Need web designers/developers...

[MistaDobalina]

I have an idea for an online community that charges about $30 a year for service. I need people to start, design, and run my website though.

My site will hold a lot of text and maybe a lot of pictures as well as music and video clips. How much is it going to create and run a site like this?

Got any contacts that can help?

Also, can someone answer my incredibly noob question: can i get a patent on a website idea?

If what you want to do is just a unique combination of site features that others have created (music, video clips, text) and patent the site, I think it's going to be very difficult...(I don't think "ideas" alone can be patented though...).

The cost of running the site depends on how active it is and how much storage/bandwidth you'll be needing. If you've got lots of members, it will cost you quite a bit.

You've given a very brief description of the script you want someone to make...basically, the more elaborate a script, the more expensive. A good logo alone will cost you around $40-$100...that should give you an idea of what the graphics alone will cost.
