I plan to build a website for online educational services. Current idea is that each instructor or teacher who enrolls can have his own homepage and tools on this site. This website will allow instructors to sell their education related services on a course basis or provide  coaching  on  a hourly basis. Can anybody assist me to build such a site?

Does a similar educational website exist? We will be charging a percentage of the transaction from users make in their transaction. How can I implement this feature? I would like to only keep validated users to maintain website quality . What is the best way I can verify the people trying to register are valid i.e. not spammers,etc?

I have experience with Programming Languages and HTML. I am not interested in messing with CMS software more than I should. Need help. If you /anybody you know can design such a website I will be happy to give them this project.

Please contact me if you are interested. I can give complete details. We can work out the other details. I appreciate your help.

Please make any suggestions if you run similar business. I need tips and feedback. What pitfalls do you think in this kind of business?

Thanks

Hi Nextgendesigner,
 
Have you considered a dotnetnuke portal? 
 
Dotnetnuke has the ability to create "children" sites based upon a template.  The owner can add, delete, and customize modules (blogs, wysiwyg html boxes, etc.) on their page.  You can even purchase custom modules from developers that are very easy to install into the master.
 
The one downside is that it can run slow in a shared hosting environment.

Thanks Mike.

I dont have so much grasp on web hosting solutions. Can you tell me if dotntenuke offer any features others dont offer? Where should I start on this website assuming that I am novice to web hosting.

Are you planning to have this done as scope work or have developers on hand after launch?

I wouldn`t recommend going with something like dotnetnuke, especially for your goals and needs. That might be fine for a hobby website, but if your planning to run a serious online business, then you need to go with a professional or freelance developer. Check out elance.com - it`s basically the craig`s list of web design. WYSIWYG type of html editors really slow your website down, shared hosting or not.

I could help you out on this.  I could talk to you about the technology involved and what costs that you are looking at.  I`m too busy right now to take on the work but I can reccomend some good people that can take good care of you.
