Companies that will build a website/platform from my idea's

Good ideas for websites.

For those thinking bigger than just websites, try here for some half-baked ideas.

My advice (hopefully useful) would be to start by not coding anything before you have validated that actual customers exists (if you have done that already you can probably ignore the rest of my message )

For example if you think you need 1000 customers to make this a sustainable business I would suggest
- step 1 - talk to people and see if you can find 10 who would pay money for your solution.
If you can do that then
- step 2 - build a slideshow or video to demonstrate the value of your idea (don't code anything or spend much)
- step 3 - try to find 100 people who would pay for your product (via a landing page/subscribe or some other way)

If you pass step 3 then you might think about coding (finding someone to code for you) but start by building the minimum. I personally wouldn't worry about people stealing your idea. If you find people to like your idea you would be lucky to be on the right track. If you find people who want to steal your idea then you have something really good and yet no-one is likely to be as passionate about it as you are.

Good luck

I can't divulge anything at this point as it would put my idea public, but are there any companies that could take my idea (wireframes, requirements etc.) and build a website/platform to my specification?

I have an idea for a competitor to a site I'm currently using that would improve user experience and security but I'm not competent enough myself to get it off the ground.

I don't have masses of money to throw at this, but it doesn't have to be all-singing-all-dancing when it goes live.

If anybody has any idea's, or you might be interested yourself, drop me a message via PM and we'll exchange details.

People who say "I don't mean to be..." are almost certainly being what they are excusing themselves as not being...

I posted here, on a couple of other sites I use and contacted a couple of consultancies to cover all bases - I thought people might have constructive idea's, apparently not.

Thanks for your input though guys.

I'm not excusing anything. I'm simply offering an opinion that it is not intended to be rude as far I'm concerned, but of course it is up to you if you perceive it as such.

Anyway, here's Richard's top tips, enjoy.
