Great website idea help

AY - I'm sorry to tell you, but you most likely DO NOT have a goldmine. Apps are not goldmines and even Zynga, a company that owns a portfolio of apps, is having a terrible time trying to turn a profit. I'll answer your questions as honestly as they will be answered.

1. The cheapest way is to build the app yourself. But I have a feeling that you're not a programmer, and you don't have the thousands of dollars necessary to hire programmers.

2. You need to already have the app developed in order to pitch investors. You might get lucky pitching an idea to idiotic VC's that have too much money and have no idea what to do with it - but that will require you to be in Silicon Valley where the party is at. Even then, you shouldn't seriously consider it.

3. Don't ask for legal advice here. No one here is qualified to give it to you. Even the resident lawyers here are NOT good ones, so don't even bother. Consult an IP lawyer. You'll get the first session free...just make sure you have your questions concise and ready to discuss.

Well designing App or Website is not an easy task, when you think you have a very good and profitable business idea then you have to spend $$$$ behind that, if you will go for cheap methods then you will get cheap work, so always try to go with affordable methods. Secondly develop the site and app first bring in some thousand visitors and then pitch it to investors sharing how they can monetize with this users database and how you can attract more and more users.

Hope my advice was helpful to you.

The easiest way to build a site it's through wordpress,
but you have to think about hosting as well.

To buid an app can be an extension of your website,
and it's not expensive as it seems.As there are few
Drag and Drop platforms that makes it's easy, I have
access to one, where I can create multiple apps and
I payed for lifetime access.

If you really want to know just Pm me I will tell you.

you do web for the best students should make the forums more. Because what it will be more interaction between the students more

I would say that you would have to first create your website. Fast and easy ways to do this is by using a WordPress Theme, MyBB, or other type of forum software. Build everything up, get traffic, then try to promote to investors. All of these things take time, hard work, and at least a little bit of investment. Good Luck to you in creating your new business

website for college students is not obviously profitable so you have to have something to show to the investors, so build a small site first then promote it and introduce it to investors.

The cheapest and easiest way to make a small site is by Wordpress. You can search the guideline to build it on Google, very easy. You will need hosting also, I recommend Godaddy or Hostgator, for they are good hosting suppliers, not expensive and "ok" quality, just enough for your site. Then set it up and buy a nice theme, customize it and you have a good site to show

if you dont have a website or the money to create one just use wardpress it is easy and free. You can also contract one of your friends who do programming to help you create one at a cheaper cost. my first website was done by a friend who is a student taking computer science. for investors to buy into your idea you have to convince them. the site should be able to attract enough traffic. prove to them that you have the potential required and you will not waste their money and resources. Legal advice can be expensive for you because you dont have the money but you can always find people ready to help.. All the best friend I hope you find help and do great.

Thank you very much for all your advice, it helps those who want to just get smth themselves and examples of people are much more effective than just read some articles or books. My friends advised me to join this forum and I don't feel sorry!

As regards to building a website, like the others, i recommend Wordpress. No need of fancy programming, unless your idea requires it.

I will give you 2 examples of companies in the country im residing in that uses themeforest wordpress templates - themobilelife.com and our-little-company.com.

Both are established companies whose clients includes airline companies and bank corporations.

As to building an app, Im in no position to give an opinion. But I do know that an app can cost a bomb. Cheers!

In my opinion, you can easily build a website through Wordpress.
It is not an easy money on the app if that's what you think.
There are App Creator that you can use to lessen the rate but the thing is,
what makes a user spend money on the app that you created?
Unless it has really good graphics that you really must spend money on a
designer.

Regardless of what answers you get here, don't let it stop you from executing your idea! You just never know what you have till you try it.

1. A tagline: A prominent tagline that fits within the overall brand messaging and communicates the benefit of the startup immediately.
2. Clear offering: Clearly express what you are doing, what your visitor can gain from it and how they can easily get it.
3. User-friendly interface: Consider load times, navigation, sitemap, prominent calls-to-action, and and intuitive layout.

If your going to do it in wordpress. I would suggest creating 2 apps a free one to place in wordpress directory and a professional one to upgrade to. I think this a pretty standard business model for wordpress. Plus your plugin will be searchable for lots of WordPress developers.
