SEEKING WORK - Remote *

Marketing Consultant. I will move your conversion rate up.

What I can do for you: email marketing, landing page marketing (includes copy, wire-framing for variations, design/html), a/b testing (landing pages, emails, ads), setup campaign for blog give-aways, PR mentions and/or affiliates.

Other activities may be included, but depends on what you currently have and/or approve based on my recommendations.

Work can be as one-time project or ongoing monthly partnership (starting at $1,800 USD, min. 3 months commitment).

Work is tracked using a monthly KPI sheet to watch over conversion rate plus related metrics.

* Short on-site gigs (only in Europe) available, depending on contract.

Mobile apps! iPhone! iPad! Android!

I was (and still am) a web developer but now I'm trying to build up my mobile portfolio and get things rolling in that direction. To that end, I am offering complete design & development of iOS or Android apps from $2000.

I say 'from' as it does depend on how mightily complex your app will be. We can also work out what can be done for the price if budget is an issue, though.

I put together a little site that explains things a bit more here:

Either email me through that or my contact info is my profile. Thank!

SEEKING WORK - Norwich, UK and remote

I have 12 years professional experience building sites and applications with open source technologies. I am reliable, and get stuff done.

PHP, Perl | Laravel, CodeIgniter | MySQL, MongoDB

I often utilise Test Driven Development, and strive to produce clean, maintainable code.

More backend focused than front-end, but have good experience of working with standards-compliant HTML, CSS, JS as well as JQuery and D3.

SEEKING WORK:

I just added a second developer to my one-man consultancy, so we're available for new projects. We only do full-time work, so we're able to provide you with the same level of service you expect from salaried employees, but with the pay-as-you-go flexibility of contract employees.

We do web development (Rails and Django) and dev-ops (with Chef) and are based in NYC. On-site is preferred.

SEEKING WORK - Remote

Web dev & design. I hear that's kind of a unicorn thing?!

Recruiter-style bullet points (assume 25+ years on all of these if HR asks):

* PHP (Codeigniter, Cake, Zend, Symfony, Laravel...)

* HTML 5, CSS 3

* Javascript (yes - and jQuery too!)

Also add in git/mercurial, responsive-ness, PS, AWS, API-a-plenty & I'm picking up AngularJS too.

Some of the things I've worked on: e-comerce x 1000, Wordpress, vehicle tracking, MRP/CRM/EMS/TLA, iOS apps... plus a load more.

My site: http://pitbot.net

Happy to discuss anything and talk through my previous work and whatnot.

I'm in the UK.

SEEKING WORK - Remote

UK based web dev, looking for small chunks of web development - most interested in Django and Angular work, but I'm quite prepared to dust off my Ruby, C# or even Wordpress development if the project is interesting.

I'm good with relational data and if you need someone to bounce a design off, I'm happy to be a sounding board.

I'm reasonable on the front-end, but not terribly original, happy to hack up html and css for you to predefined designs.

Hi, HN! I'm a full-stack web developer, looking to take on interesting freelance projects. I enjoy using Ruby, Rails, PostgreSQL, SASS, RSpec, and CoffeeScript/jQuery, but I always try to find the best tools for the job at hand. Recent projects of mine include a GitHub recommendations service and a rewrite of the Open Library gem.

I want to help you with your mobile development! I design and build mobile apps, both for native iOS and web. I'm comfortable working anywhere on the stack, from design to front-end development to server work. Some of my favorite tools include Ruby/Rails, CoffeeScript, Backbone, and Sass (and obviously Objective-C/Cocoa), but I'm much more about picking the right tool for the job at hand. I'm also big on practices like test-driven development, but above all it comes down to what you need and what works for you; bove all, I'm about collaboration and open communication.

SEEKING WORK - London, on-site / remote

Jack-of-all-trades backend Python developer with a wide gamut of experience doing backend development work. Past work include: enterprise-scale release management systems; large-scale ETL and web scraping; business integration work; report generation and other RDBMS CRUD apps (Oracle, MSSQL, etc.); writing modelling software for the train industry; and much, much more.

I am often called upon to do esoteric, non-Web development tasks; be it integrating disparate systems or helping a business out with failing projects by picking up the slack and learning tools and domain knowledge on the fly.

I am also more than willing to work with non-Python languages.

Used to working in high-pressure, client-facing environments.

I am available for on-site work in central London and remote work elsewhere.

Contact me and we can talk on the phone about your business's needs (see profile.)

SEEKING FREELANCER - remote - One-time Wordpress hosting provider switch and migration help needed.

I need help choosing a more appropriate WordPress host and migrating my three sites to the new host. I currently use WP Engine and pay $99/month for three sties with less than 1,000 visitors per month combined.

Two of the sites are very small and straightforward blogs. They are czstrong.com and theladude.com The other site is my businesses website - cpustorage.com. I don't think it's very complex either.

The Job:

* Recommend a new hosting solution that is less than $50/month. The cheaper the better, as long as it's reliable and easy to manage and deploy to.

* Migrate my three websites to the new provider.

* Setup SSL on the signup page of cpustorage.com

* Teach me how to manage the site. I currently use Git Push to Deploy, so if the new host had that that'd be nice. Or, feel free to teach me an even easier way to deploy!

I would like to pay a flat-fee for the whole project. I don't care if it just takes you a couple hours to do it. I'm not familiar with how much I should be paying for this, so please provide me with a quote.

If you'd like to help me with this project, please email me with your quote and telling me a bit about your relevant experience. I created these three sites myself and set them all up so I can help you get this done as efficiently as possible.

Thanks!

Chris

Your main obstacle, the real wildcard, is going to be WPEngine. They are not very proactive about helping people to leave.

iOS & Android App Design

I'm an app developer looking to supplement my meager income. I've been making apps since day one of the App Store and have always focused on the front-end design.

People gravitate towards icons and screenshots; why not have the best ones in the store?

Design doesn't stop at the visuals, though. I work with you to make a sensible hierarchy and layout, keeping your users happy and recommending you. I know backend code, so everything I design is possible.

Email me a link to your app; I'd happily give you some thoughts.
