Started a website, no coding experience

[Right Twix]

Hello, so I came up with this idea, to sell a food/health product that gets consumed. This product is widely found and sold but I have never seen a subscription model for it.

My plan is to sell online, with through my own website, so I bought the domain, hosted it, and went off to create my wordpress website.

Now, I dont have any coding experience, and I quickly realized that in order to customize and change my website, I would need more than the basic templates, and actually understand some of the code. So what do I do? I hop on youtube learn some HTML, with the intention of CSS next. But then I soon realize that PHP, and Java is also needed, and that this can turn into a rabithole of learning, aka action-faking instead of taking the steps to proof of concept, and working towards generating revenue. Coding is a deep and wide topic, that I see as valuable, but also easily outsourced.

So now Im considering hiring someone on Fiverr to set it up the website, so I can get to the landing page, and proof of concept faster. Im just worried that afterwards I wont be able to maneuver the site.

Any thoughts or experiences?


The barrier to entry on this is very low, and I realize it doesn't meet the CENTS model, but I wanted to get started so I could learn the e-commerce, ads, marketing, website side of things.

just get a wordpress drag and drop builder.

Learning curve is a few days.

Elementor and Themify come to mind.

Elementor is actually cool for people that can't code, took me three days to learn how it worked (i binge watched YT tutorials) and now i can make beautiful wordpress websites.

Also heard good things about Elementor.

If you really want a shortcut then why not Shopify?

I might be interested in creating a landing page for you. I'm been studying web design/ development for a while and would like a basic project to work on get feedback etc.
