I’m a 50-year-old business owner trying to finally automate my business operations I’ve been doing manually since day one. My web building skills… well, let’s just say they’re very much in line with my age . So if you’re expecting sleek, millennial level coding chops, you might want to temper your expectations!
I’ve been experimenting with Bubble IO and even tried building using Gemini with ChatGPT prompts, but I’m hitting a wall. As you can imagine, cost saving is kind of my default mode (welcome to my era!), so I’ve been trying to do as much as I can on my own.
I’ve made peace with the fact that this is just not for me and decided to reach out for help. I need assistance to either complete what I’ve started or begin for scratch with either an existing template or start from blank slate.
Thanks in advance!

To those I’ve Stalked in your DM’s for help I SINCERELY APOLOGISE
Have you tried coaching? We also offer development work but if you are trying to do most of it by yourself and just get stuck, maybe coaching is for you. Hope to talk with you soon.
I can help. One of my coaching clients is also 50+ years old business owner. He has created a site with Bubble himself. He did 90%+ of the site, while I coached/helped him with the parts where he needed help.
My dad is in his 50s and owns one of the largest companies in the world, and is still coming up with ideas. Our family get-togethers can be exhausting
I would recommend that if you want help…and aren’t willing to learn on your own…which I’m sure you could with time, is to find someone with a good track record of helping other companies succeed.
I’m sure some on here fit that qualification. You’ve already gotten a couple of responses you could look into.
Good luck. And don’t think 50 is old in the business world!
Haha, I’m creeping toward 50 myself, so I feel you. I run a dev agency with a team of Bubble pros who rescue “I tried it myself” projects all the time. We can take what you’ve started or start fresh, get it done right, and save you the midnight workflow battles.

Age is a number. CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huang is still running one of the greatest companies in the world and he is over 60.
For your building on Bubble journey, you might want to take a look at @romanmg ‘s Coaching No Code App which is great for self-learning or coaching service(in case you need).
First off, thank you for sharing this so openly honestly, your post made me smile because it’s super relatable. Bubble really does have that learning curve where you feel like you’re “almost there” but then hit a wall. And trust me, you’re not alone I’ve seen startups, agencies, and even tech-savvy folks face the exact same challenges.
The good news is, you don’t need millennial-level coding chops to bring your vision to life. What you do need is the right partner to translate your business operations into a clean, automated Bubble build that actually saves you time and money in the long run.
I’ve worked on several Bubble projects from automation-heavy internal tools to cvlient-acing apps with integrations, workflows, and custom dashboards so I’d be happy to step in and help you either polish what you’ve already started or rebuild it in a more scalable, future-proof way.
Either way, you’ve already done the hardest part: taking the leap to finally automate things. The rest we can tackle together .
