I run a small digital agency. We develop custom themes for WordPress and Shopify for clients.
I'm thinking about expanding my team, and my plan is to hire young computer science professionals and train them to develop custom themes from scratch.
Is now really the right time to hire and train entry-level custom theme developers, or is this skill becoming a commodity?




I find this ongoing debate about optimizing site structures and layouts particularly relevant for the Wix creator community. When building a professional portfolio or a showcase site, creators often get too caught up in the desktop editor aesthetics, completely overlooking the actual mobile user experience, especially regarding cache handling and heavy script execution speeds.
Just last night, I was looking into these specific issues of responsiveness and mobile app stability, and I actually ended up analyzing the interface of **ย in UK to observe how their interactive elements and database queries perform on a standard smartphone browser. It serves as a very practical example of a clean layout that avoids unnecessary script bloat to maintain uptime.
Ultimately, instead of the usual marketing hype regarding platform perfection or brilliant coding, having this kind of grounded, technical feedback on overall site reliability is exactly what helps us optimize our own Wix projects for the end-user.
