We are planning to start a complex web business, and have fears about
starting with a company not suited to our needs. We are looking for a
list of the 10 best companies to take our idea from concept to
finished online product. The right company will have a proven track
record of success in building large, complex web sites such as Elance.
What reliable information is available for you to judge these
companies by, we do not know. This is the reason we ask you to create
the list of criteria for which these companies will be juged. We would
like a chance to consider the criteria you choose before you begin
your research. We would like to think we would be able to have one
single company handle most, or all of our project. If this is not the
case, and you truly believe that the process of building the site
sucessfully would benefit greatly by having multiple companies work on
the project. We would like you to go about listing these companies in
a like manner. However, if this is the case only 2-3 selections in
each different catagory you create will be expected. We want to start
this business off on the right foot, and any useful information on
starting the best Elance type site would great. I kind of expect you
to have questions about this research, so please feel free. Thank you.
