Help for making Sheet for a new system

Hi there! I would like to ask for some help with the subject in the title. I've made a RPG system and I want it to be playable here, on the Roll20. Problem is: Even though I've subscripted the Pro plan, I have none (or almost none, to be fair) knowledge  on coding. Question 1: Can anyone tell me is there's a easier way to make a character sheet? Question 2: Is it possible to build a compendium of my system, on Roll20, as well? Question 3: Are you drinking enough water? Stay hydrated. The character sheet in the rulebook is the following:
I've never made a sheet but have modified quite a few for my own use. Answer 1: Find a character sheet that is close to what you want in format and appearance, and modify it to meet your requirements.&nbsp; There are quite a few sheets available here:&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="https://github.com/Roll20/roll20-character-sheets" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Roll20/roll20-character-sheets</a> If&nbsp; you want to start from scratch these two sites can help: <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_grid_layout/Basic_concepts_of_grid_layout" rel="nofollow">https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_grid_layout/Basic_concepts_of_grid_layout</a> <a href="https://cybersphere.me/roll20/" rel="nofollow">https://cybersphere.me/roll20/</a> Answer 2: I've no experience with compendiums on Roll20. Not much I know: figured it is a good start at least.&nbsp;

That is a good start, though I might be biased, being the writer of <a href="https://cybersphere.me/roll20/" rel="nofollow">https://cybersphere.me/roll20/</a> Finding a sheet that is similar to what you want can be hard, and modifying someone else's sheet is likely to be hard, but if you are lucky enough to get one that is very close to what you want, that is absolutely the easiest way to go. Getting familiar with CSS Grid is also very useful. The first link above is about Grid, and I have weekly series that will be starting on Thursday and running through September that will hopefully give the basics on that. Once you start digging, you mght be tempted to use TABLE: resist that temptation. It will limit your ability to share the sheet - CSS Grid is better, anyway.
My friends, first of all, thank you very much for all the guidance! To be honest, I don't believe I can handle this part, even though I created the systems for this RPG. I believe that the best thing would be for me to try to find someone who is better able to learn from the material compiled by GiGs. Do you believe that, for this, the best type of professional is a programmer?

Programmers can do it, but you're looking for a webdesigner. You might be surprised at the prices though (which is why a lot of people do it themselves).
Hehehe... you're probably entirely right, my friend. And by the way, thanks for the support, again. But I believe that any amount spent on this will end up being an investment in my RPG project. In any case, I would like to congratulate you on the exquisite care you put into compiling it - it was extremely organized and didactic.
Is it possible to invite a free account member to build the custom sheet with me? I've just hired a web designer to do the work =D

It is not. Look into using the Custom Sheet Sandbox at this link <a href="https://app.roll20.net/sheetsandbox" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/sheetsandbox</a>. You'll then create the sheet in external files, and upload them as needed. So you could both work on the files, and you upload them to see the changes. PS: thank you!
