Want to create a big forum style site
Just a tiny problem, I have no idea how to create, maintain or promote a forum. I just know its one of those ideas that once taken off will go viral and users will do all the work after the first 6-12 months if I can start it out well. I have a good idea of categories and subcategories like here on WF or any other forum site and have a decent budget but don't want to spend to much too early.
So is it better to hire a web designer to design the forum from scratch, then I can get it the way I want, but will probably cost a lot. (How much estimate too?)
Or install wordpress and try to do it via themes/plugins etc as I have heard there are a few good wordpress forum plugins.
1.) What sort of price would I be looking at to hire someone to create a forum?
2.) General more information/opinions.
