No apology necessary - I appreciate a good discussion

We're all coming at this from different backgrounds and varying skill levels. Getting a site online is key to doing online business, and is going to be a hurdle whether you're going the DIY route or trying to outsource (something you don't really know yourself). I hear the phrase "pulling my hair out" on a daily basis from both sides of that coin. And of course, I've been there myself.

Your frame of reference is interesting. How did you overcome the technical hurdle yourself? I learned the hard way, through trial and error, enough to get by on the new design landscapes... but not enough to create engaging presentations.

Of course I used to, as I started out in web dev - but back in the 90's that was a completely different set of code and way of doing things.
