Before you think you have a great idea, think of the following.
I have had many phone calls and inquiry over the years were clients or potential clients think that by simply having what they think to be a great idea they are entitled to have developers do the programming for a percentage of the profits. This is not only really annoying but above that it is a misleading and an empty conception. If you have a great idea and you would like a developer(s) to successfully create a system in were your dreams are materialized you must follow these rules.
a. Have a list of objectives that you want your website or idea to achieve. Don’t estimate or assume a project is to require certain programming languages, this is very counter active and you put the developer in a position were they have to correct you. A developer does not want to correct you as your the client. Unless you are a tech major or have spent many years programming and developing websites or software its good advice to let professionals decide what programming languages and systems they will utilize according to your objectives. Just because you learned to save on dream weaver hardly makes you an expert on web site development.
b. If your idea is so great and well planned out this should be an investment. You’re going to have to spend money. If you find a guy out there that will do it for a fraction of the price beware! More than likely you will get very poor service. I person who charges at these rates don’t understand the scope of the job they are committing to. After a while they will feel the burden of completing the project at such a low rate. Then he will get a phone call from you barking over the phone over the project. Then he vanishes, you ask yourself why? Now you will have to find another developer and you are smart enough to pay for what its worth, too late you already lost the development money in the first project. Bottom line of your not willing to pay for good work to enable your dream then that dream is not worth much for you and it was never meant to be.
c. Choose a good development team that is local. There are many development teams out here that have exceptional service and rates for example there are Web design teams these group of developers are local to Los Angeles, have good reputation, great portfolio, referrals and deliver every time. Don’t make the mistake of hiring intern’s kids with no experience just to save a few bucks. In the long run it will cost you big.
The conclusion is if you want a great structure to enable your website idea you need a professional development team and your going to have to make an investments is time and money. If your not willing to make this commitment its better off you try a different business model as your wasting your time and money.
