I'm good friends with a web developer/designer and also know a few programmers.
I have an idea of a website that I would like to get started on but feel it will involve a bit more complexity.
Question is, how should I approach my potential partner if I want to maintain most of the control and revenue if the site ever does generate some? I guess some of the factors would be who would be fronting some of the initial expenses and doing most of the work. Should a contractual agreement be formulated and signed by both parties prior to starting the venture?
