I just want to clear this up: I'm not developing a competitor to Amazon - I already have a niche for the reviews, but without the reviews the site loses much of its value.

hey stiggz - thanks for responding. how can I get in touch with you? If you want to just send me an e-mail, send it to nchastain at gmail.com

In a comment that will probably be laughed at, I'll just ask this: what kind of a site can I expect with a $500-$1000 price range? Surely something can be built for that much money.

I have a very "lean" Web app that I've transformed into a nifty collection of online mock-ups, but I am not nearly good enough at coding to transform those into functional code.

Honestly, there are only three pages of mock-ups, one technical challenge, and one Word document of notes. Maybe some kind HN soul will have some spare time and can talk me through this process or get involved. I'm getting so anxious to create this thing that I'm trying to learn programming languages at a frantic pace, and have mocked this up in three different programs.

My understanding was that if their domain was registered before your company name was trademarked, they have a right to that domain. I'll check out that link, though.

I have $1000 that I'm willing to throw into development right now, but I'm not sure how to spend it wisely. It seems like $1000 might not be enough to code a fairly simple application. What happens if the money runs out before the project is finished? Would I end up with a non-functioning set of code, or would the feature set just end up severely reduced?
