Hey all,
As the title says, im interested in starting a website that provides a service. I have a breif concept in my head (that still needs lots of fine tuning) and am wondering how to procede - preferably with advice from people who have been-there, done-that.

It will either be subscription based or a one-off fee. Or perhaps $X per lead.

My question is, what is the best way to proceed as I am someone with no web design skills (and no interest in learning it in-depth). Should I find a web designer locally and offer to work together on the project in return for equity, or are souces like elance suitable for this (im worried about getting rubbish code and wasting money - and working with someone so far away).

Also, is there anyone who has done something like this, that will be willing to share a few emails over the next few weeks for any small questions I may have?

I know there are no direct competitors, and the market is quite large. PhxMJ has breifly identified/mentioned the idea has potential in another post so it must be good :rofl:

Thanks,
Matt
