Looking to start a profitable online business - need an experienced computer programmer

[PaulConventionWV]

Dude. You blame your parents' ugly divorce on your wicked little sister...don't effin' talk to me about being "OF YOUR" moral standings.

What's with the animosity? Did I bring your personal matters into this? If you don't want anything to do with this, then don't respond. You're wasting my time.

First, I was DEFENDING the concept that people ought NOT be getting screwed over, by the very Contracts that are waved at others of us as "protection."

THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES. Second, I was suggesting that virtual guarantee of profits is unrealistic . . . it BEGS for bad blood.

Third, there IS a world of difference between "open to ideas" and "I will make all decisions." You kinda gloss over that.

I never promised profits. I said there would be risks. Plenty of them, too. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who has the capacity to help me carry out this project so I resorted to coming here where I can get flamed by people like you. I'm not here to argue, so please be kind enough to just leave if you're not interested.

Also, I never said I would "make all decisions."

Don't really have any free time, but am curious ... Will the site be static, or dynamic, as in content will be linked to a product database ?

It will make a huge difference in the capabilities of those you seek to employ.

Have you considered speaking to a local school that offers programs in web development ?
They might be able to hook you up with exactly what you need, and at the least, they might offer some guidance as you pursue this endeavour.

If it's really a cutting edge idea, have whoever you speak with, sign a disclosure statement.

This isn't an appropriate place for your topic.

Hire a programmer on scriptlance.com They will make your site exactly to your specifications for 300 to 500 dollars.

Also, you may think you are first to the market, but you probably aren't. I've used this site for years:

That's not what I had in mind at all.

Is it going to be like http://runkeeper.com/?

I need someone who knows HTML code and can start and maintain a website. If you're interested, PM me and we'll talk about what the plan is. This is a serious business, so there will be risks involved. Before we try this, I need to know that you'll be able to keep and maintain a consumer-based website, and also that you'll take this seriously so our efforts aren't wasted.

I don't want to give away too much information right now, but the idea I had in mind would open up new social networking possibilities geared toward runners. It has the potential to be very good business, since we will be the first in the market to try this exciting new idea. We can talk about the logistics and the contract in PM before we start the planning stage. I am open to ideas, but right now, that's what I had in mind, so you can let me know what you think of it once I tell you the details.

Graphic designing ability is a plus. I will be responsible for making the decisions of how to appeal to the market, since I was once heavily involved in it myself as a runner. If you would like to be a part of this new and original innovative idea, PM me and let me know how good you are. No athletic experience is required, but it couldn't hurt.

Shoot me a PM and we'll get started.

If you're looking to program your own website, here are some good resources for you

I prefer to do websites in ASP.net

First the basics of C# and html
C# tutorial
HTML tutorial

Then the website specific stuff

ASP.net Tutorial
ASP.NET MVC Tutorial



Another framework, which is similar, and also rather easy is Ruby on Rails, you can look for Ruby on Rails tutorials with google.

Nope. You guys are out of guesses. Thanks for playing.

To everyone, thank you, I think I have what I need now. This thread is now closed, as per my decree.
