Recently a friend of mine was inquiring about starting up his own site and he wanted to know about what level of knowledge is required? Personally I know a thing or two about HTML etc and it really comes in handy when WordPress throws up errors but I was wondering if I should recommend some lessons to him or tell him it's fine. I know that there are a lot of online institutes that can teach code and I have used a few in the past but is it really worth his time doing that to solve a few WordPress based issues.

On a scale of 1 to 10 for my programming and coding knowledge, I'd say I'm around a 0.5 lol I can do some basic HTML and that's about it. But that didn't stop me from putting up close to 20 websites and getting them to make money ;)
If you don't have the skills, you can always outsource the work or use systems that are in place for people like me who don't have the skills lol. I tend to use Wordpress a lot when setting up a new website. I will buy my domain, set up my hosting, set up Wordpress on my hosting, upload my premium theme, configure the theme to my liking and then market the website For ecommerce I do the same thing but instead of Wordpress I'll use Shopify because it's very idiot proof
Wordpress and Shopify are good work arounds if I don't want to outsource the design and programming. The only downside is that you're limited by what the theme already has and it's plugins. Sure you can get a plugin for the Wordpress dashboard, but they don't always have what you want and you'll have to hire a programmer.
If you outsource it, I would go on websites like SeoClerks (duh) and post a WTB (want to buy) sales page to see if anyone would be willing to do the work for you. Normally it's pretty cheap because you can hire people from India or the Philippines to do the work. Just be careful, do your research on each person who applies. I've been scammed by people on other platforms because I didn't do my due diligence. I've never had a problem here on SeoClerks though
As for learning how to do all this yourself. I hope you have the time to learn it all because it won't be a one week type of learning course I've been told that codeacademy.com is a great place to go and learn whatever you want. And not only is it great, but it's 100% FREEEEE!!!! which makes it even better Knowing how to code or program isn't really necessary when getting a website up, but it does come in handy if something breaks :D On a scale of 1 to 10 for my programming and coding knowledge, I'd say I'm around a 0.5 lol :D I can do some basic HTML and that's about it.
