Work I'm Interested In:
I love working at the front-end of web related projects where the work is creative and strategic. I love to help clients succeed in their projects - so have taken great pains to build tools, processes and relationships that ensure that success. I work best in the following ways:
- New projects where I can be involved early on as Information Architect or Internet Strategist.
- New projects where I can work directly with the client as General Contractor/Consultant - performing the roles I'm skilled at and supplying other resources as needed.
- New projects being led by other skilled interactive teams / agencies where my involvement is providing the ExpressionEngine direction and implementation.
- New projects where I can provide ExpressionEngine consulting - reviewing project documentation and providing a development plan.
- New projects with realistic schedule and budget.
- Projects where I can work with and learn from other established EE developers.
- Teaching ExpressionEngine to existing interactive teams.
If this describes your project please do contact me. My availability is subject to change - but if my schedule doesn't match the project schedule I can also offer qualified referrals at a reasonable cost.
Work I'm Not Interested In:
Think of me as an architect and builder rather than a repairman. One of the largest reasons I'm so picky about how projects are done at the front-end is to avoid having naggling no-fun issues at the end. In that vein I'm not interested in:
- Fixing functionality or display issues on sites I didn't build.
- Taking over the general maintenance and upkeep of sites I didn't build.
- Being on-call as any sort of ExpressionEngine Support Consultant.
- Acting as paid ExpressionEngine tech support to those not happy with the existing options.
- Implementing sites with designs done by designers new to the web or with only print experience.
- Projects on any sort of "emergency" schedule.
- Projects where there is an expectation of a discount or non-profit rate.
- Projects where the developer will be chosen based on being the low-cost provider.
- Projects where the main hiring criteria is the developer's immediate availability.
If your project is one of these I don't provide referrals - your best bet is a post on the ExpressionEngine Job Forum.
