    Looking for a php programmer

    Hello,

    My name is Angela Mastrodonato. I'm a web designer who would like the
    assistance of a php programmer. Some of my clients have requested more
    dynamic web sites, and I am in the beginning phases of learning php.
    When it comes to common services, such as shopping carts, I have found
    ways to modify existing scripts.

    However, I have been getting requests for services that seem specific,
    and require a more customized approach than the "out-of-the-box"
    solutions provided by hosting companies. For example, I have a
    potential client who would like to add a "testing room" to his web
    site. I'm not even sure exactly what this is or if php would be the
    best approach. In a situation like this, I feel hiring a programmer
    may be the most efficient solution.

    I need someone who is easily accessible. Since I like to communicate
    by phone as well as email, I prefer someone local. Building a good
    relationship is very important to me. For our first meeting, I would
    like to meet face-to-face. I live and work in Western Mass. I would
    prefer someone who works out of Springfield, MA or Hartford, CT, but I
    would consider working with someone from the Boston area.

    While php is the only language I am familiar with, I prefer someone
    who knows other languages such as ASP and can make recommendations as
    to which approach would be best for each project. I would like someone
    to help me in areas such as which hosting company is best for
    supporting certain projects.

    Anyone who is interested should email a resume to me at:
    afmastro@comcas t.net

    Thank you very much.

    P.S. I'm looking to bid for a project by Tuesday, July 27, 2004. I'm
    going to pass my programming expenses on to the clients. Those who can
    reply quickly with rates will have the advantage.
