I’m trying something new. I haven’t done a lot of retail web development but I thought I’d give it a try.

I’m offering a free website to the first responder whose concept I like. I’m willing to include a CMS, shopping cart, blog, forums, and custom code.

Potential CMS:: Drupal, Joomla, Django, SilverStripe, ModX or other
Shopping cart: Magento, ZenCart, osCommerce, OpenCart,  Prestashop, or other
Forum: phpBB, bbpress, vanilla, punBB, or other
Blog: WordPress or other

You don’t have to choose.  Just tell me your requirements and I’ll find the right tools to solve your problem.  But if you have a preferences, or already have an existing platform (.NET, PHP, Ruby, etc.) let me know.

It doesn’t have to be a CMS or eCommerce site. It can be whatever you like.   It could be a cool web based app.  The more interesting the concept, the better. I might even be willing to try a mobile app (iPhone or Android.)

It can even be a QA-site with version control, defect tracking, project management, test automation, continuous integration, etc. But that’s what I do best. If you want to make it interesting maybe ask me to deploy it on Azure or EC2 (though you’ll have to pay for that.)

In fact, that’s the one catch. You’ll have to pay for hosting, or any tools that aren’t open source, whatever your site. That includes the cost of setting up a payment gateway or merchant account for eCommerce, though I can take care of the details for you.

You may want to pay for graphic design too, since I’m no designer. I know some pretty good ones though, and I can manage that aspect for you — it just won’t be free.
