Theres so many 'completed websites for £199' deals that its really not worth entering. You can buy some $5 hosting, install wordpress for free and get a template such as http://themes.kopyov.com/?theme=miriam for $15, so you've got to either think what are you going to offer thats different or look to resell the knowledge of doing that all that for a small monthly fee. Perhaps look into creating some wordpress plugins which do the tax calculator stuff, install wordpress MU, offer a selection of templates and offer it all for x amount per month? There seems to be hundreds of sites already doing this so maybe you can try and compete with them?

I have to say this is going a bit slower than I'd hoped due to life but I'm getting back in the swing of things now. That's sort of my point - if your skillset lies in the accountancy side of things, why invest the time/effort into learning web design at such an early stage? You could offer a series of templates which look a hundred times better than the ones on the link you posted and you don't even have to buy them until someone signs up - this makes it possible to setup a site relatively quickly/cheaply to see how much interest you generate before devoting x months learning how to build sites. Play up to your skills not weaknesses. Turdpunch fucked around with this message at 13:52 on Nov 2, 2011 |
