Hello!
I'm starting a new website. It will help people create their own websites very fast, cheap and easy.
But I need your help. I need you to complete my survey here

Looking forward to your response.
Thanks

Note that it are only 6 questions. If many people are like me they may think "pff another survey with 30 questions. That'll take too long". But it's not ;)

You might not want to ask those questions on a programming forum. You're assuming that web design is a scary, intimidating process, and you didn't limit your questions at all. Yes, I'm the one who's worried Obama might get a second term.

Man I'm not assuming anything at all. I'm a programmer myself and I want to know what worries people the most in creating websites.

[WingedPanther]

Most competent programmers aren't likely to be worried by any part of creating a website. Your last three questions don't confine responses to websites.

[ultrapeter29]

Ok, not worries. But I'm sure you've had some headaches with creating websites, haven't you? Well, people please complete my survey. This is going to help me A LOT.

My headaches tend to be things like "how do you deal with Classic ADO's tendancy to return blank values for fields in a recordset if you access them in the wrong order?" type things. You just learn how to handle them and move on.

Thanks, WingedPanther. If I know that 100 people have one common problem for example, I will be able to work on it. That's important for me. That's why I'm making this survey.

Something people will see, not infrastructure or backend database issues, the average newbie web designer the OP is wishing to help won't be working with that, try to focus on that WP.

The only issue I have is cross-browser compatibility (that I mentioned in the survey), there are just so many people who create <table>s for structures with styles that simply do not work with anything else. I'd not had problems with building sites in the past, maybe it's my driven OCD to get it right.
