Hi everyone. I want to have a website built for me and would like to know about how much it would cost to develop, and what sort of language would be best, etc. would be best. I know the main part is going to be "Google Maps", but I want locations to be saved in a database and displayed on the website's map.

Here are some examples of the basic premise:
http://www.datacentermap.com

http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Ne...7&geocode=CITY

I am looking for more examples of what I want but they are hard to find.

Basically I want to have a website that is mainly a map and database. I don't want to give away my idea, but let's say for example that I want a website dedicated to cupcake stores. I want the main page to be a map (google map?) and have a database of all known cupcake stores in the country, or even the world. When a user mouse-overs any particular dot, a small popup shows details such as address, phone number, hours of operation, special cupcake types, etc.

I am not going to do this myself, it's obviously over my head. I wanted some general guidelines so I know what to look for. How is the site built? The database? About how much would someone charge to do it for me?
Thank you!!!

here's another example of what I am looking for:

If you want to make an interactive web site then there are so many things are available for making the interactive web site. When a user mouse-overs any particular dot, a small popup shows details such as address, phone number, hours of operation, special cupcake types, etc.
