@thisisrarae wants to build an online craft shop but is getting frustrated with her tools for building it. I setup a wordpress site and she found a theme and some promising looking plugins but getting it to layout right has been a frustrating process and I'm not much help with frontend stuff like this. The Wordpress editor is sort of WYSIWYG but not very intuitive.
Does the nerd hive mind have any recommendations? Better wordpress themes/plugins? Alternatives to wordpress?

@intrepidhero @thisisrarae if its just the editor that hinders you, check out #classicpress.

@intrepidhero
The frustration is normal. The upside to WordPress is the variety of plugins and themes. The downside is wrestling them into submission.
You typically need skills with CSS to take better control over layout.
So maybe it's a case of managing expectations? Settle in for the ride and don't rush it? -

@intrepidhero @thisisrarae Additional CSS is always helpful. But a child theme is a good way to go. If you really stuff it up you can always revert back to the original theme. You can add or remove stuff in the child theme - if it breaks something just remove or re-add your changes.

@MyView @ghost_shit yeah - we haven't had pets for a few years now - it's just too heartbreaking when they die. I make do with the wild birds who visit the backyard bird feeder and bath.

@feather1952 very peaceful at the moment - no lawnmowers or whipper snippets - just bird sounds. Blissful.
