How much will it cost for a social networking site ?

mainhoondon · 06-21-2009, 12:34 PM

I mean something like orkut/facebook?

If the rates are under ~$100 den I may order one

Do Post here that are $100 sufficient or how much does it cost ?

if you require a social networking site, fully designed, coded and scripted it may cost more than that, but i believe someone is selling a facebook like script on the scripts section of theese forums.

Good luck with your venture.

steadler is quite right. You could buy a script for less. Also, there are some free scripts (like Dolphin).

steadler · 06-21-2009, 01:33 PM

i didnt know there was a free one, might have to check that out lol.

There are probably facebook clones out there for less than $100.

To code a massive, unique site like facebook etc, though, would cost $xxx,xxx.

hmmm.. how about this ?
I buy the script or get a free one..
And get it customized ??
Would that be cheaper ?

Yes a LOT cheaper. Although I am broke and struggling for work at the moment. What is your maximum budget?

Ning.com will set you up with a free hosted social networking site.

The custom social networking projects I've worked on in the past have had budgets from $15,000 to $350,000... something like Facebook will cost millions.

Free is ok, if you want to be cookie cutter and be like all of the other free ones.
