[`iAndre]

Hello my friends.
I would like to ask you what do you know about social's network website coding ..

As i know coding something like that using all these scripts is really difficult and the cost is high too.
Plugins for translation in all languages and the list goes on ..

What will be cost and what do you need for something like that ?
I'm talking about technical support (webhosting, db's , etc.).

* About the last one i would to know how it works too ..


Thanks in advance.

Regards,

`iAndre.

Nothing is so difficult, but it needs good planning. In the company I currently work we're developing our own social network.  The coding is too much if you choose to have a public API for 3rd party developers, and scalability in mind. If you want to scale to maximum you need to consider a smart architecture. In our example: 

 

- Front end (the main website) -> Laravel (PHP) for rendering pages (HTML/CSS/JS/LESS etc...)

 

- Back end (for every single request) -> NodeJS, MongoDB & express.

 

- Android app -> Java, iOS app -> Objective C

 

We currently have like 8 developers (and one of them is our CTO). We have a designer, a community manager and a product manager (CEO and CMO excluded from the list). And imagine we're startup. 

 

It's more about the money for the infrastructure rather than the development itself.

I'm being paid extremely well to work on that company and I'm one of the 8 total developers there.

 

If you're going for a smaller project, with lower target then maybe you need about 1500€-2000€ for the developer and an other 500€ for the designer for sure. But that way you'll keep your target at a low level (meaning not targeting something like twitter/facebook or similar giants).

My target is to create something like facebook/twitter.

I'm not gonna need a designer. I will design it personally.

 

You told me that the cost for a small project is about 1500€-2000€ .

What 's the cost for a big project (like fb or twitter) ?

Unreachable. We have gathered from crowd funding right now around 2-3 million euros and they're still not that much.

 

Such kind of projects do not get supported from a person only because it's nearly impossible unless you have some serious money on the bank. They instead get some support with investors. That's the goal of crowd funding. There are also VC (venture capitalists) who invest on a project getting some shares. There's also Kickstarter's way of funding.

 

Before looking for money you need to have a clear plan, some nice high fidelity prototypes and generally a sort of demo. Are you so sure about your idea?

YES.

I will focus on finding some investors. Otherwise, the cost is to high .

For sure is too high but you'd have to have a demo to present to possible investors. If you are so sure about that project I might want to help in exchange of shares. If you are in need of technological assistance, pm me.
