Hi everyone,
I am currently researching an idea that I had come up with a little while back. It's not anything new here in Australia but I have found the market to have very few competing companies within the same market place - and of those that are, only a very small number actually have well designed and performing websites. Their marketing as well has a lot of be desired. I think there is good opportunity here without considering the fact the sector is expected to experience large consistent growth over the oncoming years. It's a good source of reoccurring revenue and if designed correctly, the website should be able to facilitate the business transactions without having to be involved. Completely user to user.
My main issue at the moment is the sheer cost of building this platform. I am not too bad with computers but by no means a programmer or web developer. In fact I have started to learn programming through Udemy which has been really good, very time consuming, but it got me thinking whether I should start looking into other options to build the site. I have been in contact with a company to cost up the system, they have come up with some great ideas and they produce quality products. I have a meeting with them shortly to go over the final details and have a completed quote for the build but initial expectations are in the 50k - 70k AUD range with that rising dependent on features I want to be inclusive.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and decided to partner with a developer (50/50) to bring their project off the ground and keep their costs reduced? I was thinking about whether I should find a developer, launch the platform and continue to develop into the final product I envision. At the same time, without forking out 50-70k, I can act, assess and adjust depending on what the market does.
Wouldn't have a clue where to find a developer that might be willing to do this - thinking someone young. Maybe find uni grads?
Thoughts?
