I was just in the process of hiring a web developer. However he turned out to be very rude and unprofessional ultimately ending in him hanging up the phone because I wanted an idea on final cost of the build. I only have so much capital to start this up with and I did not want to start something I couldn't afford to finish. That would be a waste of money. Unfortunately I shared my idea with this guy and he might steal it and use it now. I am quite upset at the moment and It just shows how many bad people you run into when your doing business. I guess business teaches you to trust nobody.

Do you think learning everything it takes to build a site and market it is worth the time or should I just try to find someone else and not worry about the technical stuff ? I have no idea where to even start, i have no clue how to code, no clue how to SEO, I'm green when it comes to web business's. I guess I could start with wordpress. Any opinions or advice would be really helpful.
