Thank you this is an extremely helpful post for us to at least get some of our bearings. In response to your pointers:
1. When you mention that you can buy pre-completed frameworks, where might we be able to search or inquire about that, and where can we get a pet-site framework? Would it be necessary to buy another pet site, seeing that a pre-bought framework would have to emulate one? What languages are these templates most often written in?
I can certainly start saving money to buy a template, and if it saves us some money and largely eliminates the need for continuously pay to a developer for hundreds of hours of service, I'm all for it.
2. I'll be sure to look into the website regarding that server and forums, thanks for that tip!
3. Hmm yea from what you are saying perhaps there is a lot to the front-end development I can learn on my own if need, as of now I'm going to learn HTML for sure. But yea, if we end up needing to hire someone it would be on a per-project basis I suspect.
