Hi everyone! I'm an online ESL teacher and I'm looking to start my own business in this field. I want to create a personalized website that suits my style and needs. In the past, I had a good experience with W3Schools, so I'm thinking of starting there again for learning web design. Given that I work from home and have plenty of free time, I'm curious how long it might realistically take me to put together a working website if I fully dedicate myself to it. I'm not planning anything too complicated at first, but I'm committed to doing it myself instead of hiring someone. If you think W3Schools isn't the best option, I'm open to any direction. Thanks for your insights!

Just a quick question: are you planning to make money from your ESL skills or from web design? That might help clarify your focus in this project!
I appreciate your advice! I did think about Fiverr but with my current financial situation, I really can’t spend anything at the moment. I guess I’ll just have to dive in and learn as I go. And thanks for the tip about setting up a Google business profile - I’ll definitely do that!
You might want to consider that there are tons of affordable services that can handle this for you in no time. Honestly, the time you spend messing around with web design might be better spent focusing on your business or handing out flyers. If cost is a factor, platforms like Fiverr have people who can do it quickly for a reasonable price. Just a thought from someone who runs their own company and found it's often not worth doing everything alone.
From my experience, I recommend using something like WordPress (go for .org for more control and it's free). It took me a few weeks to get the hang of it, especially once I found a good theme. If you know a bit of CSS/HTML, you can tweak things to get them looking just right. But if your goal is to actually learn HTML/CSS/JS during the process, keep in mind that the learning curve for just setting up something basic isn't too steep.
