Heres what I did: I started out learning HTML/CSS, which I think is crucial. It'll take a few weeks to learn. I think it's pretty necessary to know if you're getting into the web; it's also simple enough.
Then you can figure out how to get a basic site up. This will keep you learning, if you want to be taken seriously, you need to understand how to do all this stuff. Use your new found skills to build up something basic, but something that can make you a bit of money. I built www.iPadCaseFinder.com, it got quite a bit of press, and made $3k~ in 3 months, and I sold it for the same amount. Use this money to hire a designer, get the mockups done, use your HTML/CSS skills to code them, and apply any necessary jQuery, etc. Then use that to find a programmer :-) (Or rinse and repeat, use the new money to hire a programmer).
I'm assuming your skills are business and marketing, so use those skills well.
Also, network.
- tyng 16y agoHey dude, when iPadCaseFinder.com first came out my friend said to me "this guy is so smart, got into the game before everyone else"! Congrats on the success! I do know some HTML/CSS codes though can't really build a site from scratch. I've been building websites using wordpress then change the stuff in the theme CSS file. And agree about the importance of networking :)
- lachyg 16y agoBrilliant. I owe a lot to WordPress :-) and cheers on the compliments from your friend!
