JOURNEY: I have finally created a brand new personal CMS from scratch literally..

First, I AM not a coder.. more of a webmaster. know some css.
I can't build a responsive website from scratch type.

So I finally finished my Barebones CMS (-ALL READ, NO WRITE), ULTRA fast, ULTRA light weight, scores 99-100% on insights.. etc
Note that this script is just BARE BONES. No fancy stuff like mechbunny or adultpro script, etc..
Basically it has 5 fields via admin
- Title
- Permalink URL
- Description
- Tags
- Video Code

corePHP was used for front end < I wanted near static level
Laraval used for admin module

My Journey-

took 3 months of careful designing / planning / documenting every corner of the design
2 1/2 more months of endlessly jumping from coder to coder and getting the security issues fixed from FIVERR CODER! I have only used upWORK after FIVERR.. Including
- Pixel perfect design
- Endlessly interviewing each coder, searching...
- American programmers are just straight up expensive @ 60 to $120 per hour. I feel like they'll just outsource the work whenever if hire them. Specially the old looking US coders via profile.

I still had TO do some things myself. it doesn't matter how much you pay them, there are some things some of the people on there can't do.. that ONLY i'm able to do pixel perfect wise.

- Besides the terrible coding. Fiverr was a bitch because I had to explain to each coder what I needed over and over.
- You will need to hire security experts and gather everything they told you about your script and ask the potential coders what the security experts tells you to filter out the bad ones.

BUT anyway, I am finally free from Commerical scripts, and WORDPRESS. Wooo.

No more patching, no more SQL injections, no more hacks, ultra fast.

Originally, i thought i could get away with this for $1000 to 1200 USD but i think it costed me near $2k all in all..
The part that took the longest was the endless chatting with devs
