Is creating competition for the site imgur. com possible from someone that doesn't know any code?

[aqweseven]

I have a great idea of creating a website that could possibly be competition for imgur.com, since from my perspective, they are nearly a monopoly when it comes to image/gif hosting websites. At least with reddit that is definitely the case, at least 95% of reddit posts use imgur to share content, having browsed the website for 3 years now.

Another question I want to ask is, what is the best route to go down if I want to build such a site?

My idea of the website is to be as simplistic and user friendly as possible, no users or comments and likes etc, just a plain website that hosts content with some features in mind that will definitely make it unique enough to grab peoples attention over from imgur (an actual benefit/need).

I am 19, only have $1000 in my account so outsourcing is not really a possibility in the near future. So with that in mind, should I simply dive right into learning code or do you guys have other suggestions?

I have read a couple of the threads here regarding to code or outsource, I'm just still finding it hard to relate and come to a reasonable conclusion.

Thanks very much, all help is greatly appreciated!!
