Ok,

You seem ike you really are reaching out. You have a good purpose and want to inspire folks to start their own business. Ok, so let`s ask yourself, why this is important to you...from there you can build a mission statement. There is no law stating that someone else has to build your web site. If you can do it, then good. If the results are there , then you should be happy. Okay you may want to build a logo that you can use in print, web etc... so you may ned assistance. There are plenty of online logo places to get a logo for under 200.00. If you want to wait on that, then go to the local staples, best buy or online at laughingbird software and look for the logo creator. It is about 15.00 and you can create a very decent logo to get started. If you are interested in having a listing classified kind of area, let me know, i have scripts you can use. If you want to list folks who want to motivate others to start a business, then maybe add an area that is searchable and these lsiting business`s can add their profile, story, reason why someone should start a business and maybe embed videous of these business`s. Here is a very very simple site...i just searched, motivation to start a business ...http://www.smallbusinessownersguidebook.com/ .  They sell a book...you may want to put your thoughts and passion for this buisness into a book and either sell it or offer it to paid subscribers or for free...add value to your site. I hate to see a man (woman) down...so if you are stuck with  not knowing how to make a fresh page or some basic coding, you may pm me and i will email you some resources. Don`t get down...stay up!! We are just trying to give you honest feedback so that you can be a success. You are doing a great thing,so let people help guide you how. I am not a know it all, just been there , done that. If i got 5 cents for everytime i didn`t like what someone said i would be a millionare. You have to know your purpose, state it and sell it!! You CAN do this...and reach out if you need help, don`t be afraid or hurt by criticism, just say okay, i value that opinion or not the other...take what you need and run with it...and in the end you may be able to give back by helping someone else out:) Peace !!!
