[consulting] Contracted Help (As Needed Basis)

[Kevin Davison]

With 3,000 Drupalers at DrupalCon SF recently, it's only a matter of time before there are more Drupal professionals than there are now. But this also means that it may be that much harder to actually find good help.

It's easy to just watch a few free or paid (Lullabot) videos and get the Drupal basics right. But there's so much more to learn, which takes training and experience. I'm always learning something new, slapping my forehead to say, "doh!" -- only to realize I could have saved myself hours by knowing that simple thing. Kind of like to first time you learn about Views and CCK, just after you charged the client 20 hours to hack core (I've never done that, I swear!).

That said, I'm perceptively very busy right now too, but I can't be sure until each contract is signed, and the retainer has been paid to begin.
