Looking for some help --- I don't mind paying...

[Mac Stevens]

Hello,

I don't know whether this is the right group to post a help wanted ad
to or not. If this is the wrong place, please let me know the right
place.

I run a web development business. I'm looking for someone good in
Photoshop, CSS and Html and has a good working knowledge of installing
scripts, understands how to work with some of the major shopping cart
systems (like 1shoppingcart.com) etc...

The pay is $15 per hour US currency. If you're too slow or don't have
enough experience, don't apply.

If you don't accept PayPal -- don't apply.

It's only part-time work. But you must be ready to take on the
projects you are sent. The turn around time has to be very quick. If
not, you won't be with me for very long.

Email me your resume.

Thanks,
Mac

Your jokeing! The going rate for a web designer is $50 / $100 per
hour!.

Two jokes in one short line.

And there I was thinking "wow, £7.50 an hour - that's a whole £2 an hour
more than I get at my job serving burgers at McDonalds", but now I can't
apply because I don't have PayPal. Rats.

This is a joke posting, correct???

Let's get this straight - you run a web development business and you
think $15/hour is adequate pay for all the skills you require??? Do you
really run a web development business? It doesn't seem possible because
then you would know that the pay should be $50/hour or better.

If you don't accept PayPal -- don't apply.

It's only part-time work. But you must be ready to take on the
projects you are sent. The turn around time has to be very quick. If

At $15/hour, quick is unheard of, as well as good work.

Email me your resume.

For $15/hour, who needs a resume? I could go to JCPenney and make that
much without all these hassles or quailifications - and I'd get a check,
not a PayPal payment.

You can have good or you can have cheap, but you're not likely to get
both in the same person. If you're not willing to raise the pay, lower
your expectations. A lot.

But you wouldn't have the satisfaction of knowing you're making the world a
better place for ecommerce... <g>

(Btw, sorry for my abrupt disappearance from the other thread but I was
unexpectedly obliged to go out of town for a bit.)

The expression is: "There is good, quick and cheap. Pick any two."

You idiot. At that rate only slow and inexperienced folks *will* apply.

Can you really do that for just $15 an hour? Flash must be easier that I
thought.

Nah. Just low paying because nobody *really* wants it ;-)

Actually there are two reasons I would not take this job, the least of
them being the money. The main reason I would not take this job is
because an e-commerce site should be built using flexible width, with
nothing fun or fancy. And while I "could" build a site like that I
find building them rather dull and boring.

See I don't disagree with any of you about the right way to build a
site like that. That's exactly why I don't build sites like this. I
build fun sites, I build for the entertainment industry where I can be
creative and have fun. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong
building e-commerce sites someone has to do it. I just don't like to
do it.

I don't get what you mean here.

I get that you could find a flexible width site with nothing fun or
fancy boring to build.

Is a fixed width site with nothing fun or fancy boring to build too?

Is a flexible width site with fun and fancy stuff interesting to build?

Where does a fixed width/fun and fancy side rank?

Did you introduce too many variable there? Not having a go at you, just
interested to know the relationship between flexible width and dull and
boring.

.... and, of course, you don't like flexibility except where it
comes to the ultimate flexible, the motherhood statement and
letting everyone do whatever they like.

 

[Travis Newbury]

What don't you get? I don't enjoy making e-commerce sites. I find
the coding to be dull, I find the artistic liberties to be stifling.
I just don't enjoy making them. What's not to get?

fancy boring to build.

If it were a fixed width e-commerce site? Yea, that would be just as
dull

Where does a fixed width/fun and fancy side rank?

Fixed or flexible is irrelevant. The content, and the liberties
allowed with the presentation of that content is what I find dull.

Answered above.

Flexibility has nothing to do with what I like to build. Liberties/
restrictions in the presentation of the content is the difference.

I don't understand the $15 an hour part. That's about 1/6 what it
should be, so I'm going to assume that at that rate I'm getting paid
48 hours a day.

Is that right? What sort of math do I need to figure this out?

Got you now. I read "like that" as applying to "flexible width, nothing
fun or fancy" rather than to e-commerce sites.

Fixed or flexible is irrelevant. The content, and the liberties
allowed with the presentation of that content is what I find dull.

Can't blame you for that.
