Ok I have an idea for a website but right now Im just doing research and I need a little help. I would like to create a new website that is a mixture of a few sites. Thechive.com, uncrate.com and tapiture.com Thechive.com is set up as a blog and has pictures of hot chicks, funny pictures and videos and users can submit their own pictures. Uncrate.com has cool gadgets for men and you can sign up and save the gadgets you find cool and save them in your "stash". Tapiture.com is the male version of pinterest I would like to combine these sites and make it where you can also save pictures of the hot chicks or funny pictures and videos you find cool in your stash. In addition to being able to save stuff in your stash I would also like to have users be able to share items to Facebook, twitter, digg, stumbleupon or any other social media site. I would also like to make it where users can add friends and would have their own personal page ex: xxxxxxxx.com/bigdad would show my profile picture and my stash which could also be shared to any social media site. The main page would only be the stuff that I submit like its me sharing my "stash" I would like a button near the top of the page that would say something like "user submits" maybe something else, not sure yet. Once they click that button it would take them to a page that would look similar to tapiture. Tapiture also has something id like to integrate into my site which is the tap button. If you think you would be interested in building this site for me please visit tapiture.com and see if you could make a button like that. Anyone have an idea of what a site like this would cost? Also would anyone be interested in building this for me?
Do you already have a domain name? Do you have hosting? Tapiture looks like pinterest The Chive looks like a Wordpress site If you want to build a Wordpress site yourself (recommended) it would just be the price of a domain name and hosting. Most basic hosting accounts come with WordPress and Joomla install. If you want someone to design it for you, you're looking at $400 and up. We'd be glad to help if you need it. email
But won't I need some programming done? Because I want users to be able to login and register and be able to post stuff and have there own stash. So wouldn't I need programming so both sites are linked together? They are not going to be separate sites. Just combining the 3 into one.
This is why I recommended WordPress. It comes with those features built in (member signup and login) and is also fairly user friendly.
I understand wordpress would be easy but would users be able to post stuff on the tapiture like page using their login?
so true. Upside: convenience. Downside: at some point all the WP sites will start to lookalike. Talking to other sites generally involves that they have a published API, so your site can talks to their. This generally involves custom coding, as not all "out of the box" vanilla WP installs do what you want. I'm personally a fan of the python+jquery duo, as it's much more powerful and flexible than php-based and whatever, but then again it's just a question of preference... Ever wondered why all-mighty Google is not using PHP but python+javascript?
