Catchon Media, a web site & application development company, is in some seriousness need of rock-solid freelancers, preferably in the NY/NJ area, that are extremely proficient in Drupal to pick up contract work. Our cliental range from mah-and-pah shops, television networks, top 40 recording artists, and everything in between.
Here's what we need from you:
- Ability to take a spec and a PSD and make it a site. We need the whole life-cycle: great communication skills to keep the projects flowing, proficient in Photoshop for cutups - we strive on making mockups 1:1 with the end result, and the Drupal/PHP chops to make Drupal do what you need it to, or code up some magic if it can't (concentration on end-user ease, as always...)
- Moonlighters need not apply (sorry), full-time freelancers only: if we want to chat about something, we need to be able to hit you up during business hours, right?. A phone & instant-messaging presence is a biggy (note: everyone at CM did the midnight-oil burning to get here, so if you are doing Drupal on the side and have been considering going fulltime freelance, hit us up, we'd be happy to help you get there)
- Be a good dude: we're here to build some great stuff, and we need you to bring it. We have a lot of fun, a lot of laughs, and - fortunately - a lot of work, so being a part of that vibe will keep everyone going strong.
Some nice pluses to have: design chops, serious jQuery skills (listen to some crazy UX spec and go 'yea, i can do that'), Rails experience
So if you think you're a good fit, here's what we'd like to see:
- 2 or 3 Drupal projects you've done: send over links, and for each site - tell us why you thought it was worth sending over (we're code-whores, so showing us a custom module / script / template function would be a plus)
- Your hourly rate: we primarily work on contracts, but there are times we may do a straight client-referrals based on how busy we are. You giving us the most accurate idea of your rate gives us the advantage of matching up projects with you.
- An album you just grew out of because you played it to death, an album you just got into that you love (and still have that feeling like it's the best album ever and you're never going to listen to another album again ... until a couple of weeks), and an album / artist you wanted to get into but haven't yet. Yes, this is required. Yes, you will be judged for it.
- Your advantage: assume everyone has the exact same qualifications as you; what do you have that they don't that makes you more competitive?
No staffers, no solicitors, etc. We want to talk to you, the developer.
That's all we've got, we look forward to hearing from you
