Hello Forum - I'm a 40 year old entrepreneur with many talents, none of which happen to be web design/programming . I have a web-based business idea that I hope someone on this board might help me with ... i.e. just point me in the right direction.
My idea involves managing certain recreational assets (I'd rather not say which ones) for owners/managers using a web-based platform. The site would need to perform multiple functions (like public & private access, storing scanned documents & images, scheduling maintenance, ordering parts, posting sales listings, event management, merchandise store, virtual tours, private inbox/messaging, etc etc.).
My research has uncovered various affordable "off the shelf" softwares that can perform these tasks individually, but none that can perform them all. I don't have the capital to design software from scratch (I assume this would cost tens of thousands of dollars), so I'm hoping there may be a way to create like an interface/dashboard design that would pull together multiple ASP's in an attractive, user-friendly fashion. I can probably get permission to frame the individual softwares within my site, though a few may require a new window to open (which is ok). Am I crazy to think something like this could be created without spending thousands of dollars? If no, where do I start?
