I wanted to start my website on my niche, but I was not able to afford a professional web designer. So with whatever knowledge of Forntpage and templates I had, I started one. As time passed, I became more aware of things like PHP, CSS, databases, etc and now my site runs of such things.

For me it started as a result of being not able to afford a designer. Now its my hobby! I don't design it for other(I have poor graphical skills but quite good programming skills). I use my skills for my purpose like I had to build and online testing centre, etc and try to help other people at the forums.
