...that can cost someone a lot of lost time and frustration.
As someone who currently has 1000+ domains, this is totally relevant. For example, using PHP for certain things on my sites is simply more efficient, particularly when mass updates or edits are concerned.
I started off not knowing a lot about HTML, CSS, JS, Python, etc., but ultimately I
had to learn, because editing sites individually became too time-consuming. Ultimately,
we just have to find our own way to do the things we need done. Sometimes it involves figuring it out yourself, or hiring someone competent to program whatever it is you're unable to successfully complete on your own (
been there, done that...and it got me to where I needed to be).
I'm not advocating one language or framework over another, but if one can utilize these tools in a way that saves time and does what one wants them to do, that's all that really matters. FWIW, spreadsheet usage has been invaluable (
again, due to the sheer number of domains in my portfolio).
Not every domainer/domain investor needs to go this route. For many, just using whatever management tools that a registrar and/or marketplace offers will be enough for their needs.
For those of us who want to perform actions or add functionality not offered at a registrar or marketplace (
or WordPress, WIX, Weebly, etc.), then
yeah, learning how to program is a
must for customization.
I'm pretty sure my workflow is waaaaay different than everyone else's--
and that's okay.
Here are other things I sometimes use when working on/editing my domains:
And when I say "
working on/editing my domains," in
my world that mostly means designing my own landing pages. I'm not as interested in data scraping, API programming or dropcatch-related scripting at this stage, but maybe I'll dabble with those in the future.
Granted, this doesn't provide a direct answer to the OP's question, but the main takeaway is what's in
bold.
Good luck with your programming/coding journey!
