🧩 A Minimalist WordPress Workflow

Set up a clean, lightweight WordPress environment using LocalWP, Superblank, and the LSX theme. Ditch heavy plugins and bloated builders.

🧩 A Minimalist WordPress Workflow

LocalWP is a great tool to spin up and manage WordPress sites on your system. It handles automatic WordPress installation, WP-CLI, SSH access, Live Links, MagicSync, and more; so you can focus on building instead of fiddling with servers.

For a minimal WordPress workflow:

1. Install LocalWP → Create a fresh WordPress site in seconds.

2. Use the Superblank extension → Quickly reset your WordPress template to a blank state.

3. Uninstall unnecessary extensions → Keep the install lightweight by removing extras you don’t need.

4. Install the LSX Theme → A no-JavaScript alternative to heavy page builders like Elementor. Faster, leaner, and easier to maintain.

This setup gives you a barebones WordPress environment that’s fast, clean, and distraction-free—perfect for prototyping, small sites, or just learning WordPress without the usual bloat.
