Need to hire a programmer, not sure which

SapperX · 03-12-2008, 02:21 AM

I've been making website professionally for small businesses and such for about 6 years. I am now starting my own business that requires a website with a cart, purchasing options, wishlist, login, all that stuff. I have only ever done the design aspect (xhtml,css,graphic design). What languages are used for creating such things and how much should I pay a programmer to implement it into my website for me?

Basically it needs to do everything newegg does apart from buyer feedback.

Can you please PM me with your task. I'll try to suggest you something in regards and prices.

That's a big ask and will require serious funds...it may also be having a look on sourceforge at their job/work section too as well as CodingForums.com- Web coding and development forums. Get help on JavaScript, PHP, CSS, XML, mySQL, ASP, and more! who have an excellent community...

I live at a University, I definitely have the cheap labor available to do it, just need to know the basics such as what coding languages are used and how much to offer.

Using PHP should suffice most of what you require in your original post

Great! Now I know what to put on my job listing. Any ideas for what I should pay a college level student?

I would have no idea what a PHP programmer would charge, it depends on what your budget is but the range in experience would be vast.

I do know some PHP but not lots and would help out free if required or pointers needed.

Don't forget i don't know much but am learning!

EDIT: hotscripts have some awesome free scripts available to use freely and would happily help out with finding and helping you implement them also.

Several hundred dollars for cheap labor, is my guess.

Well my budget is very large, so that is not a problem.

I guess what I'm asking is what would you charge, given you were a (poor) college student and this was a one time side job (meaning no college student would ask for $1,000 in their right mind, I would rather higher a professional).

Bugg- I really do appreciate the offer to help as well, I'll let you know if I have any questions regarding php.

I'm not sure how big the job is but I've been asked to do a couple jobs and charged $25 an hour. Took about 15-20 hours. At the end of my 3rd year now.
