We're seeking to hire a local (Seattle-based) PHP/MySQL coder to handle
a project, but have been having no success. I was hoping to get your
feedback on whether the pricing, timeframe and job demands seemed
reasonable and what the reasons might be for the lack of interest shown
thus far (I posted on CL -
http://seattle.craigslist.org/art/131871889.html - and received
virtually no response).
Project Description:
The project requires a robust, custom-built e-commerce site that will
sell both a set of software CD-Roms that will be shipped and a high
number of mid-resolution images (~30-60,000) available for purchase and
download. The images will need to be scraped from our existing site
with the relevant keyword and content data and will require previewing
abilities with watermarks. The site will also require customization to
enable sales, promotions and special offers on the backend, as well as
e-mail newsletters and free image download credits assignable to
customers. We have an existing mockup of the visuals and functionality
for the new site. These templates will comprise the basis for the
site's construction.
Skills:
PHP (strong)
MySQL (strong)
Writing scripts to scrape and parse data / Regular Expressions (strong)
E-commerce site development (strong)
Javascript (moderate)
HTML/CSS (moderate)
Unix/Linux/BSD System Administration (moderate)
Web design (minor) Usability (minor)
Schedule & Payment:
Our assumption (based on a good deal of experience coding similiar
sites) is that this project will take between 90-110 hours in total.
Our budget is $8,000, paid in 4 segments over 8 weeks:
$1,500 - down payment on March 13
$2,000 - payment on April 3 - assuming project is on schedule and work
can be verified
$2,000 - payment on April 17
$2,500 - project completion, payment on May 8
Thanks for your help and if you know anyone who would be right for this
position, please do send them our way!
