Hello everyone,
So I've had this idea since last summer and messed around a bit with html and stuff, but I am far from designing a professional website especially as complex as I have in mind. I have been contemplating for months if I should try learn to do graphics, photoshop, coding and build the website myself or go with a company that will do all the work for me and I only provide the content. I will have full access to make changes if I want to, that is if I will know how to. This one website charges $30 a month for a more basic site with hosting, they design and build the whole thing and maintain it monthly. Then they charge $70 for a more complex with an user content management settings and such because my idea will need a members feature so people cam register and share content throughout the site. Been trying to read up a bunch of stuff on programming and content management sites but so far it's all gibberish to me. Either I build a simple site and see how it goes and how many visitors I can bring in before I pay another company, or do I make a super amazing website with this company and risk the site going nowhere??? Your thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated!! Sorry for any typos, kinda hard to type right on an iphone :))

I'd suggest doing the former to determine if there's interest and need in what you're offering. Then, you build out and scale up.

If you are planning to use those skills for the future, this would be a good starting point to learn. Otherwise, outsourcing the work to focus on the marketing and execution is also good.
