Development Work Needed

[CTekMedia]

I'm looking to farm out some work - probably six figures. Has anyone here had / have companies they could recommend? Good experiences or bad experiences?

Thanks -

Cheers,

Bluetone

Since many of us in this CF forum work for design houses or on our own, it's going to be hard to get a fair assessment from this thread. I'm not trying to say anything derogatory or disparaging about any of the members here, but lets face it, some of our opinions are going to be biased towards ourselves or our employers.

I would suggest try running a search on CF programming in your area and checking out the websites from the results.


Hope This Helps!

Try posting the work on guru.com or craigslist.org under your town/state as get some local developers.

I reccomend craigs list as well...

I forund a Kick A$$ flash developer there and an amazing graphic artist....

I also got about a dozen contracts from there in the past 18 - 20 months..

Just be very cautious about the ppl that apply to your job post. See their portfolio, ask for references, and above all, have them sign a contract that spells out the terms of agreement.

I've recently gotten a few clients that were burned by other so-called developers. Cover your a$$ all the way.

Thanks - I posted on a couple of the CFUG's and have more offers than I can deal with. However, I have watched several posters here for years and I KNOW how good you are.....

I need to either hire a company with a history or an individual who I KNOW can do the job.

Brantguy - really? I might have to do some marketing of myself there lol. Never have spent much time on craigslist.

Great idea GUJUm0deL/brantGuy, I had never thought about using Craig's list for that (or anything else for that matter). I may have to check it out just to see.

ECAR, lol. I guess i'm on the same list as you are.

I have "marketed" myself on craigslist, and have yet to see the results of it. The problem is soooooooo many ppl post there that your posting gets lost in the shuffle. Besides, a lot of ppl now hire someone else to spam themselves on craigslist. I saw the same exact ad 10x in 7 categories in 3 states.
