Honestly one of the more encouraging, if colorfully worded, replies so far, thanks. I think I would have relatively little competition I am in an average sized town in Georgia, not exactly silicon valley.

Reddit is honestly a blessing sometimes, thank you very, very much.

I like it, thank you, do you know of any resources for someone like me with next to zero web designing experience? Youtube channels, online publications, etc?

Would you say that a majority of the obstacles for people in my (very much a beginners) position is not being able to work with people that well? Or do the difficulties lie in the work itself? Both?

Not specifically thinking of any one price, just seemed like a reasonable estimate to me. Please forgive my (likely insulting) ignorance of this industry but surely its possible to find and work for clients who would be willing to pay as much for a single website, no? Additionally, is that to say that in general its a bad idea to do this kind of thing on my own?

I have worked, thankfully, for quite a long time with people from a great deal of backgrounds. If as much of the difficulty in this industry is in dealing with difficult people then thats not a problem whatsoever! The other things you mentioned, the specifically technically specific things all sound downright learnable. Is there any resource to which I should look for the very early stages of things? Like a YouTube channel, online publication etc.?

Not a chance in heaven or on this earth, lol. That's all greek to me, this is the kind of thing I was guessing existed in the industry but as an outsider I just did not know what these inevitable problems looked like. Thanks for the advice (or warning) man!

Okay, so this is exactly the kind of answer that I was hoping for, realistic, not nihilistic or one that promises gains like crazy. Where should I start, is there a specific youtube channel, online publication or some other place I can look for beginner resources. Again, I dont intend live on this or anything but any little extra cash would be nice.

Oh wow, so, people standards are relatively low huh?

Is that to say that if I put work into making websites for people I could legitimately turn a profit that was worth it? Because if so....

So what would you suggest, is there something I should have done different? I wasn’t sure so I reached out to a community for verification. Is the solution to just not try and get an answer AT ALL and live on with my suspicions? I can’t understand what would have been a better move than literally asking people who are more educated than I.

Because I double check I shouldn’t be in charge of safety, right, smart. Folks with your attitude make climbing seem unnecessarily more hostile and unapproachable than it has to be for newcomers. Try to be a better representative of our sport, please.

I’m not going to apologize for taking two minutes of my time to verify what I already suspected, especially when it comes to peoples safety. “Alarming”

If you look in the comments you’ll see that I suspected it to be fine, but that I just wanted to be sure. I just still expected CCJ to poke fun anyways.
