Novice programmer - will I need to bring in an outside programmer for this project (Javascript)
<p>I am familiar with HTML and javascript and will begin building a (wordpress) website promoting a CPA exam (I'm an MS accounting student) review that I think will be unlike any out there and  sell very well (4 exams and each review around $39). I'm only giving this background to show my intent is authentic and not the typical "start a website make $$" type thing.</p>

<p><strong>My question is about the depth that the website will have and whether it would be better to bring in a freelance coder or learn to develop the more complicated aspects myself.</strong></p>

<p>The website will have an interface where paid users will login and go through a series of quizzes in the form of checkbox, drop down menus, and others.  Each page/quiz area could have 20-100 total checkboxes in a series of 3-5 rows because of the comprehensive nature of CPA exam.</p>

<p>This I can do - I know how to code the quiz and return a correct or incorrect answer based on each individual checkbox and present a cumulative score (ie: you got 57% correct).</p>

<p>The issue lies in the fact that I would like to save the users results and keep them informed of their progress. When they complete all of the quizzes, I would like to have a visual output of their performance in each area. <strong>Storing the output from their results offline is where I think I may run into a problem with my lack of coding experience.</strong> I would also like to have a sidebar with their progress of each section (10-15) with a green percentage completion bar or a % correct which would draw from this.</p>

<p>I have never had to code something that stores information like this offline - so back to my question - would it be better to learn the language needed or bring in a coder/developer for the back end stuff.</p>

<p>Thanks - heard great things about this forum.</p>
