Hi. A friend and I have an idea for a website. Without giving the idea away completely I'm gonna say it's the type of website where people find one another for various services. They put their info and a picture and people can search for them. We also want a few different languages. We already talked to a web designer and he said this type of website needs database engineers. My friend and I are on a low budget. Does anyone know good database engineers that would cost less than $15,000?

Database engineer?

All you need is somebody who know PHP, SQL/MySQL for the backend. HTML, CSS, JS, and probably Photoshop for the frontend

Depending on the people you hire the backend could cost from 2,000 to 15,000.

If you have a budget over 15,000, go find a web development company. Most companies have a group of professionals to create your site ranging from programmers to artists.

Sounds to me like this web designer works alone and doesn't have the programming experience necessary.
