Dre,
What exactly do you mean by "I'm planning on giving the users what they wanted all this time."? If you have a business partner that owns a web development company then why would coding or any of the intricacies of the website matter towards cost? Why would you need outside funding? How much capital are you trying to raise and what for?
Enjoy Life,
Nick
When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me."
