Wouldn't you be better off finding a coder to do it and working with them? Rather than a contest..just seems that you'll get a lot of very similar results really. A coder would probably only cost 150 too Also, another thing mate..you say on the post that the PSDs will be sent to the winning coder...surely people need the PSD to be able to code it? OH wait, I think i've read it wrong lol. Still, maybe look in the services thread for a coder too. Good luck man
DaveyBoy: Yes ... I'd probably save money by posting on 'Services' but I thought I'd let the coders come to me and prove their credentials. The 'right' coder is worth $250 to me! (but they must prove they are worth every penny of it). This contest is to choose a winner .... then I'll work with them ... Nothing ventured ..... nothing gained .... 'Services' will be my next port of call .... after that I'll place an ad on 'Sitepoint'. Hopefully it won't come to that. My philosophy is the same here for this contest as for the last two contests I ran: ==> High standards - Good job - Prompt Payment! Thanks for the input - it's appreciated!!
I think the problem is people don't want to spend hours coding a theme (it takes that long) and risk earning nothing. In my opinion you should find one person from the programmer section.
He said it was not strictly a contest in that he requires loads of entries, he just wants coders to approach him.
Exactly .......... I want coders to approach me and say: 'This is me, I'm a WordPress coder, I'm a great coder, here are samples of my work to prove how good I am, I even have these ppl to vouch for me!' I then look at what's on offer and choose a 'winner' based on their experience and on how good they claim to be ..... off they go and code .... come back with the job done .... get paid .... I say 'wow, he/she is a great coder etc.' and I have a great site to prove it! Update: I have one approach via PM - checking it out now. ===> Coder hired!
Hey, i am a wordpress coder, i posted my work in your first contest thread but i'll post it again here. I'm kind of confused as to whether or not this IS a contest, but I would agree hayensey that most coders, myself included wouldn't want to spend hours coding for probably nothing. But anyways here's my work: http://www.morehits.ca/jobs http://blogbeirut.com/ http://techwebpress.com/ http://ispycoupons.com/ http://rockessentials.com/ http://www.closure.nu/track/ http://www.silent-news.com/ (debugging) http://www.ceint.com/blog/ http://www.morehits.ca/test/ Thanks.
You're too late .... I have a coder working on the site as I type. He should have it live within the next 48 hours. The contest was for coders to 'sell' themselves with their prior experience ..... no advance coding was required. Thanks for your interest ..................
coder let me down ........ due to a number of problems he couldn't complete the job! Any good reliable WordPress coder out there??
