Dafydd.
I am new to the world of website design and would greatly appreciate any advice or guidance that you may have on the forum. I would like to create an online community forum to bring together individuals with a particular hobby or interest. I am not sure if there are template site builder resources available that make creating something like this easier. The site I would like to host would allow people to register and create their own online profiles. They would be able to specify their own particular field of interest. For example, if this was a car site, then an individual could select that they had an interest in Aston Martins and Rolls Royces. They would then also be able to search for other people in their local area or within in a particular mileage radius from their location who shared a similar interest. Basically, it would work in a similar way to some online dating sites but would be for connecting people with a particular interest. I would also like to provide the ability for individuals to send each other private messages on the site and also post forum topics too.
I would be grateful if anyone would be able to point me in the right direction to get started with a project like this. I am hopeful that website builders may exist that can automate some of the setup of the site from a template. Any advice would be very welcome.
Many thanks,
Daniel
