Hi, I'll happily quote on this project for you.
You actually don't need to be very technical at all, I find. But you do need to specify as best as possible as many details as you can muster. If you're interested, please get back to me with the following details: - what you need to be able to do with the CMS - ie what do you need to edit / what content do you need to manage? text, and... pictures? audio? video? anything? everything? - what kinds of products you want to be able to sell, and how, and what the process would be for the cart and showcase site - ebay, etsy and amazon are all VERY different to each other - what kind of payment methods (ie one off, subscription, timed, other?) would you like to accept, and what sort of ongoing fees do you envisage for this - what sorts of capabilities does this social networking platform need to allow (ie instance messaging? email-like messaging? applications? as specific as you can be). - what your idea for budget is... (this is simply what you're thinking - doesn't need to be the amount it WILL be). I can give you a fairly good estimate of what's possible ---------------------------------------------- Learn: http://sensei.zenunit.com/ Last updated 20-May-09 (Rails, Basic Unix) Blog: http://random8.zenunit.com/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/random8r On 27/05/2009, at 5:41 PM, Courtney wrote: > > Non-developer here with a new start-up, looking for a Good Samaritan. > I'm working on the spec for a web application that may or may not be a > complex site.
