    Hi guys, I need a website for my business. The current one doesn't exist. Yes, I will pay, yes, I need to be able to find it on google(and hopefully others will be able to also) and it needs to look good - professional and crispy. Also, I'm an evolver, so I'd like it if the website evolved as well..

    I'm in the kildare area - you don't need to be, but it might help, then again, it might not.. but if you're in Alaska, meeting up might get akward.

    Most of our current clients/target clients are on the big side, ie multinationals. We're on the small side but need to appear equally global and glossy -minus the hat-stand and company Merc. We're fifteen years in business, so are jaded, cynical, downtrodden, been there, got the t-shirt - we don't really do "dreamy" so I'd prefer if you didn't either. If this sounds like somthing you could get your teeth into(and our products are damn good), pm me. We can have a coffee and bullshit each other about our past successes, what great value you are and how much I want to pay - then maybe just get on with it and get it done.. Thanks.

    Hi Guys,

    I have created a website using a free template design and it looks OK but think it could be better. So what I'm looking for is somebody who can maybe create a 5 page website. I have an idea what I'm looking for but wouldn't be able to do it myself.

    Hi People.

    I am looking for a person who is interested in a partnership in selling high quality products over the web.

    I have set the site up and linked all google webmaster, analytics, adwords accounts and have done seo work and have numeroos back links and made some sales.

    However I need to take the site to the next level, increase traffic and hence sales. The market based on keyword and competitor research is huge. I can only read so much and need that expertise and experience to make the site more profitable, i.e. increase sales.

    I am based in Dublin and am IT literate but I need a digital marketing partner who can I can work with and under their direction. I don't want to use a company as I would prefer a partner to work with as it would be based on results driven sales.

    If this is something that sound like you would be interested in please drop me a line. There is definitely money to be made.

    Thanks.

    Hi all,
    I’m building a website and I need help to develop some of its functionality. I’m using Soholaunch website builder. Sorry for the long post but I wanted to give as much detail as I can.
    Please PM me with a quote on the following if interested:

    1 - The site has a section for users to login. There’s a form in there that they can fill in with certain information and the data goes into a Database. All this is fine. Where I need help is on this:

    - Link table to each of the user’s account so they can see it and manage it every time they login. Currently the information entered on the form is saved on the Database fine but it’s gone from the screen after the user hits save
    - Add log out button on this page.


    2 - I have created search form for users to make a search on the Database.

    - I don't know how to link this search form with the Database table where the info is held (a search form can be created from the Database directly and the search produce results fine. However this search form doesn’t look the way I would like it and I cannot add all the fields that I need on the search). Multiple results are possible and a book button should be placed beside each of them.
    - When displaying the results of the search, two fields have to be calculated and I don't know how to do that (i.e. total cost less deposit (which is a %) = Total to pay now). I want the page with the results to be simple.


    3 – When the user selects book, s/he will be directed to a form to enter some personal information (such as email address) and there will be a link to Paypal to pay the deposit.

    - The form should display a small summary of the booking details including total cost and total deposit.
    - Trigger an automatic email to the user when the payment has been processed with a reference number (from Paypal I guess?) and the details of the booking. The email should also go to my webmaster email account.


    I can provide a requirements document with screenshots and how I think it would work on the web. As It's my first site, I'm open to suggestions of course.

    Thanks

    What should I expect to pay a freelancer to help me setup an online shop through Shopify? I just signed up for the free version, but will be paying the monthly fees after 14 days.

    Would need to makeup a company logo, and a nicely designed web page. Hope I'll be able to add the products myself (when they arrive). Thanks

    Don't have 5k. I would have thought that would be a crazy price?

    How much do you think this Shopify website cost to develop?

    I'm in contact with the developer of that site (via Elance), and he's coming back to me with a price. He's got 100% feedback, with superb reviews.

    I've also got other quotes, from other highly rated developers and they were no where near €5k.

    Obviously people in India would do it cheaper, but still think that price is excessive.

    PS I have lots of PM's I need to reply to. Cheers

    Hello All

    I currently have a website http://www.myelectrician.ie/ which I want to redevelop. I like the overall format but think it lacks a professional look, some of the fonts aren't appealing, the blog is poorly laid out etc etc.
    I am looking for someone to work with what I have or redevelop from scratch using a suitable theme.
    My ambition is to be in the top 3 of Google for keyword 'Electrician Dublin' so an understanding of SEO etc is important.

    PM if interested with an eg of other Wordpress based sites you have developed.
    I am based in Dublin.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    We are a community & voluntary group in Meath and need some help on an existing website.

    Budget: €0
    Kudos on working on the site: Lots - we will get media coverage on the site and profile you highly on completion
    Future paid work prospects on the site: Looking positive - we are applying for a lot of funding to keep the site sustainable

    We need to:

    1) Convert the HTML site to WordPress
    2) Put in one interactive map
    3) Add a blog
    4) Make some of the features easier to use especially a couple of forms that will automatically add information to some of the pages.

    It is an exciting site and the right person might help the completion and functionality of it.

    I have spent about a year working on this site voluntarily and being a self taught designer - would appreciate some expert finishing off.

    I know there is someone out there that could possibly become a permanent member of an exciting group!

    I agree, a truly ridiculous post/quote. Not great advice for small start-ups looking for advice.

    Have no idea what planet some Irish developers are living on. Like they haven't accepted that all that Tiger lunacy died some time in 2008. It's a global market now, with nearly everyone owning a smartphone, skpe etc. It makes doing business in foreign countries a breeze.

    Nearly completed my shofity store now. Designer doing all the work (inserting my product images on homepage etc.) for €260. Very professional approach.

    Have also hired an Irish freelancer for other projects as she's not living in fantasy land with her quotes. Buy Irish where at all possible.

    While 5k was ridiculous in my opinion, 260 is equally so. No idea how it can pay someone to do it for that price.

    Why? Do you know the average wage in places like India and Pakistan? €260 is a few weeks wages in some countries, you know.:)

    Well probably worth stating that you got it done abroad then? From the rest of your post I assumed that you'd hired Irish workers for the projects.
