good tips

this may have just saved me, I am now going to take my time now and reevaluate how i handle the desperate help i require.

I think we have just become a victim of this very post. We are trying desperately to find someone to complete our site. Anyone interested or know somebody? Really appreciate any/all feedback.

Thank you

Your best bet would be to post in the paid requests section, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=30

Describe what it is you are looking to have done, so potential hires know what is needed.

Thank you very much Ozzy47

Sorry to bump an old topic again, but this kind of stuff is required every month (updated though ;))
This is the best thing.. in case of some complex programming for sure..

Can some programmers confirm the hourly rates present (its been 7-8 years now)
65 - 150 US$ in past compared to present rates ?

Thank You.

I can, my base rate is $75/hr and when working on hacked sites since I'm taking a risk I charge $150/hr. Others vary and it truly depends on a number of factors including location/experience/history(portfolio or similar) and I've seen some fantastic coders who work for under $25 some so low as $10-$15/hr although that's usually from folks located overseas and NO, just because someone does not speak perfect English does not mean that they do not understand code (php/html etc) I've been privileged to work with many who I could tell by their work was on par (how they coded was great, unlike other horse hockey I've seen) despite the language barrier.

I know a few more skilled than myself who charge less, differences-a-plenty though so can't truly compare its best to do research and pick the programmer who suites your needs and your budget.
