Good Afternoon!
This can be my first posting here so hello to all!
Background:
Throughout southern california Tim
I am an HR Manager
I want to hire a web designer (local for you to Chicago)
My major issue: finances.
Our company has a website up and running http: //www. FLCenters. com
Our developer/designer offers left us in addition to we need a fresh one.
How well come up with is our website and may we reasonably expect and therefore retain a developed web developer effective at overhauling and contributing to our website for under 20$ a good hour
Any advice/ suggestions tend to be welcome.
*** I understand from asking about our budget is incredibly low. ***
Advice so far as hiring someone… head over to www. odesk. com. You’ll find what you would like for the price you’re prepared to pay. There are many people there to select from, although you’ll also have plenty of unqualified people looking for stuff. And that isn’t an affiliate website or anything.
So far as how well come up with your website can be, it isn’t terrible. It isn’t great, but no website ever is. Which is the nature regarding websites. A perfect site would not exist. The Html page used is o . k, although tables tend to be misused in locations throughout.
On your " Joe Siegler, MD" page, I get a new database connection failing message.
Your blog needs much less content on the particular opening page. It takes forever to get a hold of.
Many testimonials: could be bogus, could be authentic. It’s hard to express to, which usually means the first kind. I don’t think they’re fake by myself, but it’s hard to speak about. You need methods to legitimize your many testimonials.
General, my big problem is the business model is very much an all-or-nothing play. You’re either about to get the great corporate clients using deep pockets as well as you’re going to obtain nothing. Your copy and overall tone of one’s site looks like something that could appeal to some sort of corporate type (I state that because to be a non-corporate type To keep find it medium nausea-inducing, but then again, I’m the last guy on the earth anyone should be marketing to, especially something like this).
So you will discover my thoughts… it really is aesthetically okay, that code is reasonable, but there are generally technical errors and what seemingly can be a lack of thought from a few places (e. gary the gadget guy. testimonials).
It is just a fairly neatly made site. The html document is ok ant, although a little expired (for a get started " embed " is depreciated) and may be tided up slightly but yeah it seems solid enough in my opinion. The photos is a little generic : stock business digital photography training istockphoto style.
Nonetheless, php wise it is just a little hard to see without actually seeing a back corner end coding. Also, one time WE viewed it and it also bought up " data source connection failed" – but at the least we know the fact that error message handling seems like it’s in area.
I think you can have to select more junior (I will not mean young automatically, just " junior" if you discover what I mean) creator at that sort of wage – in case you are thinking of outsourcing tools then IMHO that is the very low wage. I usually charge more like $30 – $35 one hour. Full time office it might be considered *slightly* better if it’s a guaranteed wage..
Personally – I might do some be right for you at that sort of wage, but only maybe for any limited time – assuming I really could take on the project not surprisingly depending on that brief.
You say " Incorporating to" – it really have to have a cms in order to do that on your own. That would conserve money over time. Overhaul Depends just what you mean, in the event you mean design you wish someone who can perform graphics and programming.
You’ll probably have the ability to find someone for $20/hr, but you will probably get about a similar quality of work which you have already.
Well Thats annoyingly , many people guys – we might have the ability to get someone quality for 20$ one hour but I honestly don’t think he is even gonna pay that much. It’s absolutely absurd. Thanks for the particular feedback though!
If anyone listed here is a Chicago local and also wants to get in contact, I can make sure to coordinate with you and check if my boss will probably accept your hourly charge.
I for one think we will need to take a strong stand on this stuff. If he ain’t paying the correct money he ain’t qualifing for the service and is usually left stranded. Does he aim to knock his plumber down Or his mechanic Or his builder
Bosses and clients have to learn they can’t have it both ways – they can’t get it on the cheap and get the coffee quality they want.
How come POST pay my tattooist the equivalent of $120 an hour, yet we expect Web-developers for $20 a good hour
I believe $20 is the bottom limit he can go to, unless either he has outsourcing to India for example. in which event he takes the chances, or you will discover other perks like working from a home office chucked in.
POST agree entirely. However when do the job does get done whether it is plumbing or kinetic work he does are very argumentative using whoever is presenting him the line. Basically he can be a modern day Mr. Scrooge. You think 20$ would be your lower end
Many thanks. I’ve been trying to convince him but he or she is lost in this kind of fantasy world where he could be always right.
That’s going to be really daunting. I didn’t learn the " local" part the first time.
You do have one some other option that operate (I won’t express " will" because I believe it’s a coin flip). Go onto Craigslist . org and make a similar post. There are so many desperate starving performer types on there that you could get someone in your budget. But including Ferro said, don’t expect an excess of. It may well were the reason the prior developer took away from… low reward, high maintenance (or at the least a maintenance level higher than the reward level).
Which is actually where we’ve found been posting our ads. That and the many major colleges within Chicago. Craigslist yields a decent amount of hits although they still normally range in asking price of 30$+
So you are absolutely right in regards to the high effort/ very low reward…. You have to deal with this guy. It really is insanity.
I’m assuming your boss is a good doctor him self. And I was about to make a equivalent comment, but I didn’t would like to come off hard… at least quite a bit less harsh as I’m able to… because I actually feel bad for you. You’re ensnared. You’ve got to try and meet what is an extremely difficult, if not impossible, demand. And likelihood is that the pricing is a tip of the particular iceberg.
Reading his copy and reading his videos, he reminds me of an former client connected with mine who ended up being a " motivational speaker". His story was that he was a former body builder who survived your traumatic brain injury in the motorcycle accident, also it was all a feel-good story and also everyone would adhere to him and listen to him and he would inspire others in addition to blah blah blah.
The condition with the story is always that he was one who caused the accident start by making an illegal still left turn. I learned this particular about 2 years after I started dealing with him, just before he released his / her DVD, which he wanted me to extract clips by and put one. Okay, no problem… it’s not a thing i normally carry out, but I can figure out something. He mailed my family the DVD over a Friday and, thanks to a mail fault, I did definitely not receive the DVD until two several weeks later, which I’d told him in addition to he seemingly comprehended.
The following Sunday, he thought we would take his motorcycle out for your ride. Unfortunately, he decided of showing up at the home that I appeared to be renting the basement of once and cut donuts within the front yard. Pondered previously experienced some difficulties considering the man, as he was somewhat hard, but this was way too far. I burned the contents associated with his website against a CD, created a take note explaining why I used to be no longer gonna work on her site, took it and also the DVD upstairs, walked out while watching bike, handed him the stuff, didn’t say a word, walked back in their home, stopped his website within IIS, referred to as the cops in addition to told them just what had happened. Luckily for us, the landlady wasn’t home once, although she was pissed when she found.
" What happened towards yard"
" Some idiot showed up on his bike from random and does this. Don’t be anxious, though. I obtained the plate in addition to reported it undoubtedly. They’ve charged your ex boyfriend with vandalism. " I thought this was true… I only conveniently omitted the connection with him.
" Is he gonna pay for it"
" In the event you sue him, I had imagine so. "
They settled out of court and she finished up getting a completely front yard right out the deal, so your lover was happy.
But that’s the particular impression I get of this Siegler guy. He’s probably one of those guys who just is required to get his means because he’s your celebrity in his / her own mind. He’s above what the law states, above reason, and most importantly the lowly peons who happen to talk about the planet having him.
POST can’t believe Now i’m saying this for you to an HR male, but never mind trying to find a web designer to help your employer available… you may well would like to find a brand-new employer yourself, gentleman.
Too possibly be entirely honest, your story hits pretty nearly home. I have been half-looking for a new job. It’s an incredibly time consuming process though. And you are right. He has for getting his way almost at all times.
He has been operating for over a decade though – so he is doing something right (at smallest for his patients) : his employees quite a bit less much. (It has consumed me since October to receive us on a bi-
