[...] If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my site using a feedreader or email. Thanks for visiting – Damien.I think the IIA Social Media Working Group which has just been formed has come out just in the nick of time. “Social media” is the new hot thing (despite being around for a few years) and just like in every gold rush you get the devious, duplicitous, defrauding, dodgy types who will tell you and sell you any lie they can in order to remove you from your money, “social media” already seems to have the scammer types in this new field. This probably won’t be the main remit but I do think this group will stop SMEs and larger companies from being ripped off and conned just by existing. Thank the gods. Imagine if we had such a group when SEO and Search Marketing started off. Or blogging? Maybe less people would have gotten screwed on blog installs? [...]

We’ll offer any Wordpress related service for 40 Euro per hour or we’ll agree a price per project for anything more involved.

We can offer theme based sites or design a theme at very fair prices.

We can be contacted via http://comology.co.uk

Regards

Rob

Hi all,

I’m looking for a good designer to produce stylesheets for a holiday apartment rentals website.

We’ve estimated that this will take less than three days, including contingency.

The project is underway, and we’re currently building the ecommerce and database elements.

There is a holding site in place, but as it was built by a programmer, as opposed to a designer, it ain’t pretty.

If you are interested, please email me at jobingalway at gmail dot com

Kind regards,

Cormac.

To all those people who will do it for â‚¬/$15 or less. Does that include talking to them to find out what thay want (in my experience a lot of people don’t have a really clear idea what sort of website/blog they want, only that they want it)? does it include hoding their hand while they take their first faltering steps? Does it include being there when something goes wrong, as it surely will? A couple of hundred â‚¬/$ isn’t excessive for setting up a business website/blog that is going to make the client money.

I do blogs, and typically the price varies, depending on what someone wants. Prices when I do it work from â‚¬60 and that’s for a hours consultation and including some of the basic plugins like
* All in One SEO
* WP-ContactForm
* Google XML Sitemaps
* Dagon Design Sitemap Generator

Can’t believe anyone would charge ridiculous fee’s like that…

Assuming it’s just a basic install and not custom themes or mods, those guys should be named and shamed…

Make a post on digital point forums asking for an install and within 5 minutes you’ll have a queue of people who can do the job for peanuts.. ($5 or less)…

Now reputation/security etc… comes in to it then and you have to be a good judge of character, but a quick check of itrader, portfolio, a few pm’s and you’re done. $5 isn’t going to break the bank anyway.

I’d be glad to be added to your list of WP installers. I’m an experienced WP user and by reading the “About” on my site, you can get an idea of my skills with WP and my mission to not “rob people blind”.

It does take a certain amount of technical skill compared to the average non-techie, but a basic installation shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg;)

$100 US Dollars for me to do an install.
