I have an extremely complex database driven website all planned out.  But have no money to get it started.  Where can I find a web developer, willing to work for free, and share the remaining profits?

Do you have a business plan? I am not looking now, so don't ask, but I have taken profit sharing plans in the past. One thing I always required was a detailed business plan. After all, if I'm doing the work, I want to know that I will eventually get something out of it.

You dont need to pay anyone to start your own website. Its free but you may want to buy some cheap web page software. You probably already have webspace through your internet provider. Check into affiliate programs, kmart, walmart, shopko, tons of them! Everytime someone purchases something thru your site you will receive a commission. Just look for the affiliate links. When you are happy with your site you may want to obtain a domain name. This will make it easier for the public to find. You can purchase a domain name for as little as 3 dollars a year. Yahoo provides this service. The hardest part of running an internet business is pushing your site. Be prepared once it is up and running to spend many hours poking your site down peoples throat! After you get it rolling the rewards can be great!

If you are interested in something more, but still fairly simple try GeoCities or Yahoo.\n\nIf you are willing to learn HTML I would suggest ATSPACE.COM. You can create a website for FREE up to 50MBs in size. I have two websites through them and the uptime is great. NO ADS, NO BANNERS. You'll need an ftp program to upload your stuff. There's a good free one for personal use called "FTP Explorer". Of course you'll either need to learn HTML or use one of the WYSIWYG programs like FrontPage or DreamWeaver to actually design your site. e-mail me if you need some help...\n\nIf you want your own domain and have it hosted, I suggest ReadyHosting. You get 1GB of space unlimted e-mail accounts, FTP access and domain name registration all for $99 a year.\n\nWeb hosting site (FREE):\nhttp://www.atspace.com\nWeb hosting site (COST):\nhttp://www.readyhosting.com\nFTP Explorer site:\nhttp://www.ftpx.com\n\nA couple of my websites:\nPioneer Baseball Website (ReadyHosting - Cost)\nhttp://www.pioneerbaseball.org\nMy Son's Travel Team's Website (ATSpace.com - FREE)\nhttp://tricountytitans.atspace\nFamily Website (ATSpace.com - FREE)\nhttp://tim8w.atspace.com

If you're looking for a totally free site, check out yahoo, geocities, angelfire, or my space. If you are looking for something a little more polished, there are lots of great tools out there that are helpful, including sites that offer templates and help you get started. I have been impressed with the tools and service of GoDaddy (www.godaddy.com). If you'd like to learn more about the process, consider buying this book, which outlines the process, step-by-step: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764507206/103-8389304-7234204?v=glance&n=283155\n\nHere's some tips from http://website-design.mcdar.net/:\n\nSo you want to build a website here I will explain some simple but also key aspects that are commonly taken in to consideration when a website developer creates a website.\n\n1) Website Design - The website design must be neat meaning that everything looks like where it is meant to be (nothing out of place or out of proportion). Also your sites design is related to the topic of your website e.g. your site is about flowers then your design must have flowers.\n\n2) Site Navigation - Visitors must be able to get where they want to go without going through a maze a good way of putting it if you can get there in 3 clicks it should be fine. Also it helps when search engine spiders go through your site since it makes it easy for the spiders to index the site.\n\n3) Domain Name - Domain name is important since it is one of the first thing that your visitors will see. Your domain should relate to your site topic or business name. Length of the domain usually 6-8 characters is a good length and easy for visitors to type.\n\n4) Scroll Bars - don't make your website pages too long so your visitors have to scroll for hours it is also a good option to just create another page and don't make people scroll side to side.\n5) Returning Visitors - make your visitors return to your site by adding one or all to your site:\n\n- Email Newsletter (Ezine)\n- Community Forums\n- Online Tools\n- Online Games\n- Useful Content\n- Competitions and Prizes\n- and so on\n\n5) Website Logo - Make your logo unique and brandable so that people will remember your logo and then will remember your site and products.\n\nThese are some simple points that you may take into consideration when you build your website if you need some further assistance have a look at your competitors website and see what they have done. Remember what you put in is what you get out of your website and on that note GOOD LUCK and enjoy the whole process of building your very own virtual property.\n\n\nAll that said, if you'd like something simple and quick, here's the company that made my website, and they charged me less than $300. I knew nothing about doing it, but it came out great and they guided me every step of the way: www.wordtechs.com.\n\n\nGood luck with your new venture!\n~Tia~

I try different ones and even Godaddy.com but I found a better one for me because I don't know nothing about web designing or HTML programming. Just go to Cogni360host.co.nr they offer a lot more for a good price. The basic package which is $5.95/month have way more than the premium packages form other companies.\n\nThey also give you a free domain name or url, free web templates, and a free online web site builder that is really easy to use... No programming necesary.\n\nJust take a look at their web site...\n\nHope you the best man.

4 years ago I was in similar situation as yours, I was trying to find ways to earn some extra income on top of my day job as web designer.\n\nThe only thing I did at that time was going around to meet people and told them I was a web designer. Until one day, someone who did some photo-shooting for me, found out what I was doing and asked if I would help re-design her old web site and I took it up right away. \n\nAfter I completed her site, she referred her other photographer partner to me, and then the new customer referred another friend, and the rest was history.\n\nSo my point here being: you need to go out and tell people what you do. It's that simple!\n\nIf you are a shy person (whom 98% of web developers happen to be), you could start by writing some nifty scripts and offer them in script repository sites for free, such as Hotscripts.com, Needscripts.com, Freshmeat.com etc. \n\nThat way, if people like your scripts and download to use it, they will contact you when they get into difficulty getting things to work, and many of times, they would not mind paying you money to fix them. That is how you can build up your rapport. It is one of the better ways to show people what you are capable of.\n\nAnd the best part is, since you still have your day job, you have all the time in the world for you to develop your own script and still get the paycheck every end of the month.\n\nAnother thing you can do: which is also what I'm doing (and I'm giving it away for free), is to start looking around the web for some web designers' web site, find those that were not properly coded (such as without a proper contact form etc), and offer them your service to help them spruce up their web site with your scripting skill (if that is what you are good at).\n\nDoing so, you may not get paid the first time, but have faith that the next time they get a freelance job, they will count you in for the scripting part (more than 70% of web designers out there are lack of scripting skills, many didn't even know HTML!)\n\nSo in summary, my friend, all you need to do is just stretch out your hand and tell the world about what you are doing. Money don't fall from sky, even if they did, you still need to do some running to reach for them and grab them. Good luck.\n\nDean Loh\nhttp://deanloh.com\nP/s: I run a web design company and I'm on the lookout for good people to work with, contact me if you would like to show me what you can do.

Well, I suppose you can do it on any website you create. Just subscribe to Yahoo Web Hosting for $11.95 a month. Then they give you Yahoo SiteBuilder software for free and anyone can do anything really easy with their software. No html coding. They do it for you and you just click away and presto.

What do you mean with "real website"? a "dot com" domino?\nNo, there isn't. Only subordinated sites as geocities, yahoo, msn and others offer us free spaces to do it.\nActually you don't need pay to have your own website, you have to pay to have your own domino (like mypage.ownsite.me) registered in DNS databases.

It is not so much a program that you need but more like a server side programming technology (i.e. ASP, ColdFusion, ASP .NET, PHP, JSP, ...etc.) that you need.  With these server side technologies, you can use database with your web site.  \n\nI am a web developer by trade.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

I develop web pages for a living. I found it easier to work in this profession using a programming language like PHP together with MYSQL. I like my job, not too much interaction with people. The only hangup is the sitting all day, but if you get a great job, or end up working from home, you can work around that.\n\nWith a little creativity, you can create a website like this one in about 3 days by yourself.\n\nI got a job before I was even out of school. Turned out the guy would have hired me even without my education, because someone like me was in high demand.

There's several places you can get a free website including from Yahoo (their service is called Geocities).\n\nIf you're serious about creating a website and want one that looks professional then I wouldn't consider a free site, there are many paid for sites that need only cost you a few dollars a month.\n\nHere's some of the things to consider about free sites...\n\n-- 1 --\nYou're often restricted in the type of files you can have, some sites don't allow MP3's or video files for example.\n\n-- 2 --\nThere's usually a bandwidth limit (this is the amount of data that's downloaded).  It normally doesn't take long to reach the bandwidth limit and when this happens the site becomes unavailable - you've probably come across such sites yourself.  The bandwidth limit is often hourly and also monthly.  If you hit your hourly limit your site will be down for about an hour but if you hit your monthly limit if could be down for days or even weeks.\n\n-- 3 --\nMost free sites have a limit to the amount of space you have to store your site.  Large files such as music and video will very quickly fill the space.  Simple text pages don't use much space but when you start adding a few graphics this can soon add up.\n\n-- 4 --\nThere's rarely any technical support with free sites other than user forums.  If something goes wrong it's up to you to sort it out.\n\n-- 5 --\nSome copmpanies that provide free sites are 'here today and gone tomorrow' - just what you need if you've spent ages designing a nice site.  Others are initially free but then state you have to pay or your site will be deleted.  To avoid this stick with the well known and established names such as Tripod/Lycos and Yahoo/Geocities.\n\n-- 6 --\nFree sites are often limited in what you can do, a lot won't support PSP or MySql, some don't even support Java.  Could mean that features such as forums, blogs, guestbooks etc aren't possible on your site.\n\n-- 7 --\nA free site has to pay for itself somehow, no company is going to give away webspace without getting something in return.  One common practice is to place adverts on your site.  Sometimes these ads are themed and related to your site but other times they're completely unrelated.\n\n-- 8 --\nOften the site isn't transferable except to a paid for service provided by the same company.  This can be a serious problem if your site becomes popular and you need to move it somewhere that can accomodate your growing needs.\n\n-- 9 --\nOften any extras are hugely expensive, if for example you want to buy more data transfer (bandwidth) you could easily be paying $1 per GB.  It might not sound a lot but if you're also paying for more web storage space and access to certain tools it will work out far more expensive than having a paid-for site.\n\n-- 10 --\nYou won't get your own domain name so instead of having xyzcompany.com you'll have something like freewebhostingcompany/xyzcompany.com.\n\n-- FREE SITES --\nIf you still want a free website then this page here... http://www.free-webhosts.com/search-webhosts.php is an excellent resource as it compares no less than 545 different free webhosts complete with reviews and user comments for each one.\n\nHere's some links to the 4 most popular free webhosts...\n\nLycos Tripod (CNet rating 9 out of 10)\nhttp://www.tripod.lycos.com/ \n\nLycos Angelfire (CNet rating 6 out of 10)\nhttp://angelfire.lycos.com/\n\nYahoo Geocities (CNet rating 8 out of 10)\nhttp://geocities.yahoo.com/home/ \n\nExpress Page (CNet rating 4 out of 10)\nhttp://www.expage.com/\n\n-- PERSONAL RECOMENDATION --\nIf you want a decent site with a wide range of tools and virtually no restirictions then go for a paid one.  They're not expensive and you'll have infinitely more flexibility to design and expand your site.\n\n1 and 1 is the world's number one webhosting company where you can get a site for as little as

You can use Yahoo Geocities http://geocities.yahoo.com/join/ where you have the option of starting a website for free or low cost hosting of $8.95 per month.\n\nOr you can use Yahoo Small Business Hosting http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhosting/compare.php where hosting plans range from $11.95 to $39.95\n\nFree is good for personal websites but has significant limitations for a web-based operation. For one, having a geocities web address does not look professional - it just looks cheap. You also need to consider the following:\n\n- Scalability: what if your business grows and you need more features. This means you will move to a paid hosting as free hosting has severe limitations on what you can do. Such a move is costly -- you will be basically changing your domain name from http://www.geocities.com/mywidgets/widgets.html to http://www.widgets.com . This implies that all your marketing will be put to waste as you will be starting from scratch all over again\n\n- Your plans to monetize your website. If you go for the free Geocities, you will have limited options in showing ads. You cannot apply to programs like Google Adsense because Geocities is showing Yahoo ads and Adsense has a clause that prohibits its publishers from displaying competing ads in the same page.\n\n- The requirements of your business. With free hosting, you are limited to the scripts available - you can't put in your own. If you plan to add an ecommerce component later on, you won't be able to do it.\n\nI suggest that if you are intent in pursuing a web business, start it right and do it with a paid hosting. There are a number of low cost hosting providers out there such as Godaddy.com http://www.godaddy.com
