Launches “Last Piece of the Domain Development Puzzle” — Rick Latona

Latona launches a fresh site to find web designers to build out premium domain names.

Rick Latona has launched ResearchLabs.com, which is billed as “The Last Piece of the Domain Development Puzzle”.

The site pairs web designers and SEO experts with premium domain names. The Designers are paid a nominal base salary while the domain is developed and grows and then share in the profits in the long run.

Latona explains the need for the site on his blog:

Over the years I’ve lost a modest fortune trying to mass develop domains as mini-sites and then lost another modest fortune putting major sites on domains, only to ignore the sites later on.

Therein lies the problem. It’s difficult, to say the least, to get a lot of sites developed; primarily since you lose focus and attention.

Research Labs takes a very simple approach. If a web designer or seo expert wants to take a stab at developing a premium name, we give them the opportunity.

Current projects include RareCars.com, Webserver.com, and Rhodes.com.
