Hi Jo
The main skills required for setting up an Indicia powered site are:
1) Ability to design your survey form, select an appropriate species list etc.
2) HTML & basic web page design
3) A little PHP and JavaScript to setup the functionality (though all the hard bits are already done for you)
Don't be put off by the latter - the coding required is really just a case of cutting and pasting the bits you want from the tutorials and modifying the parameters to your needs.
For installation, you would typically be using a server hosted by an organisation such as BRC so all you need is a web site account that allows you to upload web pages with PHP code on them. A typically "shared hosted" account will normally be fine.
Indicia includes some demonstration and example site pages. At the moment I am waiting for the domain name to be set up for a server - when this is ready I will let you know.
Best Wishes
