Do you want to make a job out of your site, or building a framework for your site? These are two different things, and spending time one one tends to prevent you from spending time on the other.
- thatusertwo 16y agoby job i mean money maker... That is true, probably build out the site and extend/fix the framework as necessary. Isn't it the same thing though?
- timrobinson 16y agoIf you use somebody else's framework, they can extend and fix the framework so you don't have to. And if that framework is open source, and somebody else isn't extending or fixing it for you, you can do it yourself. You can still hack on it, but you don't have to build it from the ground up. I respect building something from scratch so you can learn from it (I once wrote my own OS), but that tends to be helpful only once. After you've learned from the experience, you tend to be better at judging what to tackle yourself, and what you can leave to other people.
- thatusertwo 16y agoi do use jquery for some of it, also got some methods from the internet to make some tasks easier. So its not totally from scratch.
- malux85 16y agoThis answer is 100% correct. Think about it in cash terms. The amount of time you spend writing the framework is time (money) coming out of YOUR pocket. There is ZERO point in writing your own framework or starting from scratch these days .. stand on the shoulders of giants and reach higher!
