How can a newfag "make" a website?

Question

css

Such a thing. He got a job as a PR-manager in an architectural company. Another person works in the field of advertising - a girl, she is engaged in outdoor advertising, business cards, leaflets and other similar things. As a result, it turned out that it was necessary to do email newsletters. Okay, I have basic HTML and CSS skills, I read articles, found constructors with templates, I make them, I send them out.
The bosses Made in USSR with all the consequences.
Next is the site. In a rotten state, without visits, without use. Wrote tags. Submitted pages for indexing. Began to "Yandexize" in a week. Hosting on a site-constructor with your own domain. I made it prettier, took it away from the limit on the number of landing pages (Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V). People went to the site.
Now they say they have to do it again. To be beautiful, bright, attractive. They show landings - they say, you need to do this. Or to at least look like it. Take this "cool menu" from here, steal the slider. I look and wonder where I am. I took free lessons at HTML-academy and learned a lot of new things. However! All this is not enough to just sit down and start "writing" this landing page. Drag code from strangers is not an option. There is JS, which I don’t understand yet, and much more.
Question: is it realistic to do this work in a month or two, allotted to me? There is a desire and time to learn. The topic is interesting. For me, this is now like a chance to pass a stress test, gaining important knowledge, skills and experience.

Answer 1

As mentioned above, if it’s completely crap, find a freelance person who will make a landing page.
Option number 2 - buy a landing page designer (~14$) and drag the necessary elements onto the layout. Correct the text and the fish is in the bag (but again, it’s one thing to concoct something ready-made from the finished one, and it’s quite another to understand how this whole kitchen is.)
Option number 3 - all sorts of free designers and software ala 2008-2010 to create sites.
Option number 4 - If you really have at least basic knowledge and understanding, then I can tell you what, how, where and why. The most important thing is the TK for the site. Because a simple landing page is one thing, but then they want another blog with all the consequences. So here you need to think, perhaps on the CMS which layout to plant.
Option number 5 - look for a free, beautiful landing template, in which, as they said, change the text, fish, pictures, can fix something.
Those. Again, online courses are one thing, live practice is another.

Answer 2

Do it in parallel: both learn and download a more or less suitable and modern html5 layout. A minimum of knowledge is enough for you to replace the fish text with your own ... well, or find a freelancer, if you really pressed it. But you must understand that in a month and a half of such a "teaching" it will turn out crap anyway, so study with all your might!

Answer 3

If you have a desire, do it. But be prepared to give yourself a bump, both from leadership and inexperience. By the way, you will have to deal with JS, and more precisely with JQuery. So it is necessary to study them, at least superficially.
And, in general, it will be easier to hire someone from the outside (me, for example (:, just kidding). There will be less hemorrhoids both for you and for management.
