info6471Q: Hi there, here´s my case scenario.
1. I have a domain name, I assign to it free WP
2. Can I then use your tools to design it as you describe, without anything else?
Thanks

May 14, 2024A: Hey,
Thanks for your question.
You don't need anything other than WordPress to start making design changes with Microthemer. It doesn't depend on any 3rd party tools - it's a standalone style editor. But, when you say "assign it to free WP", do you mean on wordpress.com (Auttomatic hosted) rather than self-hosted? If so, you can't use Microthemer on wordpress.com because they only allow their users to install a limited number of plugins. For a regular WordPress site where you can control what plugins you install, there won't be any problem.
I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions, or if you meant something else by "assign it to free WP".
Thanks,
Sebastian
Hi there,
first of, thank you!
When I asked the question about WP is this...
We can "upload WP" free into a domain in our hosting company.
That is Free.
But the options are really limited, when it comes to design, etc.
So, if I upload WP into a domain, as a normal process in most hosting companies, can I use your solution to make a great website without the need of buying-using another theme, whether that theme is free or paid? For example, Astra WP has a free plan, which is rubbish....
Can I make a great looking website on WP based on the constraints-probs described above?
OK, thanks for the clarification.
And yes, you can use Microthemer if you're running WordPress through a general web hosting company. You would add the content for the pages with Gutenberg (the default content editor for WordPress). And then style the content with Microthemer. I should note that Microthemer is just for styling, not adding content. But Gutenberg can handle that for you.
As I mentioned in response to a recent question, Microthemer is best for those that want to learn a bit of CSS (the language of design on the web), or already know some. It's a learning tool for many, as well as being a tool for speeding up the design process. The docs on my site can help those that want to learn some HTML and CSS e.g.
https://themeover.com/html-and-css-inspection/
That video covers the more advanced stuff, but learning it will help you master the design process. Only if you're interested in learning those things of course.
A quick way to check how suitable Microthemer is for you:
a) Watch the basic workflow video (5 mins): https://themeover.com/basic-workflow/
b) Then spend 5 minutes playing around with the live demo: https://livedemo.themeover.com/setting-up-demo-site/?create_demo
That should either peak your interest of help you decide it's not for you.
I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers,
Sebastian
