This is my first time doing something like this so maybe I got ripped off. But I posted on these forums for a coder to do my project and I received a few estimates. The highest one was more than $3000+! The guy who provided that estimate did seem to have his act together and provided the most thorough and professional estimate. But his price was way out of my range. I had some experience with Gio and his projects, so I decided to give him a try. I have no doubt that he could do what he promised, but he has obviously taken on more projects than he can handle, along with school and other commitments.
