Not good in maths. Can I be a good coder?

Hi guys, I am online marketing professional. I know basic html and css. Now I want to learn programming (javascript and php). I am not good in mathematics. So my question is that can I be good in programming without being good in mathematics?

It's the difference between being "good" and "good enough". A good programmer is definitely good at math. They're skilled in calculus, asymptotic analysis, and writing proofs. Programming is math, and while you can write code without thinking too much about it, you'll never be as good as the best. Depending on what you want to do, however, you may be "good enough". Web design isn't too dependent on your thorough understanding of algorithms, so if that's all you're doing you'll likely get by just fine. But if you want to write a physics engine? You'll need to be good at math and analyzing efficiency.
