Looking for LAMP developer/designer for partnership...

All, It looks like finding a partner is a common use of this forum, and I'd like to add my request to all of the others....

I'm in my late twenties, and I have a successful track record starting and running a business. I have a idea for a business that I've been developing for several months, and I'm to the stage that I need to begin creating the website. I was a programmer/DBA in a former career, LAMP, Perl, Python, etc. My problem is I have a career in the telecommunications industry, and I don't have the time to invest in what promises to be a very complex, in depth programming project. I can provide a great deal of support, have informed discussions about how the work should be accomplished, I just don't have the time to do the actual coding.

I considered hiring freelancers to create the site, but I believe the long-term benefits of having a partner who can focus on the development of the project will far outweigh any savings that would be achieved by outsourcing the work.

The project will result in an a web-service which will be sold to a niche business. It's nothing spectacular, new, or trendy. It's taking a concept that has proven itself in people's social life, and adapting it for business use. I'm very confident that if I can find a competent developer to design and program the web-service, I'll be able to sell it. I have a source of income and make enough money to fund this endeavor, if I can find someone willing to commit to the development.

If you're interested in more details, please send me a PM.

 

Usual questions.... if it is for someone else to code and especially if it is a web service why do you want it to be LAMP based rather than whatever the programmer believes is the best environment?

 

It's negotiable, but if it's LAMP, I can provide the most support and assistance. What is most different about my situation is that I'm a capable programmer, I just don't have the time, and really dislike doing it. If I loved programming, I'd probably be doing it myself on days off and evenings/weekend.
