[wp-pro] wp-pro Digest, Vol 55, Issue 6

We offer Wordpress work for $35 to $65 per hour depending on the
requirements. All our business is word of mouth and we always have
work but can take on more. Everything from simple installations,
theme adjustments and style sheets to > full programming, custom code
to automate multiple plugins to work together, seo, etc....
There have had some projects we turned down because we did not feel
like we could handle them or the client did not clearly identify the
scope of work, so that is never good going in without a clear scope of
work, but we are upfront and will scope the work out and identify the
project before starting anything.
So there is everything out there but I agree finding the right partner
is never easy.
