In reply to Frank the Husky:
I went through a similar thing 2 weeks ago. Knew absolutely nothing of web desiging but wanted to do some very simple stuff. Got some free templates expecting it to be an 'easy' thing to customise it and got a shock, but persevering a little i stumbled into these tutorials
https://www.w3schools.com/ which i can't recomend enough. The 'dev tools' panel in Chrome is also invaluable to work out what's happening, and doesn't take long to figure out.
After an hour i was able to customise content with HTML, in 2 hours i could customise and modify the looks with CSS. In 2 days i could design a site from the ground up with a bit of fiddling (and loads of googling) to work out how CSS positions stuff, and i started tinkering with Javascript. Now 2 weeks down the line i'm proficient in HTML, CSS, JS, and Jquery, and made a demo page application with an idea i had, all with custom original code, that friends in the business say i should offer around and ask 4 figure sums for it. My only coding experience was a little bit of 'basic. i learnt while in College over 20 years ago which that said was really useful once i started writing complex functions with jquery..
Give it a try, it's definitely worth it and interesting, and after the initial shock is much easier than it looks. Otherwise i'll make you a good price, ha, ha.
