  • wp-project-skeleton

    A skeleton WordPress project to be used as a base for new WordPress projects.

  • Wordpress is a mixed bag. If you like to code like it's 1999, you will be right at home. It's a pile of crap really by today's standards. With that said, it can be made better. There are projects to make it more modern. At a previous place I worked for we have added a lot of symfony components to our projects, we had composer, DIC, optional Timber templates (twig), dockerised setup, unit tests, it even got opensourced recently: https://github.com/boxuk/wp-project-skeleton There are other projects like that, for example https://roots.io which is more Laravel like I guess as it uses Sage for templating (Blade). What I'm saying is that WP development can be "not bad" as long as you work with the like minded people. Otherwise, don't waste your life, pick something better. Your sanity and career will thank you in the future.

  • bedrock

    WordPress boilerplate with Composer, easier configuration, and an improved folder structure

  • I avoid it as far as possible. There are far, far better CMS's that are a better fit for a modern developer's workflow - I particularly like Statamic. When I do have to work with Wordpress, I generally use Bedrock since it means I can use Composer to manage plugins and themes as dependencies, and can more easily work with it locally, as well as being more secure out of the box.
