[consulting] seeking developer

[Josh McCormack]

Hi Korey,

You might want to check out Ben Hazzard's teachersconnecting.com. It
sounds like its trying to do something similar. I helped him out
minimally on that project.

Will you supply design for this project, or should that be part of the bid?

Thanks,

Josh
