Is WordPress a good site to use to build my portfolio? I hear WordPress gets hacked a lot but it's so popular I thought it might be easy to use. Thoughts?

WordPress is fine, but you don't have to use a fancy CMS for your portfolio. In many cases Github will do just as well. I built my portfolio website using Flask because most of my code is in Python.

I’d use Squarespace or Wix- they’re much more user friendly than WordPress for somebody who’s building a basic portfolio site.

Depends what your portfolio is for, what you’re a specialist in! I’m pro-Squarespace myself, but a creative will have a very different perspective than a data scientist or a consultant

I love Squarespace and also recommend Carrd- a lot simpler and cheaper with great templates. Keep it simple. Wordpress is a reasonable learning curve.

I like WordPress. The hacking can be contained with regular maintenance and/or security subscriptions

I need everyone’s help😭 Money aside, how did you finalize which idea to pursue? I’m struggling to narrow it down from 4. Focusing is not an issue for me once I’m locked in, but I’m struggling to get there because I haven’t finalized which idea to focus on. Open to any recommendations please (books, personal stories, etc).

Not sure if this is the right forum but - my H1B extension has been approved (just got to know today) but my driving license will expire soon.

Couldn’t find a lot of info online, appreciate any help and advice!

And to throw into the mix, my lease is up so will be shifting to a new address soon.
