ZioCain26676yWell, that's kinda how I started and I was hired!
I work in Italy, here most people don't even have the time to build a crappy website by themselves, so they always ask someone else to make it.
WordPress is cool if you don't have to do hard things or CRMs, bc it will give a simple UI to the final client to edit his contents (through ACF & its kernel itself)
I would learn something else either way, in order to also make different projects, a lot of people also need a simple app to communicate with their client, so make an app through ionic or something so you don't have to learn a completely new language -
Ederbit7266yEven when using wordpress you can make a lot of money producing simple websites for small companies that currently have no website.
Extra $ for giving support in the long run, charging for SEO or the like.
Popular tools = big user base so if you run into issues your'e most likely to fix them.
In the meantime you can finetune your skills and start to build custom solutions for bigger companies -
What may seem easy to you is monumental to others. I've made plenty of money building websites from WordPress or even simpler tech - simply because there will always be people who have interests and skills other than technology who need a website.
