If you’re stuck using IE6 for old enterprise apps, install Firefox along side for new apps. Safer for IE6 than Flash. (tip @dalmaer)

You seem to feel that your project isn’t ready to move forward without a software developer (a “programmer”, as you say). I’m going to suggest you do everything you can to solidify and define your project before you bring on a technologist. … spend all your time on two things: talking to people (networking) and creating a wireframe (a simple mockup) of your web app. Your wireframe serves as a “requirements specification” for talking to developers and investors. The process of creating the wireframe (and gathering feedback) will help you refine your business concept. Until your wireframe is done, it’s too early to talk to developers or potential investors.

This is great advice.  Anyone with programming skills in particular (me included) has a tendency to open a text file and start coding right after they have a whiff of an idea.  A lot more development really has to go into a business before it can take off.
