I used to do Wordpress development and the short of it is, it wasn’t profitable enough to be sustainable for me. These days, web development is more of a side gig for me and I’m no longer using Wordpress. I don’t necessarily need to make a full-time income with it and I’m certainly not looking for high pressure, high stakes projects, but I was wondering where the best opportunities are for freelancers these days and what would be best skills/technologies to learn for those sorts of jobs?

Also, as a more specific side question, are things like Hugo and Jekyll much in demand these days as far as freelance goes?

That sounds promising. I’m not overly familiar with Rails, but I’ll definitely have to look into that more.

The Odin Project has a Ruby on Rails track if you’re interested :)

That’s a great idea! I was looking at the Odin Project the other week and it seemed to have great content. Thanks!
