I am entrepreneur that has a small business I am trying to scale. We’re moving away from a custom coded platform (MVP1) to a no-code / low code web application (MVP2) I am in the process of building. I am not an engineer, but how likely could I learn enough web dev to manage MVP2 ?

Heyo! I am an entrepreneur that’s been in the music industry x startup space for a while. I’ve made a career move where I want to get closer to “tech x creators” and have found a pretty lucrative niche I am super amped about. I get to help creatives and a build useful web application that is actually being used and helping people. We have product market fit and validation and a very solid growth strategy. The hard part is the current website is breaking (it‘s JS and PHP) and I can’t scale rapidly without worrying about it breaking. Our cash flow isn‘t at a point where I can comfortably higher a quality full-time engineer (ya’ll ain’t cheap) but with a no-code / low-code app I’ve put together the skeleton for I can scale pretty quickly to a point where I can raise (we already have two very serious investors and a prominent record label with a “participation right” due to an accelerator we did with them)

I am in the process of hiring no code / low code engineers to help us put together all the moving parts, it’s not super complicated, but obviously takes time to do it right and as someone who doesn’t know coding I am at the mercy of foreign independent contractors.

Once the new web application is done it’ll be a combination of webflow, active campaign, Auth0, typeform, zapier, two no code applications, stripe, and Airtable. My question is how likely could I learn how to manage Webflow (CSS, HTML, JS) as well as some of the more backend automations and relations like Auth0 and Zapier? I just want to be able to fix my own copy, create and add my own marketing pages, manage and create the SSO between the apps, manage that integration of various apps and marketing and data needs and so fourth. Almost like a full stack no code engineer I guess? My skill set is on the business development, revenue growth, partnerships, marketing, client management side and I have little to none coding experience so I am just trying to get enough experience to manage MVP2 of my small little growing startup.

Any advice or resources or reality checks is super appreciated!
