定制器中的Wordpress内联样式在生产中

Question

I am relatively new in web development. I have question more about best practices and common patterns.

I am using wordpress, I found free theme and using it like starting point to build web site. This theme provides possibility to configure it using Customizer , so you can just change values in interactive mode to apply settings.

And than this goes into header inline css style so all styles are stored directly in html and for sure they override styles defined in css files.

I found this feature useful for people who are not familiar with web design and development in depth, you can tune up web site just clicking buttons.

But personally for this inline code looks ugly in source code of the page, and to override it I need to inline directly inside tag using style . So I prefer modifying styles directly from css file.

All in all my question is : Is it good practice for using such customizers in production or it is better to structure all styles inside css files without ability to change appearance from customizer.

PS I am going to use this site for personal purpose, so no one else will modify it.

Some themes offer a UI to edit background/text colors. If this is your case then I would just use that if it's all you need.

If you're actually writing custom styles then whenever possible I suggest creating a child theme for customizing 3rd party themes. This offers separation from site content (stored in the database) from code and it separates your custom code from the 3rd party's theme code. This option requires that you can upload your own themes.
