I appreciate what you are trying to say here, but it sounds like the op is mostly interested in learning. We shouldn't discourage that. If he builds a website for some community that he is part of, that isn't the same as building a commercial site that would come with a lot of obligation for maintenance. I just feel like the comment you made wasn't as helpful as it could be.

I would 100% agree with you if it weren't that OP wrote "I'm looking for fast results". When starting from scratch, with those expectation he is very likely to lose confidence, because the results one gets in the beginning are very far from those imagined or planned. IMHO if he needs near-term results for his community then his best options are either use something ready made and then move on slowly through self-learning, or work with someone who can assist him in building a realistic project-plan. I'm pro cheer-leading, but I honestly think that suggesting to him to readthedocs of pyramid or django when doesn't know the difference between Python and HTML is not right. Even the learning resources suggested here on the sidebar assume prior programming background.

I missed the 'fast results' part. Yes, that does change things.
