[consulting] A chuckle

[Kevin Davison]

Per hour... hehe.

We've been defining costs here, but what about the Drupal "EXPERT" term that's emphasized so strongly?

Hobbyist vs. EXPERT

What if you're an EXPERT who also enjoys Drupal as a hobby too? And is an expert Developer defined by http://certifiedtorock.com/ #11? Some clients probably care less if you contribute back to the Drupal community to achieve that rating.

So if an EXPERT (based in the USA/EU) would charge $300 per hour, could (or, would) they do this site in an hour? :-)
(No.)

You'd have to be an "EXPERT" charging $11/hour for ~27 hours of work to do this, I think...

The site will be made with the Drupal CMS and therefore we require an EXPERT drupal developer.  Please don't bid if youre only building drupal websites as your hobby. You should be well familiar with content types and views, users integration in Drupal, advanced search and permission functions, multilingual sites (including rtl languages)...We can say that we are very strict with timelines and very clear with requirements so please give us the right estimation from the beginning...
