I have an unprecedented idea for a niche classifieds/social media website that I know can help hundreds of thousands of Employers and Employees. I have a great brand name and logo and the site is about 50% built. Unfortunately, I have no clue how to build a website...
I have used a local programmer that fell short of my expectations then I started using oDesk.com and have gotten some work done through freelancers. I'm running super low on funds to complete the site. I have spent about $1200 on the project thus far and thought it would be 100% completed by now.
What I currently have is a nicely designed site that doesn't function as a cohesive unit. The Members, Jobs, Events, Forums, and Calendar are not integrated properly. I'm using Wordpress with BuddyPress, Classifieds, and Forums plug ins. The template is called SweetDate, a dating template that actually works with what I'm trying to do.
Now I need someone to finish the site; I need the pieces of the puzzle to fit together and function as a cohesive website. I can't seem to find the right programmer. I need someone I can trust to not steal my idea, someone who is capable of programming it the way I want, and someone who is reasonably priced.
I'm currently debating recording a video and starting a Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds and awareness I need to launch the site. I'm very confident I can make a video that is easy to relate to, and just as laid-back and funny as it is informative. My concern is getting the idea out there before the launch and have someone steal the idea.
I'M LOST! I need money and a reliable team to build my website. What shall an Idea-Man do? Please help!

as we don't just help you with your website but gives you tips in you business online.
I would also look on building existing platforms to start while you build a user base. Then once you prove the concept spend the money on paying someone.
