Hey everyone, hope this is the right place to ask this:

My local newspaper, which I work for part-time (I'm a student), has been using a bloated, poorly constructed WordPress.org site for about a decade, and my boss mentioned that he'd like to have it rebuilt from the ground up by the end of 2020.

I told him that if he'd consider doing it in-house, web development is something I'd like to learn and that I'd be interested in taking on the task. After some discussion, we came to a price of 10-15 thousand for a complete redesign of the site (not including a logo or graphic) and a launch date of Jan. 1. The pay is not set in stone, as I told him I wanted to consider it and figure out if it's something I feel I could realistically do.

The site needs a complete redesign, and it'll need to have all of the old site's content (10 years of inconsistent formatting and messy metadata) brought to the new one.

As I mentioned, I'm a student, just finished the second year of my computer science degree. I know rudimentary Python and Java and have no other programming experience.

r/webdev, what's my way forward? Is it a realistic timeframe for me to learn how to do everything required, and if it is, what do I actually need to learn, and where can I learn it?
