Everyone has ideas all the time, and many assume that the result of a shower-induced epiphany could mean they are soon to become the next Richard Branson, though maybe without the beard.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Whatever your idea is, first and foremost, your to-be-successful business needs a website. The question is, do you pay someone to do it? Or do you build it yourself?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There are pros and cons to both. At <a href=\"http:\/\/www.careerfoundry.com\/\">CareerFoundry<\/a>, we\u2019ve witnessed the fantastic that results first-time coders have produced after just a few months. We\u2019ve also seen them benefit from learned skills they can now use to update and maintain their sites without needing to pay for a web developer as the company grows.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"coding-for-entrepreneurs\"><b>Coding For Entrepreneurs <\/b><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At first glance, it might seem easier to get someone else to do it, especially when you have a million other things to do to get your business off the ground. But in the long-term, you could be costing your business a small fortune.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/sT55SPHb--8kl13TIkQJWxSjzh64RUrSGWbrcxCliRFBGMJAfgjtOsDlch0-5Szk6SNOsE3aFCAwaB8VixWhIznTIFefZldkR2otVvoUZnEzN31F1TvDeH4YAG2yY9qv5w\" alt=\"freelance2\" width=\"624px;\" height=\"468px;\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">The importance of getting your brand out there<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">These days anyone selling anything needs a website. Why? For exactly the same reason you look online whenever you need something. Most people turn to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/\">Google<\/a> for answers to simple or complex questions.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">They need to be able to find you, and a website is the easiest way for you to be found. Your customers need to know what you\u2019re offering and how they can get their hands on it. They also want to know the sort of people they are buying from. People aren\u2019t just interested in buying your products, they\u2019re interested in buying into a lifestyle, an idea, or a person.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This is why a skillfully designed website for your business is so crucial. This is your advertisement to the world to tell them who you are, what you do, and why you\u2019re so much better than everything else out there.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">The benefits of learning to code<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One mistake many entrepreneurs make is hiring someone to do the job for them rather than learning to build a website for themselves. There is a fear that developers won\u2019t be able to incorporate all of the very specific elements (the ones that make your brand unique) \u00a0into the design, structure, and content of your website.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, at CareerFoundry, we work with talented web developers every day who turn our lofty, sometimes impossible-sounding ideas into great-looking, user-centric web pages and apps like magic. But what other options are out there? If I can\u2019t do it myself, I have to pay someone, right?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">No,<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.careerfoundry.com\/20-ways-to-learn-how-to-code-3\/\"> learn to code<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Building a website yourself will cost you a lot less in terms of time taken and money spent than to have the equivalent website built for you by somebody else. And, once you\u2019ve learned how to code, you can make any additions, changes, developments or improvements to the site yourself. No more additional, unexpected costs or hours wasted explaining what you want.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/profile\/view?id=50070016&amp;goback=%2Enppvan_georgiogeorgiev\">Georgi Georgiev<\/a>, a developer at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techstars.com\/\">Techstars<\/a>, says:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cDon\u2019t waste your money (hiring someone); your code will need constant maintenance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Knowing how to program is a skill that is only going to become more important going forward. When you have a team of 30 web developers working for you, it will be helpful when you know exactly what they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/MSavTy9qIG9TRNwoj2YmhwultFdFQVP_9WCzR-A3NJnnxpAgt70i_FCBIzq-z4F5hf-0Q8IEwAgrFX5TVxCUg6WqlF1Bwf3Q1GLJvv4mysxTTX4OYCohT65cpQfBVqS7pA\" alt=\"macbookphoto\" width=\"624px;\" height=\"416px;\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Breakdown of costs: Paying a web developer vs learning to code<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The cost of paying for a web developer can vary dramatically depending on skill set and experience. It\u2019s hard to put a number on exactly how much building a website will cost, which is why budgeting for it can be close to impossible. And, as we all know, budgeting for your small business is crucial to its success.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The price also depends on the type of website you want to build. At an absolute minimum, paying a web developer hourly can cost $20; at a maximum, it can be in the hundreds. When you consider <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.careerfoundry.com\/20-ways-to-learn-how-to-code-3\/\">our list of resources for learning to code<\/a>, which is packed full of free and low-cost ways for you to learn, why are you even considering paying someone else to build that website for you?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Studying web development with us would set you back less than $1,300 for a three-month immersive, online course with your own personal mentor. An experienced web developer could charge you the same amount for a week\u2019s work on your website.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/TWIxjvPMUGMeXpxp31YoPnVyizuTL5mDij0BESMz9-ZkoNzu3nc9gOz2ow-t_oi6HqAN2A0lOWZRQe7XssVpefk-NWNohXJCWHbfmrZQKtAAdmomukF2juFyd6PBsfn61w\" alt=\"clock\" width=\"624px;\" height=\"415px;\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Time-scale: How long will it take to learn to code?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This depends very much on the person, but many courses (both online and offline) are within structured time frames. At CareerFoundry, you will be building your own website from Day One. And in less three months, you will have your own working, professional website built from your own hands. Not bad for a cost-saving initiative, eh?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you choose to teach yourself, self-motivation will play a huge role in your success. But don\u2019t forget, when this is for your business, you\u2019ve got a fantastic incentive to keep learning! Read Josh Kemp\u2019s journey from <a href=\"http:\/\/joshuakemp.blogspot.de\/\">Blacksmith to Web Developer<\/a>. Josh was entirely self-taught, and it took him only seven months of intensive, full-time study from beginning his journey of learning to code to landing his first job as a coder with <a href=\"http:\/\/get.ziplist.com\/\">ZipList<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We won\u2019t lie to you, learning without the help of a mentor, teacher, or friend in the field will be considerably more challenging, so we would always recommend a mentored approach over a solo one. But that\u2019s not to say it\u2019s impossible. With online resources, such as <a href=\"http:\/\/stackoverflow.com\/\">StackOverflow<\/a> and, of course, our friend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/\">Google<\/a>, you can find the answer to every programming question you could ever think of.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Some websites will require a developer<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We think you should learn to code. Not just so you can save money, but so you are in a stronger position as CEO of your startup. However, we would never expect a beginner to jump straight in and build a website like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.groupon.com\/\">Groupon <\/a>with no previous programming experience. It\u2019s important to know what kind of site you want to build and if it\u2019s something you could realistically learn to build yourself once you\u2019ve learned to code.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This fantastic graphic from <a href=\"http:\/\/viniciusvacanti.com\/2010\/09\/27\/should-you-hire-a-programmer-or-diy\/\">Vinicius Vacanti<\/a>\u2019s blog gives you an idea of the technical difficulty of different types of websites:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/GEtvMW12O_H-bSUVSoSAwJejLxpFJiupcw4BdC5UIsHDrvp0KZC1VJ_qr7Q9pWjbcoBQ3r_MxdNTVq-nJyn716coHXHy2WKqTcb0EzUzs8s-WeBS4FUuhI8-yVMIbPOaRQ\" alt=\"options1\" width=\"624px;\" height=\"469px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Before you start on your coding journey, ask questions, do your research, and have a clear idea of what you want to build. The more preparation you do, the easier it will be when you are getting your hands dirty with code.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">So consider your options: Learn to code, or pay someone else to build your website. Either one will take time, money, and varying degrees of stress and patience. However, if you invest that time and money wisely and learn how to code, the rewards could be far greater than simply being able to build your own website. You\u2019ll have invaluable, in-demand skills that will always be relevant in every industry.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Finally, you\u2019ll have a website that really reflects your great idea, your passion, and your values. So, when your customers come to the site, they can see what\u2019s important to you as a person and as a brand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As many entrepreneurs will tell you, having great ideas rarely equates to having a great business.
