So you want to develop your own website. Really?

[fearo]

Hi all,

I have been around IT and applications for many years so I am often amazed when someone says 'I sat down, learn to code and now I develop websites'. I am amazed because my experience of this area is that developing real skills in this area, the skills to do it right, can take years ... it's not just coding with some HTML, XML and JavaScript but design and then marketing your business etc. etc. While on that journey, take into account knowledge erosion, which happens when you are not writing code everyday of the week given your day job etc. so you forget stuff easily ..... suddenly you are months of tedious working and reworking just to learn the basic skills required to attract potential business. Even then you have to convince potential clients that it is worth doing where they just want to rock up to Squarespace or Wix and away they go......

Why am I on this topic? Because I have a niche content idea and I am trying to decide should I embrace the development side and then the content or just sub-contract out the website and be done with it. Why should I learn the coding side? Is it worth all the pain and time if I am not going to develop for clients? But I could well be back here in 12 months time with another idea and again I have to fork out cash for development work? Time is not cheap!

I am interested in your experiences, thanks.

F.
