You CrowdSource Web Development — DomainPeers.com Helps

Fresh site brings together basic building blocks of domain development.

A fresh web site seeks to help domain name owners develop their domain names with the power of crowdsourcing.

DomainPeers.com brings together logo and template design as well as web hosting for one site a week day. Domain owners can submit their domain for voting by the community. Once the community picks the weekly site, designers and hosting firms go to work. The community then selects the winning designs.

The designers get paid with a portion of sponsorship fees. Firms can sponsor the weekly competitions and get exposure. (Update: each competition lasts a week, but a fresh one starts every day.)

This is a neat idea if the site can bring together all of the necessary players — primarily designers and sponsors. Still, it doesn’t solve one of the biggest problems plaguing domainers getting into the development game — content.

So if you’re going to use the service I recommend only submitting domain names you’re passionate regarding and are willing to put in the elbow grease required to build out great content.
