Hi:
I am very enthusiastic about modx as a solution for some clients that I have had on custom CMS platforms and Drupal. However, I have never considered myself to be a developer, and while ModX is relatively easy to set up, taking it past the basics is beyond my ability as a part-time webmaster.
I would like to find someone who can do the following:
- help me iron out any kinks in my existing deployments, including troubleshoot a problem I’ve got with image editing
- assist me by either a) consulting on ways I can do things myself or b) doing them for me but explaining what you’ve done so I’m not completely in the dark, depending on the complexity of the task
- let me send wireframes and other artifacts and turn them into working modx functionality
Essentially I’m looking for someone who knows modx, has patience for non-programmers, and is interested in some casual part-time work for a little extra money. These projects are my sideline too, so I don’t want anyone who depends on up-to-the minute management from me.
* anticipated start time
ASAP - at least some of the troubleshooting
* anticipated job duration
Ongoing, but casual and depending on both our schedules. I would like someone who may be interested in eventually taking ownership of a couple of these properties as I ease myself out of frontline support for my clients.
* budget constraints
Some of this is out of my pocket, and some will come from my clients. As such, I don’t have gobs of money to spend. I would prefer to work on small functional units as billable projects, and see how far that gets. Any reasonable hourly rate is fair game.
* payment terms
This is negotiable. I am in Canada and can use paypal for payment.
* scope of work
Variable - sometimes just answering questions and recommending solutions. Sometimes taking a functional spec, estimating, and executing
* IP ownership constraints (e.g., can the work be donated back to the community)
I don’t want to own any of the IP. It belongs to the people who build this great stuff.
please PM me or email iain at lowelife dot com to ask questions or offer up recommendations.
thanks
