To be honest, it wasn't about costs. I'm just the type of guy who doens't know exactly what he wants until he gets his hands dirty. Sure, I could have went to a developer and said things like, "I like these colors," "I want to say this," "I want this sort of logo," etc etc.

But quite honestly, I didn't know what I wanted. I didn't even know what I wanted to say, what colors I wanted, how I wanted it to look, or any of that.

I also didn't know programming.

So I picked something that would make it easy without knowing programming but would allow me to get my hands dirty.

And quite honestly, I'm in love with what it turned out to be. It's built completely out of my passion and from my heart, which may sound corny, but it means a lot to me.

But these roadblocks are worrisome now.

Sure, a designer could have done it more efficiently, I'm sure. But it wouldn't be the same from my perspective if that makes any sense. I was planning on handing it off to a developer to 'clean it up' once I had the basic outline complete.

Why is dreamweaver good? Do you have to know web coding (or whatever it's called) to use it?

I was recommended hostgator on another site and was told the transition of moving my stuff from homestead would be pretty simple. But who knows.
