Help needed in building and maintianing my own website

[Deleted member 6068]

I have been approached by a friend of myn who wants me to build him a website simular to www.Rightmove.co.uk.

he requires the following

He wants a website designed that is very simular to www.rightmove.co.uk
he needs to be able to maintain the website himself ie: uploading, changing
he wants to be able to give clients the ability to upload pictures and description's through a login system, but also before it is published to the website he needs to be able to view and authourise the content they are uploading before it is published.
he also needs to be able to upload documents in pdf format.

the problem is i have never done anything like this but would love the chance to receive advice and learn how to design this website for him.

he has offered to purchase any software needed and also fund what ever is required for me to do this.

if anyone could give me advice and recommend various software in order to do this.

many thanks

steve

Thanks will have a read through, never done anything like this i mainly just build comps for friends and fam and do the occasional install of windows but apart from that i just mess with my own pc which i have taken a holiday from for the past couple of years and now want to get back into it again.

thanks

possibly not thats why i came here for advice on what i will need before i tell him yes or no i have got a while before he will need the website so the sooner i start the better.
if it turns out i do not have the knowledge or learning capacity to do what e wants then at least i have learnt something from it.

thanks

Yea, he says if i can come up with a website he likes then i will compensate me for doing it.

He would make it worth my while and I'm aware that if he dont like it i could end up with nothing, but then again i would have the knowledge of how to biuld and design websites and work from there so it would not be a total loss.
