Should you create a startup?

I had an interesting idea for a startup. The product is a website. The problem is that I have no programming experience, I studied the theory of web programming (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JQuery, MySQL, PHP, Laravel) and now I am consolidating my knowledge on a study project. Naturally, I can’t make a site designed for high loads, I can make a working prototype at most. Please advise whether I should make a prototype and then, if the site is successful with users, look for investors to hire a team of professional programmers or order development from a third-party company to get a highload version of the product, or postpone the idea for several years until I growing up to the level of middle/senior developer?

Write a prototype, dump it into production, simultaneously propping it up with crutches and every penny into improvement.
While you bring it to the ideal, others will make it out of shit and sticks, but it will already be profitable while you hone your skills. I am writing from my own sad experience.

It is better to try to create than to sit and think whether I will succeed or not.

Although. if the product is just a website...

Don't worry about Hyload. To get at least 1000 regular visitors per day to the site - it can take a year ))))))
At the very least, to start with, you will cover the "highload" with just a higher payment for hosting.
Then, as soon as the money is trampled, you will remake it under the highload.
Finding a good specialist is terribly expensive. To interest him in profit is unrealistic, he earns more per month than your project will bring in the first 2 years.
Prototype yourself.
It is also impossible to interest an investor until a clear profit is visible.
Take profit yourself.

There is another investment option - family, fools and friends (this is a term from the West).
