[consulting] Drupal web design as hobby - shall I start consulting?

[Larry Garfield]

Who said anything about modifying Drupal modules?  A good Drupal module is 
designed to be extended by add-on modules, not by modifying it directly.  If 
you need to modify it directly you submit a patch. :-)

Almost every site I've built has had some degree of custom code in a site-
specific module or two, as well as template preprocess functions or theme 
override functions.  That's not something to fear, necessarily.  But yes, 
document document document.
