They’re fine for entry level sites but if you want to compete for the bigger and better paying clients, you’ll want to learn to develop from scratch.

Aside from that, entrepreneurship can be a lonely journey. You’ll go against the grain a lot and you won’t exactly be “popular” in your family for it. You’re a grown adult though. Do your own thing. And when you succeed, your success will speak for itself. Your parents may still have negative opinions, but are you in it for them, or are you in it for YOU?
