How can you create a website?

How can I create a start up networking website if I do not know how to code/program?

  • I am working on developing a startup company, which would require me to create a social networking website, somewhat like Facebook in design, but totally different in terms of function. The only problem is that I do not know how to code or design a website. I am not sure if I trust someone who does know how to code to develop the website and keep me as a partner. Is there any way to keep this from happening? I have the vision but I need the programming skills, which I am not even at the beginner level. How could I go about creating this site? Please only serious answers. Thank you so much!

  • Answer:

    You're going to have to HIRE a programmer/developer to do the work for you. There is really no getting around that. Developers don't work for free normally unless it's something we're really passionate about. Time to spend some of that start up capitol.

If you are serious about starting an online business, expect to spend serious cash. For social networking, you will need to hire a PHP programmer or a developer with extensive experience in server side scripting. Designing and developing are a thing apart. You will need to find a designer who has attractive design patterns and logical concepts for what you plan on achieving. All said, you can expect at least 2k startup cost. It's best to outsource your work to several contractors because A) you aren't revealing the entire scope of your project to a single person/company, and B) most importantly, you are dedicating each individual aspect of your project to person(s) that are good at their niche like PHP development or web design. Good places to start hiring are sites like http://freelancer.com . http://odesk.com and http://elance.com . For this type of project, I'd suggest starting with odesk only because though personal experience, they have the best project management workflow. Best of luck.

Do you have any money? If you don't have money, then you are probably dead in the water from the get go. If you do have money, do you have enough? If you don't have, or know how to raise a few million, then you are probably dead in the water from the get go. If you have the money, then you would hire a lawyer to write up an NDA, then you would hire 1 or more software engineers, and probably a few programmers to start the software development process to convert your vision into a product, and they will need to sign the NDA. The NDA will give you legal grounds to stand on should someone try to steal your idea. A good vision, a good lawyer a few $million and some good software development people is about all you need. Good luck with that.

You don't need to know coding in order for you to create the website. There are plenty of software programs that teach you how to make your own websites. For special functionalities though, I would think that you would need to know some programming.

Learn to program first then do this. Start off with something simple e.g: <?php echo "Hello World!"; ?> This is PHP, a widely used Programming language
