Looking for someone to do some work for me for a fairly large non-adult related project which I need to get up and running ASAP.

I dont want to spend a lot of money on this but please contact me for more info (way too much to put on here) and then you can give me a quote based on the info I send you. I can pay by Paypal or whatever suits you. I will require references or examples of previous work in advance.

Please email: jason at british dash amateurs dot com if you are interested.

Tks

Jason

If you are looking for quotes, you are welcome to create a project on our site and get bids.

thanks
You may want to read the recent sticky by Chicken, http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38762 mentions a point you may want to follow in future posts.

Yes, I have read it. I am not sure there is a problem and if so he can tell me, move it or delete it.

He (Jason) is asking for job quote and I am responding, is that wrong - why do you think there is a problem?

thanks

Hi Jason,

I sent you an e-Mail :)

Service promotion in this forum is unacceptable, ie. rag moderator and Gurudev user.

I am not disputing that service promotion is not allowed but since I posted my request on the programmingbids.com board about 3 hours ago I have had 7 replies from programmers whereas I have had one directly from WHT.

Only concern is the HUGE price difference being quoted by respondents ($100 - $4500) for exactly the same job...

For what it worth, thanks Guredev!!!

Mondeo,

A good product does not cost cheap.

Good luck with your project

Guredev should have emailed you directly as his response wasn't exactly an offer for your job. In the ad forums, we try not to be too picky, though this forum is mainly for people to post a job offer or request and to get offers back. I have no doubts that a site suited solely to bidding for jobs would produce better responses, however we'd prefer that every job board/site not come and post URLs to their site as the only response. Technically it is against the forums guidelines to do this (as I said, we try to let the ad forum be as much as possible). In the future, just PM/Email directly and everyone will be happy and get the info they need and get the position filled.

Ok, no problems - I will just email them. I did not know. I thought that one could respond in the advertising forums and I have seen so many do it in the past. Also, your (chicken) post did not mention any such thing about replying to jobs and so I did not know what silent-chaoa was talking about.

I think you will see why there is such a big difference after you have finished your project with one of the low-bidders :)

You always get what you pay for. You can have good luck sometimes to get excellent work for a low price. But if you need something quick and safe with good quality, in most times you can't afford to rely on good luck.

I agree. Don't just accept a project based on a low bid. At the same time the highest bid does not mean that they will give you the best work. Unfortunately, that is how it works as programming and design is subjective. It is not a car for sale and there is no way to put a price on any work. If you see the bid ranges you will see some people/firms with excellent skills in between the lowest and highest bids.

In any case, if there is a better way to find programmers - designers then it would be nice. I don't think there is any other better method, unless you know someone or were referred to and in that case you won't need bidding.
