I wasn’t the best html coder either when I made my first gambling related site. But, I found out about CMS (content management systems), which, depending on the kind of site you’re making, can turn out to be a very interesting alternative than coding your own site from scratch.
There’s a lot of different CMS out there. Most of them are php based and they come with comprehensive admin panel. So you basically don’t have to code at all. At the worst, if you’re not good at web designing, you can hire a web designer, but it’s all css, so it isn’t that hard to create the look you want.
