Sorry for the long silence; didn't have time to get back online yesterday.
The page is a front end for a database of what people do and don't like, and where they can find it. So for the database amateurs (like me), there's a huge table of "if you like x, you'll like y," and another huge table of "if you're looking for x, you can find it at these locations." There are actually a couple of similar sites, except that nobody's incorporating location yet, which seems silly to me, because the product in question is HIGHLY location dependent. It needs to operate both in full web browsers and on mobile devices -- and this is part of the problem that's really kicking my tail. I'm ok at laying out stuff on a big screen, but making pages that are small but readable on a tiny device is just hard.
Anyway, I have a friend who's working the artwork and "make it look pretty" side of the page. I've built a bunch of the database, and have built enough of the front-end components to prototype database functionality. I think the optimal person for the job would be someone that I'd classify as a "web software architect" to lay out the things that I've missed and turn my collection of prototype components into a reasonably professional web site.
At this point, I would guesstimate that it's a couple of solid weeks of full time web developer work to clean things up and make it workable, though I'd honestly settle for 2-3 days of
oldE -- I'll be writing to your son as soon as I finish this post. If a Pelican is willing to vouch for his work, that's good enough to induce me to write, and you replied first.
id10t -- if oldE's son doesn't have time in the very near future, you replied second, so I'll give you second shot at it. I don't need pretty so much as I need functional, so you could be perfect for this part. Thanks for the reply.
Thanks,
Dan
