Hmm, rather rough, but expected.
Clarification;
someone with experience
Someone who will not drop off bad code and nver be heard of again. If you make code you realize you can miss a bit and you should take care of your own. (3days max emails to install and debug)
300 too little? really... for a modified existing shopping cart and a simple user management backend?
Hmm, if you do not have the skills and the existing scripts, yes it would be a lot of money to pay you to learn how, but I am looking for someone with experience that already has done code before and has enough working engines that it should not take long to get it together.
also, for those who cannot read, budget based on experience and scope of project...
Already found someone who will do it for an agreed price.
as for people living at home, I would assume you are very young without much experience (read: full of bugs) or a older programmer who could not make it.
IF you knwo SQL/PHP and have done a shopping cart before, it should take less than a day to adjust it to time based, and simple user authentication to make a 'admin' area with simple textareas for upload to a relative databse.
I guess some of you get those 3,000 dollar contracts everyday, so don't even look at my ads if you do, it is out of my range.
and as a final, the nice gentleman that is confused about the support and testing is completely off base.
It should take a small bit of time to install....and I would expect that bugs be addressed as I adapt it to the site.
If the program works, then it should need no support or testing, but a GOOD programmer would realize that he can miss some things and to expect a few emails the first few days saying 'this is not working'....
Good Programmers deliver quotes not insults
good programmers actually "READ" the specs and notes and not jump to conclusions.
And to help you understand why I had to put that there, perhaps you should put an ad out for software.....the number of inexperienced people that basically spam the living hell out of you (especially the guys from pakistan and india) is so alarming and so annoying, that one must be harsh and rouhg to try to drive them away.
I pay bonuses for good work.
I have a stockpile of scripts bought for 50 to 500 dollars taht do not work and suck. if you would like to buy one, let me know, I have tons of them.
Money is not an issue.... experience and ability are...... if you have it, bring it on, if not, then sorry if my ad offends you..
actually, no I am not sorry my ad offends you..... I really do not care what you think.....
have fun building your cheap scripts and complaining that no one will hire you.
I pay cash and quick and upfront. I pay bonuses.
money talks, BS walks bucky
blah
