Searching for a partner

Written on Wed 05 Oct 2011

Initially I had high hopes that I could find a partner to help redevelop Scarlet Mist.

The site has needed a complete rewrite for some time, and I had made several abortive efforts to rebuild it. I was hampered by lack of time - but I had a working prototype with most of the functionality that the site needed that could act as a template.

I had meetings with seven or eight people, most of whom were web designers that had used the site and were keen to see it up and running again.  But it didn’t really work out with any of them. I guess its quite a big ask for someone to invest a lot of time and effort into a site that has no income! But they all had fantastic ideas about how the site should work, and the features that it should offer.

In the end I realised that the only way forwards would be to do it alone. The coding needs to go on.
