Well, all was going well. Visual design is underway with an outsourced contractor. I’ve built 85% of the site functionality. Everything is going to plan, everything is going smoothly.
Until today. Today I realized I left out a pretty major piece of functionality. My website deals with one group posting projects, and another group finding those projects and offering help. Until today, I’d ignored a major piece – the users need to be able to see projects close to themselves, and search within a radius of a zip code. This is a pretty standard thing for most sites, but is incredibly complex programatically ( at least to me ).
So, as visual design is being done, i’m stuck with a major functionality issue. Yes, this is a “nice to have” type functionality, but to me, it’s paramount. So, I’ve got to figure out how to make it work.
If anyone out there knows enough PHP/MySQL to code this type of functionality, let me know. I’m willing to pay (somehow) for the right results.
Coming soon, look for my and Mollie’s thoughts on marketing. We’ve got a big job ahead of us there too.
No one said this would be easy – but it’s a blast!
