I'm trying to help my brother create an affiliate blog focused on travel destinations across all fifty states. I've got some knowledge of HTML, CSS, and PHP, and I'm pretty good with Figma and Adobe tools, but I currently don't have access to my Adobe and web builder subscriptions. I've started coding this site from scratch, but it's turning into a much bigger project than I anticipated. We're considering an interactive map to show these destinations, and I'm starting to doubt if my skills are enough for this massive endeavor. I have an associate's degree in graphic and web design, but I've never undertaken something of this scale before. Given my current knowledge, is it realistic for me to pull this off?

Definitely need more details on what you're planning. Are you aiming for a simple blog design, or are you thinking of adding features like user logins? The scope will really determine what you can do!
You might want to consider using WordPress.org with some plugins to help you manage an interactive map. Trying to write about all the travel destinations is pretty ambitious; you could simplify things to make it more manageable.
Absolutely, PHP and HTML/CSS can manage a site that size, but building everything by hand would be a lot. For the interactive map you want, learning JavaScript will be essential since PHP doesn’t handle client-side stuff.

You can make it work, but for an interactive map, JavaScript is a must. PHP alone won't suffice because it's mainly for server-side operations. Consider using a CMS like WordPress to ease the burden and allow for flexibility in design.
