[wp-pro] How to Hire a Pro

[Skaneateles Design]

I don't mind being called a geek.. It seems to me to be sort of a badge
of honor. :)  I have one customer who constantly writes and refers to me
as a "computer geek type," and I've never taken it badly.  I think he
says it with envy.  ;)  Lots of others have said it from time to time
to, and I can't remember a time that I was ever offended.

	A while back I suggested I could write a guide on hiring a
professional and lots of people said 'yes!'.  It followed a number of
wp-pro requests that were pretty low-ball, unprofessional and denigrated
the skills of the people on this list.

	 

	Finally I've written a 'lite' version:

ional-act-like-one/

	 

	Unfortunately what I've not had time to do is to write a full
'how to specify WordPress work' article, but I'm hoping to do that in
the near future as a guideline for potential clients.  In the above I do
raise a few points along the lines of how a mockup doesn't constitute a
full design document, for example.

	 

	Hopefully it's helpful.  It might seem a bit testy, but other
developers so far seem to relate well to the issues I put across.

	 

	All the best everyone and good luck in both hiring pros, and
being hired by them :o)
