My advice is hire someone as you would if you had to hire a D.J. for your wedding: get someone locally, meet them, talk to them, and during the talk analyze if you're feeling comfortable with the person. You're going to deal with this person in a detail-oriented endeavor. You main concerns are if the person has a positive attitude, is not arrogant, is honest and professional. A negative attitude will stall your project. An arrogant attitude will make it very unpleasant. A dishonest person will re-sell your code.\nIn general, if you're doing a Microsoft solution, don't hire a Linux person, and viceversa.\nDon't hire someone you can't meet in person. Find a programmer through friends, and friends of friends.

http://www.interkeys.com/temphelp1 has a pretty good frontpage 2003 tutorial and guide (how to work with templates etc..)\n\nmost of the designs can be obtained from your company (web host provider)  - they usually supply you with templates or scripts mysql 1-click websites etc..

If you decide that you need to use an editor then i cant help you, but if you know how to program then use php/mySQL to get the job done, when you use those two in conjunction it can record and display information accurately.

I represent ePangea, which is an International eBusiness Internet Solutions Provider with corporate offices located in San Diego, CA. In lieu of directly promoting my firm to you, I would like to give you some sound advice in how you can locate good service providers for your Web development needs. \n\nFirst and foremost is to review references from your business partners and associates. Find those who have had sucessful Web services and contact their providers. \n\nAn excellent source to find Web developers is to use Rent-A-Coder (http://rentacoder.com) Define your project and post it to their board. You will probably received dozens of inquiries for your project in just a couple days.  \n\nGood luck to you!\n\nMD

I'm in agreement with Drew here.\n\nIt's not something you just up and decide to do without any previous knowledge of webdesign.\n\nHowever, let me try to be of some help\n\n1) You need to know a great programming language.  I built my dating site in ASP.NET.  You can use PHP or ASP, it's a matter of personal choice.\n\n2) Find a good hosting site that will allow a lot of bandwidth.  I use jodohost.com\n\n3) Think up a great name for the site and register it as the domain name.  It needs to be something catchy and people will remember.\n\n4) It needs to be designed so that people can use a trial version for like 3 days or something.  This way you can encourage new users.\n\n5) Build multiple plans that people can choose from for payment options.  Everyone has their own budget so tailor to multiple budgets.\n\n6) Keep it simple and not too cluttered with crap.  \n\n7) Great features are chatting, profiles, instant messaging, forums, compatability tests, newsletters, featured profiles, the ability to block messages by user, ability to add video, ability to add sound.\n\n8) Advertise locally first.  My site was tailored towards college students so I made sure that the local colleges were plastered with flyers (not neccessarily ethical, but hey...).\n\n9) Offer perks to new users such as unlimited use for 1 month for free, or free features such as chatting if they sign up by a certain time period.\n\n10) Network with other sites that work with dating.  Create a banner rotation system and offer to work with online coupons, flower sites, hotel sites, etc.  SOmething that will drive traffic to you from other sites.\n\n11) Advertise online everywhere.  Myspace, Bolt, Bolt2, Match.com, etc.\n\n12) Make sure it's safe for people under 18 (if you allow them to use the service).  Parents don't want their 16yr old son looking at nudity.  The more people that can use your site, will use it.  \n\nLook at other top dating sites out there (match.com) and see what they do.  take from their ideas.

Learn to use Microsoft Access and build it yourself.  You're not likely to get someone to write you a database for free.\n\nAccess has pre-built databases and wizards that spoon feed you through development.  Try it, you may enjoy it.

Sure First you need a host so Try Geocities

Well, one route would be to use an SQL database. In this case, the code would basically just be a couple SQL queries and a bit of html.  However, you'd need a host that allowed you to use a database.

Try googling for the same to get a broad view. I'd recommend these sites as well:\n\n1. www.codeguru.com\n2. www.sourcecodesworld.com\n3. www.codeproject.com\n\nI found all of those (except codeguru from google). Just try 'em out. They look good.

It's a matter of personal taste. For those who have a very strong database background, I would recommend iBatis. With it, you will *always* work with real SQL.\n\nOn the other hand, if you use hibernate, you can take an approach of writting code which will be portable amongst many databases.\n\nMy experience says that it is a lot easier for a company to change their application server or programming language than it is for them to change their database server (this may not be your case). So, writting unportable (but efficient) SQL code is not a sin.

I use hotscripts.com for a large majority of the stuff that I design. Some of the scripts are paid, but most of the scripts are open source and free..........

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.

There are many programmers who write real good programs but lack the ability to market them, so they made them Shareware, this type of software you are looking for is available at ZDNET.COM just click the tab 'downloads' and type database, you'll see, luck..☺
