ive done it with access and asp a couple times... but that is really only usefull for small scale/persnal usage. for a while i had a searchable/updateable database of my mp3s where all my music could be uploaded and downloaded thru . i dont have any experience with the really powerful solutions but im sure i can figure it out if i needed to (like i did with access/asp).

<- can but sucks at it, which is why he is looking (was looking) for website designers for his website (www.techcerts.com) I found two people who sound like they are going to be great. this forum is certainly the place to ask for help when planning to start a website. I was surprised at the offers I got for help. I am still, however, looking for a few more content authors (to write study guides, and exams (you do get paid for this.) for techcerts.com if you are interested PM me or e-mail me at (brian@techcerts.com)

also, good luck finding help for your site, jockdisvdude

You can set up some sweet databases with SQL server

The database interaction part of it is relatively easy for me. It's the UI design part that I suck at.

to do Anandtech youd need a SQL Server backend (or i guess you could go Oracle if youre loaded) ive done sites this big and some much bigger dozens of times, but im busy and im not cheap. I can program anything youve ever seen on the internet, but I kinda suck at graphics (I'm a plumber not a painter) so if you wanted logos and banners and stuff get an artist to fill in there. PM or Email me if you want a more detailed consultation

EDIT: oh and to answer your question, to do a site of the complexity of anandtech would probably take a single programmer 2-3 monhts, but thats full time, and thats also with a locked spec, throw in your day to day changes (which every client does, you cant avoid it) it just gets longer (my estimate does not include forum development, If i were to do this site i would install a 3rd party forum and just modify the code to integrate it into the rest of the site)
