secondary to getting the blogs up and out there, WordPress is awesome. That is what I am using it for as I type this.
