(Southern California (or Anywhere)) We are looking for a competent web developer/consultant with strong back end skills who can write good code and give good advice.
About Us:
We are a small Manufacturing company that makes Superchargers and related products. We have about 50 Employees but just 1 (me) working on websites.
We have five brands/sites, two of which we are focusing on:
- vortechsuperchargers.com - this is our largest site. You might notice some sloppy markup if you view source; it will be fixed.
- paxtonauto.com - this is another Supercharger brand, very similar to Vortech.
I am in the process of developing a shared framework to support both sites and need some help. I want to clean up some of the existing code and db structure from both sites to use in the framework and also add some new features, mostly having to do with user editing.
I am mainly a front end developer (HTML/CSS/Javascript) but I have been doing a lot of back end work on these sites. I would like to get some help from someone who has better back end skills than I do. If you also have front end skills then that would be great, too.
We run a dedicated LAMP server and the sites are written in PHP/MySQL, mostly custom written. I would be open to frameworks...
About You:
We need someone with the following skills:
- Application Design and Development (PHP/MySQL) - Please be able to help design an application based on a list of required features (as opposed to simply code-monkeying to a hard spec). In general, I am interested in code that is secure, runs fast and can be modified easily. Whatever methods you use are okay as long as the application works and it meets these requirements.
- Database Design (hopefully this was implied in the above item.
- Server Administration - It would be nice to have somebody who knows how to configure/install/upgrade LAMP software.
- Front end - You will probably be doing at least a little bit of front end work for us so please be able to write clean HTML and some Javascript. CSS/visual design skills are not necessary but let me know if you have them.
Our preference would be to find somebody who is able to meet in person at our office in Oxnard, CA at least once, but we are open to anybody.
Budget/Timeline
I will need your input to come up with a budget. First, I would like to send you the source code that I'm working on so you can look through it and tell me what you think (good, bad, ugly), then we can talk more about what needs to be done with it and what features we are going to be adding. Once you have a better idea of what we need then you can give me a cost estimate.
I have been working on this project on and off for about 6 months and I am about halfway through. I would like to launch something before Summer.Apply: Email me at amalmin@vortron.com with a link to your personal site and/or: info about your skills, sites you've worked on and maybe a few code samples.
