    I'm interested in having someone create a social network for me. Generally speaking, how much should this cost?? I know it's all dependant on the features and such, but how bout a ballpark figure?

    thanks everyone!

    peace

    a cheaper solution would probably be to use phpfox's platform, then modify it to your specs.

    I realize that, although I'm not a fan of PHPfox. I have a site-in-progress running on dolphin 6.02, it's basically free PHPfox. http://www.writeinyourvote.com

    I'm wondering about a ballpark figure for a from-scratch social network script. I probably will end up going with one of these pre-made one's in the end and modifying it heavily to suit my needs.

    I'm just trying to figure out all my options. :D

    peace

    From scratch - I asked around here a month back (I too was interested in starting one) and was given an approx estimate of $2500 - $6000 for a custom built one, depending on features.

    Hope that helped :)

    Create your own Free social network at The Village. We built everything custom and we'll even host your site for free (we do put a few ads in there, but not many). It's totally customizable so you can use any colors, graphics, or anything else. Give it a try, let us know if you have trouble. We are still in a beta phase for another couple of weeks, but the system is stable and we use very reputable hosting and content delivery network.
