Looking back on the activity of Wikidot from prior years, I've noticed that activity has sort of gone down (correct me if I'm wrong). I thought about why this may be, and what I'm thinking is that Wikidot isn't getting the interest of people who want to create a website. Wikidot website creation platform allows those who want customization over their site to have it (while it's not complete control, it's still a great amount that we get, not many complaints there). However, we're not getting the attention of those who don't want to approach website creation in a programming oriented way. Website builders such as Wix, Weebly, Squarespace, etc look appealing to people because they look easy to manage and create, and look great without any effort. If we could draw in the people who want the ease of website creation, while giving a good amount of customization, I think it would benefit the Wikidot platform overall (to clarify, I'm not suggesting throwing away the programming oriented side of Wikidot, I'm suggesting that we have WYSIWYG editing as an option).If you agree/disagree in any way, comment below.
I also made a post prior on the TIBD regarding web development topics, including Wikidot.
