hi guys. i've been reading several thread to learn more. I'd like to ask your advice about setting up a b2b marketplace website: 1. from what most poster have said, it's better not to look for a free script. my next question is, are those pre-made one (softbiz, alibabaclone etc) good to buy and get a programmer to customize? 2. Will it be easier to customize a template/existing script or from scratch? 3. if we're making it from scratch, can 1 programmer do it? if yes, how long would be sufficient time to create it (just as our guide to know if the programmer's good or not) 4. if we're making it from scratch, outsource its creation, how can we be assured it is made from scratch and not modified from free/existing scripts out there? 5. how can we check if coding is secure an unhackable? we saw one script vendor getting a review that his program had so many backdoor for hackers (maliciously put there or careless, i don't know).. is there a service for that or something before it goes online? thanks very much.
