MenuHow would you re-develop Clarity's website?
Say a comet comes down from the sky and destroys the cloud and you need to completely rebuild Clarity.fm from scratch, including all existing features. How would you go about doing it? What frameworks and programming languages would you use? How much would a project like that cost? What features would be the most costly/time consuming to build?
Answers
I would hurl myself toward getting the following working first:
* User signup (default to user)
* Profile setup (photo, etc).
* Add Stripe information
* Make it easy to share the link to my profile
* Enable Expert-mode, to answer phone calls
* Enable Twilio for calls
* Set Hourly-rate for calls
* Build/program API to handle conference calls etc
* Connect to LinkedIn / Facebook / Twitter for 'verification'
I wouldn't spend time with any Javascript frameworks etc at first. Just make it usable and not a pain for people to get in and make a phone call, or edit their profile.
Other than that, Clarity is very well built as it is. I'm sure you're trying to build this for a specific business.
lol if you are looking just to clone clarity -
its a good concept but remember that the real successful business's innovate not imitate
Developing from scratch could be really expensive. I recommend building something with WordPress and validate as fast as possible.
You can take a WordPress directory theme or plugin and get it customized to fit your needs.

Should I create a WordPress site or build a custom website?
Go for Wordpress initially. -- Custom website will delay your launch plans considering all factors. -- Wordpress can be used to meet your requirements from day 1. -- Once you have enough visitors and decided the revenue model + business objective plan for a customized website to be developed from scratch.Bakul KaushikBK

How much should I charge to develop a WordPress site?
Take the # of hours it takes you to do it and charge $50/hour. That's the price. Eventually you can charge $100/hour but that will require a bigger customer. If the customer is small < $1M in gross sales per year - charge $50/hour If the customer id medium < $1-5M / sales - charge $75 Over $5M - charge $100 The challenge you'll face is clearly defining the expectations and handoff so that you're not stuck doing stuff that you can charge for and always getting interrupted from past customers.Dan MartellDM

What are the key accomplishments for the first year of a startup?
A generalized question can only get a generalized answer. The most significant accomplishment is validating that the product you have built is a fit with your target market. This is demonstrated primarily by engagement (the people who sign-up or who previously visited, continue to return) and secondarily by growth, ideally based on word-of-mouth or viral growth but effectively converting paid traffic is a great second prize. Other significant accomplishments include: Not running out of money Recruiting and retaining great talent who believe in the founders' vision. Your loved ones not thinking you're as crazy as they thought you were a year ago. I'm happy to talk to you in a call to give you more specifics about what you want to set as your goals more specific to your startup.Tom WilliamsTW

What learning path do I have to take to become a "full-stack" web developer?
If I was just starting out, I'd consider learning Meteor (https://www.meteor.com/). It's just entered version 1.0 and after working with it for a little less than a year I do have some issues with it but it still makes for a very solid framework that gets you up and running very fast. You would only need to learn Javascript, and you can slowly work your way towards nodejs from there (which Meteor is based on) if you want to, or you could get the basics down and focus on learning design if you prefer.Kristian DupontKD
