Hi Rob,<div><br></div><div>Good question. I actually wrote an article about how to choose a good Drupal designer. <a href="http://sunwisedesign.ca/articles/how-choose-drupal-developer">http://sunwisedesign.ca/articles/how-choose-drupal-developer</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Hope this is helpful.</div><div><br></div><div>Solona<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 5:00 PM, Rob Fiegener <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rpfiegener@gmail.com" target="_blank">rpfiegener@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I need some help building a site, and don't want to waste a bunch of<br>
everyone's time with a bulky RFP. I see website development as more<br>
of a process than a product, and I'm looking for someone I can work<br>
well with.<br>
I feel like my project is pretty straight-forward (with a few twists)<br>
and well suited to an experienced freelancer or small shop. I don’t<br>
want a big firm with excessive overhead and project management. I’d<br>
like to have a direct relationship with a developer who I can talk to<br>
and work with. More agile than waterfall.<br>
So what's the best way of getting that? My project is a re-design, so<br>
a lot of the desired features/functions are pretty well defined (but<br>
I'm open to input). Doing separate discovery & development processes<br>
seems inefficient. Finding someone at <a href="http://freelancer.com" target="_blank">freelancer.com</a> or odesk feels<br>
sketchy (but cheap!).<br>
I haven't seen many RFQs (qualifications) for Drupal, but this seems<br>
like a good way of proceeding while respecting the time of the<br>
responding consultants. How much detail is appropriate to ask for?<br>
I appreciate whatever suggestions or feedback you can offer.<br>
Cheers,<br>
Rob<br>
