Hey Fastlaners,
I have couple big questions, primarily for those who have experience with creating an interactive-website as their Fastlane Business (@MJ DeMarco response would be extremely appreciated as well!).
I’m fighting with making a decision with the following being my options:
1. Learn to code JavaScript and creating own website from scratch. (Costs time and little money)
2. Learn to code JavaScript and add my own features to a GoDaddy (or other) based website. (Would cost a lot of time and little money, similar to option 1)
3. Hire or contract someone to build the website. (Costs more money, but I could focus time on strategy, marketing, etc.)
4. Other option.
Perhaps I could use a website building tool, such as Wix or WordPress. However, whenever I look at big business websites, such as Amazon and LinkedIn, they don’t have anything at the bottom of their webpages saying “this site was created using this web-builder.” Is it possible to have a successful online businesses created using web-builder templates or are most successful businesses interactive websites created from scratch via programming?
I realize to create a Fastlane Business you cannot escape committing great amounts of time, but I just don’t want to spend hundreds of hours learning to code if it is unnecessary.
I’m very excited about this opportunity and have a vision for what I want the site to look like and a multiple ways on how to monetize the site.
Please give some feedback on your experiences creating web-based Fastlane Businesses and if you have a suggestion for what you think the best decision would be if you were in my shoes.
Question just for MJ DeMarco, if you created Limos.com today, would you learn code and create it from scratch or use a web-builder?
Thank you and talk soon,
Matt
