What is needed to create a website?

Since the thesis about creating a site from scratch is already in the title, let's figure out what is needed to create a site that can make money, specifically from your person?

1. Knowledge and skills:

confident work at the computer (qualified PC or Mac user);
knowledge of the Internet from A to Z: from using e-mail to working with file hosting;
HTML and CSS basics, ability to create simple static sites: You should be able to create a website with your own hands, using html tags and CSS styles;
the basics of working with graphics in Photoshop (cropping pictures, simple effects, preparing pictures for a website);
ability to work with hosting, servers and FTP;
handling of domain names (registration, transfer, NS-servers);
installation and configuration of scripts;
skills of personnel management, business communication through the network.

Now I have listed only what immediately came to mind. And it’s not in vain that such items were included in the list: I can do all of the above and this is enough for me to create sites for making money myself and successfully monetize them.

You don’t need to be a super specialist in any particular area: a professional webmaster should be a manager who knows and can do everything himself, but hires narrow specialists (copywriters, SEO specialists, other freelancers) to do the job even better. This saves time that is spent on other things. Of course, at first I did everything myself (wrote texts, created websites and designs) and this helps a lot now to control the work of others. You will start with this too!
