QUESTION:

I have a technology question. While I have been in software for 10+ years, my programming skills have left me. I am looking to build a working prototype of a web site idea I have. A core component is to pass registration data collected on my site, to multiple existing sites (essentially a SSO process for registration as well as login). The second part would be to populate my site with catalogue data from the multiple sites I registered the user for. Could someone recommend any automation, canned scripts, widgets etc. to expedite this prototype process? I cannot afford to pay a developer at this stage. Thanks for the help.
