What kind of website are you looking for? How interactive? Is this individual your partner only because he/she is making the website?
Take into consideration that WYSIWYG editors and opensource templates (oswd.org) would allow even a novice to create a basic and attractive website in a day or less. Unless you are planning a site that requires a lot of back-end coding I wouldn't give too much credit for the website aspect of the partnership.
While I'm assuming you already have a partner in mind to create your site (hence the question) I encourage you to put your project out to bid on guru.com and see what fair market pricing for such a site really is.

50% and make sure you find one that can type and spell, although that might cost you an extra 10%

I answered this way, as I suspect that you are offering a partnership as you do not have the funds to pay a developer yourself.
If that is the case, the developer will do a lot of work upfront and be reliant on you developing the business.
Do you have a business plan, have you analysed your revenue streams, what is your projected turn over.
Do you have any initial funds or investors. The way your question is constructed I doubt it, therefore there is doubt that your business will get off the ground.
If the developer is going to get a % of nothing, then they might as well have a large % of nothing.

It truly depends on the level of web site you are looking for. There are also ways to reduce the cost. To Chris' point, you could handle creation of the copy yourself and leave the design to the developer. You could (and SHOULD) also secure all the hosting, domain name, etc.

Duke,
Clarify what you are bringing to the partnership, and you'll get a better specific answer. The percentage depends on what operating assets are you both bringing to the table to get the business off the ground. A website may be essential, but it can be done for a fixed fee by anybody. And is the partner bring SEO - level development that can get the website at a professional level?
Clarify and you'll see how the responses will be more fruitful.
Hope this helps the dialogue. Thanks for reading.

You can also see how much web developer charge at eLance.com and see what I mean about a one time cost.
